Simulation Engineer

Job Title Simulation and Optimization Engineer

Job Description:

Key job responsibilities:

Starting from the Inbound vehicle and volume profile, indicators of the to be processed volume hourly distribution is available. This is the starting point for process centric design. Working backwards from minimum manual interactions with shipments, the Optimization and Simulation Engineer has to create material flow concepts and evaluate them against True North processes, productivity and costs. Through simulation, specific business cases will be modelled by the Simulation Engineer and assessed with internal and external subject matter experts. Through simulation of alternative scenarios and identified areas to improve, concepts will be validated. An in depth report including clear recommendations and actions to meet the desired state will close the loop.

Key LPs for this role:

Expected deliverables:

• Design, develop, and simulate engineering solutions for complex yard and material handling challenges
• Lead and coordinate simulation and process engineering efforts for optimal solutions
• Work with diverse customer groups to solve business problems and provide data solutions
• Analyze simulation results with internal and external Subject Matter Experts
• Develop, document, and update simulation standards
• Create models and run what-if scenarios to drive optimal solutions
• Manage multiple projects while effectively communicating with internal and external partners
• Conduct post-mortem on simulations after implementation of new designs

Required qualifications/certifications:

Simulation and process Engineering experience - experience in logistics/production operations, capability to understand yard and material handling operations and challenges and transform them into scenario analysis.

Software / programs / tools:

Siemens Plant (or other simulation softwards), Autocad (strongly preferred)

Required Years of Experience:

3-4
