- Develop and maintain discrete event simulation models for maritime manufacturing processes
- Build critical chain project management models to drive production scheduling and resource leveling
- Write scripts and automate production control workflows to increase team throughput
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to validate simulation assumptions and implement improvements
- Provide data-driven analysis for capital equipment investments and capacity planning
- Create visualizations and reports for cross-functional decision-making
What they're looking for
- Discrete event simulation (FlexSim, Simio, AnyLogic, Arena, or equivalent)
- Production planning and scheduling
- Data analysis and visualization (Python, Excel)
- Critical chain project management
- Process automation and scripting
- Manufacturing process knowledge
- Operations Research fundamentals
- Technical communication and reporting
Benefits
- Work on cutting-edge defense technology and AI-driven manufacturing systems
- Hands-on role applying simulation and optimization to real-world production challenges

Likely interview questions
- Walk us through a discrete event simulation model you've built. What platform did you use, what were the key assumptions, and how did you validate it against reality?
- Describe a time when simulation or data analysis revealed a production bottleneck or capacity constraint. How did you communicate that finding to the team, and what happened as a result?
