About the role
- Design and implement simulation models for warehouse systems, including autonomous vehicle travel, storage policies, SKU zoning, and pallet/tray retrieval flows.
- Develop new simulation capabilities (Discrete event simulations components, routing logic, orchestration modules, etc.) within our internal simulation platform.
- Work closely with Software, Solutions, and Product to prototype, test, and iterate on control policies.
- Conduct structured simulation experiments, analyze results, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for product and operational strategy.
- Contribute to core simulation platform development—model APIs, architecture, performance improvements, data pipelines, and automation tools.
- Build repeatable modeling workflows, scenario configurations, and validation frameworks to ensure consistency across simulation studies.
Requirements
- 3+ years of industry or relevant experience
- Strong proficiency in Python, including object-oriented design and building production-grade code.
- Experience with discrete-event simulation, probabilistic modeling, or large-scale systems modeling.
- 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).
- Preferred Qualifications: Professional experience in simulation engineering or modeling/operations research teams.
- Familiarity with DES frameworks (SimPy, salabim, internal engines, or equivalent).
- Background in warehouse automation, robotics, manufacturing systems, industrial engineering, or related fields.
- Experience with data visualization (Plotly, Matplotlib, Dash, etc.)
- Experience contributing to simulation platforms, modeling libraries, or internal tooling.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation + equity grants at a high growth company backed by top tier VCs
- Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), commuter benefits, and pet insurance
- Lively modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build and test phases
- Lunch and snacks provided in the office; we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
- Flexible hours and flexible PTO
