Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Working closely with business stakeholders and project team members to meet project deliverables. The employee will need to work independently as well as in a team to develop and deliver solutions in systems technologies including modeling, simulation, optimization and data analytics to develop technology differentiation for GE products and services.
• Develop quantitative simulation and hybrid models of complex physical-business systems, calculating the key performance metrics [throughput, inventory, operating expense, fulfillment, risk & return, etc.
• Develop integrated discrete-event and agent-based simulations that call other decision support or sub-system models such as optimizers, engineering design tools, handling time constants from sub-second to lifecycle. And develop these integrated simulations to be called by financial value optimizers
• Contribute to development and writing of internal and external proposals.
• Patenting your inventions and develop a record of publication via conferences and peer reviewed journals
• Research and develop tools, frameworks and processes to improve analytical methods, performance, scale and sophistication of algorithms, simulations and systems applications
• Code ancillary support (Java, C++, Python, R, MATLAB) for the integration of simulations/analytics/optimization models into middleware, data bases and decision systems
• Clearly and professionally communicate progress and results of your research with the team, business leaders, customers and technology providers
• Develop, verify, and validate analytics to address customer needs and opportunities.  

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Management Science, Operations Research, Computer Science, or closely related field or MS degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Management Science, Operations Research, Computer Science or closely related field with a minimum of 3 years of professional experience in an industrial setting
• Demonstrated capability to rapidly develop simulations of assets being used in processes, connecting assumption and real-time data, post processing analytics
• Demonstrated capability in developing discrete-event and/or agent-based simulations using AnyLogic, ProModel, Arena, Repast, or any other simulation languages
• Demonstrated capability to configure analytical workflows that orchestrate data and analytical modules such as simulation and optimization applications
• Demonstrated development skills and documentation capability in Java, C++, Python, R, etc.
• Demonstrated systems thinking and applied decision support for operations optimization Demonstrated hands-on analytical software development skills for conceiving solutions and implementing algorithms for decision support system(s)
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals at the Masters level for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
• Because of the specific categories of data handled by GE Research and the structure of our work environment, we are unable to accommodate employment of persons while they are considered nationals of embargoed countries subject to restriction under the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Section 746 et seq. (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Crimea region of Russia). Please note that citizens of embargoed countries who have either “U.S. person” status under U.S. export control laws or subsequent citizenship from a non-embargoed country can be considered.
• Must be willing to work out of an office located in Niskayuna, NY.

Desired Characteristics

• Ability to develop analytical codes in Java, C++, Python, R and commercial tools such as AnyLogic, ProModel and MATLAB. Experience with optimization solvers (e.g. CPLEX, Gurobi) with Java or other object-oriented programming languages
• Experience with solving large-scale optimization for broader use using operation research techniques
• Experience with acquiring, cleaning, and organizing large data using data sciences techniques and multi-core parallel or high-performance computing infrastructures
• Ability to connect learning from past academic environment to industrial research environment. Strong desire to solve complex, real world problems with ability to develop and validate solutions to narrowly defined technical challenges.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and effective interpersonal skills
• Ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic, fast paced, outcome-focused industrial research environment

The base pay range for this position is 80,000 - 150,000 USD Annually.
