Responsibilities
Build and productionize ML models & AI agents that power inbound network design, including cost, transit-time prediction, mode/route selection, and consolidation strategies
Design and extend our Digital Twin, integrating inbound network constraints to mirror real-world designs and enable near real-time decision support
Build and run large-scale “what-if” simulations to evaluate new inbound strategies quantifying the impact on cost, service levels, and DC operations
Perform sensitivity and stress testing on existing inbound network designs to identify bottlenecks, failure modes, and resiliency gaps, and translate findings into concrete recommendations for improvements
Own the ML lifecycle for inbound use cases: data pipelines, feature engineering, model evaluation, AB-testing, monitoring, and continuous retraining based on realized performance versus modeled expectations
Collaborate closely with Material Planning, Logistics, Finance, and Warehouse Operations to turn analytical outputs into executable inbound pilots and long-term standards, tracking realized performance vs. modeled expectations
Build decision-support tools, APIs, and UIs that expose inbound simulations, recommendations, and KPIs directly in our internal Digital Twin, enabling self-serve analysis for cross-functional partners
Translate complex quantitative results into clear narratives and visualizations, enabling leadership to make informed tradeoffs between cost, service, and operational complexity in the inbound network
