operations-research jobs in San Diego

Associate Operations/Systems Analyst will assist in analyzing DoD program performance and system trends using modeling and simulation tools. The role involves data collection, system-of-systems modeling using MBSE tools, post-processing data analysis, and preparing technical deliverables and briefings.…See more Candidates should have a BS in Math, Engineering, Physical Science, Operations Research, Data Science, or related field with hands-on experience in M&S tools from academia, industry, government, or military service.

As an Applied AI & Optimization Engineer, you will own optimization algorithms and ML systems for a manufacturing intelligence platform spanning planning, simulation, and AI assistance. You'll design scheduling and resource-allocation solvers, build analytics layers for operational intelligence, and lead LLM integration for both cloud and air-gapped DoD deployments.…See more The role requires 5+ years shipping production optimization or ML systems, deep Python proficiency, hands-on experience with MILP/constraint solvers or OR-Tools, and strong applied math skills in combinatorial optimization and statistical modeling.

As an Applied AI & Optimization Engineer, you will own optimization algorithms and ML systems powering Firestorm's manufacturing intelligence platform, including scheduling, resource allocation, and constraint satisfaction for a planning workbench and simulation engine. You'll design analytics layers for defect trends and operational intelligence, lead integration of open-source and custom LLMs for cloud and edge deployment in DoD contexts, and productionize algorithmic systems alongside full-stack and infrastructure teams.…See more The role requires 5+ years of applied optimization, operations research, or ML systems experience with deep Python proficiency, fluency in optimization frameworks (MILP solvers, OR-Tools), and a proven track record shipping production systems—not prototypes—to real users. You'll partner with manufacturing domain experts to translate operational constraints into model formulations.
