Job Summary:
Mytra is creating innovative solutions for the supply chain industry, focusing on robotics and distributed software to address material movement and storage challenges. The Senior Modeling & Optimization Engineer will analyze operational data and build simulation models to validate warehouse designs, ultimately supporting customer engagements and influencing product development.
Responsibilities:
• Analyze customer operational data — order profiles, SKU demand patterns, throughput characteristics, and work schedules — to inform system design and sizing decisions.
• Design, build, and execute simulation models (discrete-event simulation, scoped scenario models) to validate warehouse designs and quantify system performance for customer proposals.
• Develop optimization models and recommender logic to support layout decisions, fleet sizing, zoning strategies, and other design trade-offs.
• Embed directly in customer engagement teams alongside solutions engineers and account owners; translate analytical findings into deliverables that are clear to both internal stakeholders and customers.
• Conduct structured experiments, sensitivity analyses, and design space explorations; communicate results and actionable recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Build repeatable analytical workflows, scenario configurations, and validation frameworks that raise the baseline capability of the broader commercial engineering org.
• Contribute to the team's shared tooling — modeling libraries, data pipelines, visualization templates, and automation — with an emphasis on enabling others to self-serve over time.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years of industry or relevant experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including object-oriented design and building production-grade code.
• Experience with at least two of: discrete-event simulation, mathematical optimization, statistical modeling, or applied data science.
• Ability to design experiments, analyze data, and communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Solid engineering fundamentals (systems thinking, algorithmic reasoning, version control, testing).
• Comfort working directly with customers or in customer-adjacent roles where your analysis informs high-stakes decisions.
Preferred:
• Professional experience on a modeling, simulation, operations research, or applied data science team.
• Familiarity with DES frameworks (SimPy, salabim, or equivalent).
• Background in warehouse automation, robotics, manufacturing systems, industrial engineering, or supply chain.
• Experience with data visualization tools (Plotly, Matplotlib, Dash, etc.).
• Experience building internal tools, modeling libraries, or analytical workflows used by others.
• Exposure to optimization solvers or libraries (OR-Tools, Gurobi, PuLP, scipy.optimize, etc.).
