They are seeking a skilled Manufacturing Simulation Engineer responsible for building discrete event simulation models, analyzing manufacturing throughput, and supporting early factory and line design decisions.
Responsibilities
- Build discrete event simulation models for manufacturing and material flow use cases
- Translate factory requirements into simulation-ready assumptions, inputs, and scenarios
- Run scenario and sensitivity studies to validate throughput, capacity, and bottlenecks
- Quantify overspeed, OPR/TEE, buffer sizing, and jobs-per-shift risk factors
- Summarize simulation results into clear reports and slide content for engineering leadership
- Collaborate with layout, material flow, and industrial engineering teams to align model assumptions
- Follow established DES standards for model structure, documentation, naming, and handoff
Skills
- 3+ years of automotive manufacturing engineering experience
- Direct ownership of discrete event simulation projects
- Expert-level Autodesk FlexSim experience
- Experience modeling multi-line assembly systems, buffers, and rework
- Experience modeling stochastic behavior including failures, repairs, and process-time variability
- Throughput, capacity, bottleneck analysis, WIP, JPH, JPS, OEE/TEE, MTBF/MTTR, and buffer sizing experience
- Experience cleaning and structuring input data for simulation scenarios
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field
- FlexScript, C++, or Python experience for custom DES logic and tooling
- Greenfield factory design experience
- Major capacity upgrade, launch, or ramp experience
- Automotive body, paint, general assembly, battery, drive unit, or material flow experience
- Experience with ASRS sizing, AGV flows, inter-shop buffers, or shop overspeed trade-offs
Benefits
- We offer industry-leading benefits options
