Responsibilities

• Design and prototype new data structures to accelerate complex Bill of Materials (BOM) retrieval—optimizing lookups for multi‑level, variant‑rich assemblies used by engineering and supply chain teams.
• Support algorithm development for dynamic scheduling by researching and implementing approaches such as graph-based traversal, heuristic optimization, and priority/reward-based allocation engines.
• Experiment with computational techniques (e.g., DAG representations, sparse index maps, GNN-inspired node relationships) to improve performance of constraint-heavy manufacturing workflows.
• Collaborate with data engineers, optimization specialists, and product teams to validate algorithm outputs against real-world manufacturing scenarios such as material shortages, tool availability, and multi-step dependencies.
