Qualifications

• Pursuing degree in CS/ISE/OR/DS or similar.

• Prototype inventory and network optimization — multi-site / multi-warehouse stock optimization, warehouse slotting, and staffing/labour planning.
• Build first-pass forecasting models for material demand (to feed MRP planning parameters) and for the reliability of supplier commitments.
• Ship these inside the tools planners already use, not as notebooks on a shelf — and reach for the simplest method that works.
• Partner directly with planners, buyers, and ops managers to scope small MVPs, deploy frequently, and iterate on real feedback.
