Description of the Simulation Engineer:

The Simulation Discrete Event Engineer estimates process capability and improves its efficiency by utilizing discrete event simulations techniques in conjunction with reliability and downtime models of tooling/equipment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities of the Simulation Engineer:

• Meet with project engineers and managers to understand customer requirements and get process description and data.
• Develop tooling reliability models to estimate tooling downtime for use in the analysis, and discrete event process models to simulate the process flow and the stochastic nature of equipment downtime.
• Run simulation models and use statistical sampling techniques to estimate process throughput.
• Employ DOE techniques or iterative simulations to identify significant factors and bottlenecks that influence process performance.
• Present the study to management and customers and suggest means to improve efficiency and/or achieve process targets.
• Ensure the process analysis is communicated in an effective manner so that its recommendations are accounted in the simultaneous engineering of the process.
• Employ the feedback received for continuous refinement of the process model as part of simultaneous engineering.
• Be willing for occasional short/extended travel to customer sites.
• Understand and follow safety & environmental regulations and identify safety/environmental concerns in the customer facilities as well as in the customer’s facilities. Adhere to the Quality System and participate in continuous improvement.
• Regular and predictable attendance is an essential function of this job.

Education Requirements of the Simulation Engineer:

Bachelor's degree (B. S.) from a four-year college or university required; or two to four years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
