Overview

BigBear.ai is seeking a Sr. Simulation Consultant to develop simulation-based solutions for manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and service systems (e.g. healthcare) analysis projects at customer sites in North America and other global locations.

 

A successful Sr. Simulation Consultant requires a wide range of technical capabilities in process analysis and improvement methods using traditional industrial engineering tools, with a heavy focus on simulation modeling. The Senior Consultant will also provide mentoring to younger consultants to help them come up to speed on simulation projects and supply chain processes. In this position, the consultant will use discrete event simulation to evaluate various aspects of capacity analysis and other customer processes and make recommendations based on that analysis. The consultant will help specify best practices around object-oriented model development using the new ProModel.ai.

 

This position  fully remote.
