Senior Optimization Scientist - RT

Senior Optimization Scientist - RT

Creighton, Pennsylvania 15030

The candidate will be responsible for:

Translating industrial use cases into the corresponding mathematical procedures.

Ccoding and deploying the mathematical solution within commercial and/or open source computational tools.

Major Activities / Key Challenges:

Interact with stakeholders across our operations to identify optimization opportunities and requirements. and convert them into formal optimization problem statements, including constraints and multiple objectives.

Iterate with stakeholders to estimate the potential value of optimization, and to improve the formulation of optimization procedures.

Estimate cost and duration of optimization related activities, as well as detailing execution steps and explaining it to stakeholders with varied backgrounds

Perform computational implementation of optimization procedures, using software packages such as (but not limited to) CPLEX, Gurobi, GLPK, R, Python, Matlab, MS-Excel Solver.

Interact with and operate plant databases to obtain data necessary for the implementation of optimization procedures.

Develop web interfaces that allow end users to operate optimization applications from a data input/data output perspective, without requiring knowledge of optimization theory or practice.
