Modeling & Simulation Operations Systems Analyst

Location: Oak Ridge, TN

About the role

Build, optimize, validate, and maintain high fidelity discrete event simulation (DES) models of manufacturing processes. Deploy and support use of modeling and simulation to the facility level. Analyze real world and simulated data. Conduct “what if” scenarios and identify capacity constraints and bottlenecks. Present findings, recommendations, and trade-offs to stakeholders and senior leadership.

Enjoy access to a fully equipped workspace and all the tools you need to succeed (hardware, software, training). Benefit from direct access to and mentorship from senior developers/engineers who can guide your career growth.
