Software Engineer, Operations Research

The role

You will build models to drive decisions for a factory-scale robotics platform. This includes planning factory throughput, modeling the Grid, pricing orders, and managing inventory.

What you will do

• Plan the factory by scheduling orders, panels and machines for throughput and on-time delivery.
• Model the Grid to find bottlenecks and determine the value of new machines or changes.
• Estimate order costs in labour, machine time and parts to help set prices and lead times.
• Decide what parts and consumables to stock and when to order them.
• Put models into production to feed planning and quoting systems.

Required qualifications

• A quantitative background in operations research, applied maths, statistics, quantitative finance, economics or a similar field.
• A record of models that changed real decisions.
• Optimisation: linear and integer programming, constraint programming, or heuristics.
• Simulation and forecasting: building a model of a messy system and calibrating it to data.
• Strong Python and SQL.
• Use coding agents to move faster and take full ownership of what they produce.
• Curiosity about how things are physically made.
• Spend time in our factories in the US and UK.

Nice to have

• Manufacturing experience is welcome
