Job description

Stord Labs is the experimental engine for defining how fulfillment scales across the network. As a Test & Analytics Engineer you bring rigorous testing and analytical discipline to that mission, designing experiments, executing them, and analyzing results to inform production systems.

What You’ll Do

• Experiment Design & Governance – Define clear hypotheses, success metrics, and measurement frameworks for all operational experiments conducted within the lab environment; establish disciplined test governance to ensure experiments are structured, comparable, and decision‑ready; rapidly discontinue experiments that do not demonstrate measurable operational improvement to maintain agility and resource efficiency.
• Workflow Testing & Execution – Design, execute, and analyze multi‑pass picking workflows versus traditional single‑pass picking to evaluate productivity, travel distance, and throughput impacts; partner directly with warehouse associates to ensure test conditions reflect real‑world constraints and behaviors.
• Inventory Strategy & Analytics – Evaluate and model advanced inventory strategies, including multi‑SKU binning, dynamic slotting based on order profiles, and predictive replenishment systems; assess co‑mingled inventory strategies, measuring impact across storage density, inventory availability, fulfillment speed, and replenishment efficiency; translate experimental results into actionable recommendations for warehouse configuration and inventory logic.
• Field Integration & Operational Collaboration – Work closely with warehouse associates performing day‑to‑day fulfillment activities to align experimental design with operational reality; incorporate field feedback into test design, execution refinement, and interpretation of results.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a highly quantitative field; Master’s degree preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in advanced analytics, process engineering, testing strategy, or operations analytics within high‑volume logistics or 3PL environments.
• Strong expertise in statistical analysis and A/B testing methodologies, with ability to derive statistically significant and scalable conclusions from operational data.
• Advanced SQL skills for querying and analyzing warehouse and fulfillment performance data.
• Proficiency in data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Programming experience in Python or R for data manipulation, scripting, and statistical analysis.
• Experience conducting time‑and‑motion studies or process mapping in warehouse or manufacturing environments.
• Experience working with digital twin or simulation models to evaluate slotting logic and warehouse workflows at scale.
• Ability to travel domestically 25% annually.

Bonus Points

• Prior experience as a functional lead supporting WMS or WCS workflow configuration and optimization.
• Experience partnering with product and operations leadership to transition experimental learnings into live production pilots and scaled deployments.
