Software Engineer, Operations Research

CircuitHub builds circuit boards on demand, every order different. Each day thousands of decisions are made: which orders run on which machines, which parts to buy and when, what to promise a customer and what to charge. You'll build the models behind those decisions.

• Plan the factory. Schedule orders, panels and machines across our factories for throughput and on-time delivery, and know days ahead when we will run out of work or capacity.
• Model the Grid. The Grid is our factory-scale robot: dozens of movers, gantries, printers and ovens. Model how work flows through it, 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. Your models don't live in a spreadsheet: they run every day, feed the planning and quoting systems, and get checked against what actually happened.
