    Industrial Engineering Analytics Engineer (Manufacturing Systems
    Modeling)
    Location: Pittsburg, PA
    Onsite/ Hybrid / Remote: Onsite
    Role Overview
    The 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 industrialengineering fundamentals with advanced analytics, simulation, business case development, and AI-driven systems to support large-scale manufacturing environments.
    Key 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
    Basic Qualifications
    Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field 7+ years of experience in industrial engineering analytics, manufacturing modeling, or operations analysis
