Senior Industrial Analytics Engineer
Pittsburgh, PA - USA
Department:
Job Summary
The Senior Industrial Engineering Analytics Engineer will lead the development and application of advanced analytical models to drive manufacturing efficiency capacity planning and cost optimization. This role is responsible for building and managing integrated IE models that connect capacity labor material flow PFEP and cost (COGS) to enable data-driven decision making across factory and site operations. The ideal candidate will combine strong industrial engineering fundamentals with advanced analytics simulation business case development and AI-driven systems to support large-scale manufacturing environments.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop and own integrated IE models that connect capacity labor material flow PFEP and cost (COGS) to support factory planning and operations
- Build and maintain capacity models (target vs. forecast vs. gated capacity) incorporating cycle time OEE yield losses and bottleneck analysis
- Develop labor models to optimize headcount utilization and labor cost (LOH) across production systems
- Create and evaluate business cases for capital investments including ROI IRR NPV and cost-benefit analysis
- Lead COGS modeling including labor overhead scrap and process-driven cost components Develop and track scrap and yield models quantifying cost impact and identifying improvement opportunities
- Design and maintain OEE models (availability performance quality) to drive operational efficiency and continuous improvement
- Perform buffer and WIP analysis to optimize inline and interline storage reduce bottlenecks and stabilize production flow
- Develop process flow diagrams (PFDs) and value stream maps to represent manufacturing systems and identify inefficiencies
- Integrate PFEP (Plan for Every Part) data into models to optimize material flow storage and line-side delivery strategies
- Support factory layout site planning and material flow decisions through data-driven insights and modeling
- Perform scenario analysis and sensitivity studies to evaluate production strategies and capacity expansion plans
- Utilize and/or develop factory simulation models (e.g. FlexSim AnyLogic 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 Collaborate with MES and Controls teams to integrate shop-floor data with IE models ensuring accurate OEE measurement and enabling real-time scalable dashboards for operational visibility and executive decision-making
AI & Data Systems
- 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 PFEP 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 and intelligent decision-making for capacity throughput and cost optimization
- Establish best practices for data quality model standardization and system integration across the organization
- Bachelors degree in Engineering (Industrial or Mechanical) Operations Research or related fields
- 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 building end-to-end IE models integrating capacity labor cost PFEP and material flow
- Proficiency in capacity modeling OEE analysis cycle time studies and line balancing
- Hands-on experience with PFEP material flow optimization and warehouse integration
- Experience with factory simulation tools (e.g. FlexSim AnyLogic Simio)
- Strong experience in business case development (ROI IRR NPV)
- Knowledge of COGS modeling cost structures and financial impact analysis
- Experience with data analysis tools (Excel advanced modeling Python SQL Power BI/Tableau or similar)
- Familiarity with AI/ML applications in manufacturing analytics (preferred)
- Familiarity with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies
