You will design, build and own Workbench’s warehouse simulation engine, wherein a warehouse design is simulated and evaluated against multiple operational scenarios. Reporting directly to the Chief Scientist, you will create simulation models that capture warehouse operations dynamics, design and build the engine that executes them, and lead its integration into our main product.\nThis is a unique opportunity to build something from scratch, assemble a team, and have a direct influence on product features and technical roadmap. You will work closely with our Chief Scientist, domain experts, and developers to build a capability that does not exit. It is a genuine zero-to-one build, and you will own the simulation vertical as it grows.\nWhat You'll Do\n\nTranslate warehouse operational processes into mathematical simulation models at various levels of granularity\nIdentify the right simulation paradigm (or combination thereof) for the problem at hand and the best tools to solve it. \nBenchmark the performance of the simulation engine across various types of warehouse operations\nDrive the discussion around simulation as a product by prioritizing features, establishing a technical and product roadmap, and overseeing development and integration efforts.\nAssemble and lead the team that will help build and maintain the simulation engine \nLean on AI tools for execution and spend your judgment on the ambiguous parts. \nThe Honest Version of the Hard Parts\nThis is genuinely zero-to-one. There is no reference tool to copy and no clean spec to build from, so the hardest part is the ambiguity. You will often start without a clear definition of what to build and will have to think your way through it. \nYour models will shape how real warehouses get designed. All models have limitations, so it is important to be honest about what they capture and what they don’t.\nYou are the lead. You carry the open questions and the vertical, not just the modeling, and you will switch context fast as the product takes shape.\nWhere This Goes\nThink chessboard, not ladder. You will own and grow the simulation vertical, and there is real room to move into deeper research alongside the Chief Scientist and into a broader product and platform role. Tell us what you want to build and we will help you get there.\nHow We'll Interview You\n Intro conversation: a short call to swap context and make sure the basics line up.\nConversation with the Chief Scientist: a first call on how you think. \nTechnical: a scripted, comparable working session on a real simulation problem. How you frame it, model it, handle missing information, and defend it. \nFinal: discussion with the Workbench team.\nWhat You Need to Have\n7-12+ years, capable of architecting simulation solutions, not just operating simulation tools.\nExperience and understanding of warehouse operations, material handling, robotics, conveyors, AMRs, and automation.\nStrong experience with discrete-event simulation (DES), AnyLogic, FlexSim, Siemens Plant Simulation, or similar.\nExperience with Python, simulation frameworks (SimPy, etc.).\nHands-on experience in designing and building simulation models, with a good understanding of different simulation paradigms and when to use (or not to use) them.\nComfort in a zero-to-one, high-ambiguity environment, and the thinking to move forward when the problem is not yet defined.\nExperience with NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, OpenUSD, CAD-to-3D workflows.\nStrong engineering ability to build the models and the tooling around them, with AI leaned on for the execution.\nA Master's or PhD in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, or a related field, or a Bachelor's with equivalent hands-on simulation experience.\nNice to have: Warehouse automation, robotics, or material-handling exposure.\nNice to have: Experience owning a technical vertical or setting standards on a small team.\nWhy You Will Love Working Here\nYou will build the simulation practice, not inherit someone else's. This means real ownership on a team small enough that your judgment sets the standard, working directly with the Chief Scientist to build something that does not exist yet. You will be part of a team with domain experts and developers who support each other in achieving our goals. We move fast, we automate the busywork, and we back people who take initiative.\nHealth and Wellness\nComprehensive extended health and dental coverage for you and your family\nEmployee wellness programs where applicable\nTime Off\nCompetitive paid time off, sick leave, and public holidays\nFlexible leave policies that respect local labour standards\nRetirement and Financial Security\nCPP contributions and a group retirement savings plan with employer contributions\nEmployee stock options (ESOP), where applicable\nProfessional Growth\nDedicated learning and development budget, with support for skills, leadership, and career progression\nFlexible Work\nRemote and hybrid work options, flexible hours aligned to role and client needs\nAdditional Perks\nEquipment and workstation allowances, internet and business travel reimbursements, team events and offsites\nWork Authorization\nApplicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada.\nUse of Artificial Intelligence in Hiring:\nFIQ uses artificial intelligence to assist in the screening, assessment, and shortlisting of applications for this position, including features within our applicant tracking system.
