On the basis of these studies, develops and implements plans and programs for facility modifications and revisions to operating methods. May assist facilities engineers in the planning and design of facilities.
A primary consideration for this job is the candidate's technical skills in discrete event simulation programming and/or data and decision analysis techniques for the development of decision support tools. The candidate will provide technical applications to solve existing technical problems, and to optimize and automate manual processes by employing operations research and six sigma techniques such as process mapping/modeling, data mining/manipulation, Monte Carlo technique, statistical analysis, sensitivity analysis, Design of Experiments, prediction methods, linear programming, animation/visualization, and optimization heuristics. The candidate must be capable of developing new models and also be able to work with existing complex models, quickly assessing the current code in process locations and subroutines, and write complementary code to integrate with the existing code structure. Persons with Operations Research, Industrial/ Production/ System Engineering background are preferred for their process analysis capability. Other backgrounds would be considered if their simulation or analytical skills are sufficient. These individuals need effective communication and team skills, knowledge in methods of process analysis, and effective use of the MS Office Tool Set; and, they must be able to combine these qualifications and capabilities into team-built decision support tools. Knowledge of object oriented coding methodologies for use in discrete event simulation and/or capability to program, eg, with SQL, VB or C , for data manipulation are desired. Individuals with experience in using ProModel®, FleXsim® or Arena® Software, or similar discrete event packages, are highly preferred. Also highly desirable is previous industrial/manufacturing planning and scheduling experience with the overhaul of complex ship systems. May require the ability to obtain and retain specific security clearances as well as full or partial radiation worker qualifications.
