Lead Supply Chain Simulation Engineer
About The Position
Workbench is FIQ's warehouse-design platform: it lets a solutions engineer draw a warehouse the way an architect draws a building. You will design, build and own Workbench’s warehouse simulation engine, wherein a warehouse design is simulated and evaluated against multiple operational scenarios. Reporting directly to the Chief Scientist, you will create simulation models that capture warehouse operations dynamics, design and build the engine that executes them, and lead its integration into our main product. This is a unique opportunity to build something from scratch, assemble a team, and have a direct influence on product features and technical roadmap. You will work closely with our Chief Scientist, domain experts, and developers to build a capability that does not exit. It is a genuine zero-to-one build, and you will own the simulation vertical as it grows.
Requirements
- Experience and understanding of warehouse or supply chain operations.
- Hands-on experience in designing and building simulation models, with a good understanding of different simulation paradigms and when to use (or not to use) them.
- Comfort in a zero-to-one, high-ambiguity environment, and the thinking to move forward when the problem is not yet defined.
- Strong engineering ability to build the models and the tooling around them, with AI leaned on for the execution.
- A Master's or PhD in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, or a related field, or a Bachelor's with equivalent hands-on simulation experience.
- Applicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada.
Nice To Haves
- Warehouse automation, robotics, or material-handling exposure.
- Digital-twin work, or simulation embedded in a product rather than run as a one-off study.
- Experience owning a technical vertical or setting standards on a small team.
Responsibilities
- Translate warehouse operational processes into mathematical simulation models at various levels of granularity
- Identify the right simulation paradigm (or combination thereof) for the problem at hand and the best tools to solve it.
- Benchmark the performance of the simulation engine across various types of warehouse operations
- Drive the discussion around simulation as a product by prioritizing features, establishing a technical and product roadmap, and overseeing development and integration efforts.
- Assemble and lead the team that will help build and maintain the simulation engine
- Lean on AI tools for execution and spend your judgment on the ambiguous parts.
Benefits
- Comprehensive extended health and dental coverage for you and your family
- Employee wellness programs where applicable
- Competitive paid time off, sick leave, and public holidays
- Flexible leave policies that respect local labour standards
- CPP contributions and a group retirement savings plan with employer contributions
- Employee stock options (ESOP), where applicable
- Dedicated learning and development budget, with support for skills, leadership, and career progression
- Remote and hybrid work options, flexible hours aligned to role and client needs
- Equipment and workstation allowances, internet and business travel reimbursements, team events and offsites
