Industrial Analytics Engineer L4: AI-Driven Capacity & Cost

Wipro Limited; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 60,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

Wipro Limited in Boston, MA is seeking an Industrial Analytics Engineer L4 to advance AI-driven industrial analytics on an onsite basis. You will build models that improve manufacturing efficiency, capacity planning, and cost optimization using shop-floor data and real-time visibility.

You’ll develop analytical models for capacity, labor, and cost, partner with Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and MES teams, and translate outputs into clear executive recommendations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in industrial engineering analytics, manufacturing modeling, or operations analysis.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing systems, capacity planning, and industrial engineering principles.
• Experience: 5-8 years.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain capacity models (target vs. forecast vs. gated capacity) using cycle time, OEE, yield losses, and bottleneck analysis.
• Develop labor models to optimize headcount, utilization, and labor cost across production systems.
• Create and evaluate capital investment business cases, including ROI, IRR, NPV, and cost-benefit analysis.
• Lead COGS modeling covering labor, overhead, scrap, and process-driven cost components.
• Support factory layout, site planning, and material flow decisions using data-driven insights and modeling.
• Run scenario analysis and sensitivity studies to evaluate production strategies and capacity expansion plans.
• Utilize and/or develop factory simulation models such as FlexSim, AnyLogic, and Simio to analyze throughput, bottlenecks, and system performance.
• Support factory ramp-up, installation, and operational readiness through model validation and performance tracking.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, Engineering) to align models with real-world constraints and business needs.
• Translate complex analytical outputs into clear, executive-level insights and recommendations.
• Work with MES and Controls teams to integrate shop-floor data into IE models, ensuring accurate OEE measurement and enabling real-time, scalable dashboards.
• Introduce and implement AI-driven tools and platforms to enhance industrial engineering analytics and decision-making.
• Design and manage scalable data models and data architecture for IE, capacity, labor, and cost analytics.
• Develop standardized systems, frameworks, and governance for data modeling, analytics, and reporting.
• Automate data collection, validation, and reporting pipelines using AI and advanced analytics tools.
• Enable predictive analytics for capacity, throughput, and cost optimization.
• Establish best practices for data quality, model standardization, and system integration across the organization.
