What We Need

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager to lead our System Modeling & Design Simulation organization. This team develops mathematical models, analytical tools, and simulation frameworks used to evaluate future system designs, optimize performance, and guide strategic engineering decisions.

The team enables data-driven innovation by creating predictive models that help engineering organizations understand how complex robotic systems will perform before physical implementation. Through system-level simulation and quantitative analysis, the team reduces technical risk, accelerates product development, and improves operational efficiency.

This leader will manage a team of approximately 5-10 engineers and modeling specialists.

What you'll do

Technical Leadership

• Define and execute the strategy for system modeling, engineering simulation, and design optimization.

• Develop mathematical models representing robotic systems, workflows, operational processes, and system behaviors.

• Lead creation of simulation tools used to evaluate future product architectures and design concepts.

• Build capabilities for throughput analysis, capacity planning, system optimization, and performance forecasting.

• Drive design-space exploration and trade-off analysis for next-generation products and technologies.

• Develop discrete-event, operational, and system-level simulations supporting strategic engineering decisions.

• Partner with architecture, controls, mechanical, and software teams to analyze design alternatives and optimize system performance.

• Establish quantitative methodologies and predictive models that improve decision-making across the organization.

Engineering Leadership

• Lead and develop a team of 5-10 simulation and modeling engineers.

• Establish technical standards and modeling best practices.

• Create a culture focused on analytical rigor, innovation, and engineering excellence.

• Support hiring, mentoring, and career growth of technical staff.

Strategic Impact

• Provide simulation-based recommendations that influence product and technology roadmaps.

• Partner with engineering leadership to assess future investments and architectural decisions.

• Communicate complex technical findings to executive and cross-functional audiences.

What you'll need

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in system simulation, modeling, operations research, robotics, controls, or related disciplines.

• Minimum of 3 years of engineering management experience.

• Experience managing teams of 5-10 engineers.

• Strong background in mathematical modeling, optimization, simulation, and systems analysis.

• Experience with design trade studies, performance modeling, capacity planning, or operational simulation.

• Knowledge of discrete-event simulation, control systems, optimization techniques, statistics, and analytical methods.

• Experience translating simulation outputs into engineering and business decisions.

• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
