Simulation Engineer

Role Overview

The Simulation Engineer builds simulation models to predict throughput for new program launches, modifications, and improvements to existing programs. They study plant layouts, gather data, and analyze systems to provide cost-effective improvement recommendations.

What You Will Do

Build simulation models, analyze systems, and provide recommendations for throughput improvements. Work with discrete event simulation, AutoCad layouts, probability & statistics, and data visualization.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Must have experience in OEM automotive manufacturing, discrete event simulation, and programming languages like Python, R, C++, Java, or Simtalk. Excellent communication skills and ability to work with large data sets.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing or Industrial)
• Prior OEM automotive manufacturing experience
• Minimum 1+ years of experience in build model using discrete event simulation
• Intermediate knowledge of Siemens Technomatix Plant Simulation
• Basic knowledge in object oriented computer programming
• Proficient in handling large data sets
• Reading and understanding vehicle assembly technical drawings and conveyor system layouts
• Knowledge of the inputs required to build an accurate simulation model
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (specifically: Excel and PowerPoint)
• Ability to build and interpret simulation models for small to large scale simulation
