Job title: Simulation Engineer
Role Summary:
Develops, validates, and analyzes discrete‑event and 3‑D simulation models of warehouse facilities, integrating automation equipment, conveyor systems, AS/RS, AGVs, and WMS software to identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and support design decisions before implementation.
Expactations:
- Minimum 3–7 years of relevant experience in supply chain simulation, industrial engineering, or discrete event simulation.
- Proficiency in simulation tools such as FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio, ANSYS, COMSOL, or MATLAB/Simulink.
- Strong scripting skills in Python and R, with knowledge of C++ for high‑performance tasks.
- Solid understanding of warehousing automation technologies and WMS systems.
- Ability to use CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD) for layout creation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and build 3‑D simulation models of distribution centers and warehouse logistics.
- Collect and analyze operational data (order profiles, inventory levels, stock audits) to validate models.
- Conduct “what‑if” experiments to identify bottlenecks and optimize staffing, equipment, and layout.
- Integrate physical equipment interactions with warehouse software (e.g., SAP EWM, Manhattan Associates).
- Produce detailed technical reports and visualizations (Tableau, R) for stakeholders.
- Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to embed simulation insights into final designs.
Required Skills:
- Expert in FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio, ANSYS, COMSOL, MATLAB/Simulink.
- Proficiency in Python, C++, MATLAB/R scripting.
- Data analysis and statistical modeling.
- Familiarity with warehousing automation (AGVs, ASRS, conveyors).
- Knowledge of WMS systems.
- Experience with CAD layout tools.
Required Education & Certifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
- Certifications in simulation software (e.g., FlexSim Certified Professional) or supply chain analytics preferred.
