Job description
Builds optimisation, simulation and forecasting models that drive factory planning, pricing, quoting and parts purchasing for CircuitHub's robotic electronics manufacturing platform. The role puts those models into daily production use.

What you'll do
- Plan the factory: schedule orders, panels and machines across factories for throughput and on-time delivery, and know days ahead when we will run out of work or capacity
- Model the Grid: model how work flows through the factory-scale robot (movers, gantries, printers and ovens), find the bottlenecks, and tell us what the next machine or change is worth
- Price and promise: estimate what an order really costs in labour, machine time and parts, and help set prices and lead times that win work and make money
- Buy smarter: decide what parts and consumables to stock, when to order them, and how much risk of a shortage to accept
- Put it into production: models run every day, feed the planning and quoting systems, and get checked against what actually happened
What we're looking for
- A quantitative background in operations research, applied maths, statistics, quantitative finance, economics or a similar field, and a record of models that changed real decisions
- Optimisation: linear and integer programming, constraint programming, or heuristics, and judgement about when a simple rule beats a solver
- Simulation and forecasting: building a model of a messy system, calibrating it to data and saying how far to trust it
- Strong Python and SQL. You write code other people can run and rely on
- You use coding agents to move faster and take full ownership of what they produce
- Curiosity about how things are physically made. You'll spend time in our factories in the US and UK
Nice to have
- Manufacturing experience is welcome but not required
- Experience pricing risk, optimising a portfolio or forecasting demand
Benefits
- Equity
