Industrial engineering - and technology

Tagup Job OpportunityTagup is a defense technology company founded at MIT that is delivering logistics decision advantage with next-generation AI. The Marine Corps moves people, parts, and equipment around the world on timelines that don't forgive guesswork. We build the AI systems that help them do it — reinforcement learning–based planning and optimization software deployed inside real military logistics operations, from Marine Logistics Groups to Blount Island Command.This role sits at the seam between our software and the operations it runs on. You'll be the person who turns messy, real-world logistics and maintenance data into the signal that drives both better day-to-day decisions for our customers and a smarter product for everyone who comes after them. If you've ever wanted your analytical work to actually change how something operates — not just live in a dashboard nobody opens — this is that job.ResponsibilitiesEmbed with military logistics, supply and maintenance operations to understand how decisions get made today — and where AI, automation, and better instrumentation can change the math.Turn operational data (logistics, maintenance, readiness, inventory) into the analyses, dashboards, and models that customer leadership actually uses to run their organizations.Build the data pipelines, ETL, and integrations that connect customer ERP, MES, CMMS, and logistics systems to our platform — and keep them running in restricted environments.Partner with our RL and platform engineers to translate operational reality into product: what the optimizer needs to know, what "good" looks like, and where our models are leaving value on the table.Desired SkillsA degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations Research, or a closely related quantitative field.2+ years working on real operational problems — manufacturing, logistics, maintenance, supply chain, or similar — not just coursework or pure analytics.Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, the usual suspects) and SQL chops. Experience building dashboards people actually use (Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, or similar).US citizenship and the willingness to work toward a security clearance. Bonus PointsPrior work in defense, government, or other regulated environments — or military service yourself.Cloud (AWS or Azure), APIs, ETL, and systems integration experience.Lean / Six Sigma fluency from somewhere it actually mattered.What Success Looks Like in Year OneCustomer decisions that used to run on spreadsheets and tribal knowledge are running on data you helped instrument.The product team is shipping features that came directly from patterns you spotted on the ground.When senior leadership at a customer command wants to know how their logistics operation is really performing, the answer comes from a system you helped build.As a rapidly expanding technology company, we extend part-ownership to all team members through an Employee Stock Option Plan. Additionally, we offer comprehensive health insurance benefits, access to the company's 401K plan, and foster a team-oriented work environment with regular company outings!Our software runs in front of people whose job is to keep the fleet moving — the consequences of getting it right are tangible. You'll have visibility from the engineering trenches to the executive team, and your work will compound. Competitive comp, meaningful equity, and the kind of professional growth that comes from being trusted with big things early.Tagup is an equal opportunity employer and individuals seeking employment with us are considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.
