Process Simulation Engineer
About The Position
The Process Simulation Engineer designs and maintains quantitative models to forecast business outcomes and stress-test strategic scenarios across GE Vernova Greenfield and Brownfield capital projects. The role builds high-fidelity simulations of supply chains, operational workflows, and market shifts to quantify risk and project the effects of variables such as resource constraints, OEE drift, policy changes, economic fluctuations, and demand changes. Simulation findings are translated into objective, decision-ready recommendations that inform capital allocation, lean transformation, and continuous improvement decisions. The engineer validates and refines models iteratively against production data, supports lean and continuous improvement initiatives with scenario modeling, and develops simulation-backed business cases for investments in headcount, layout, and capacity. The role also works with plant and site teams to gather operational data and communicates results to executives and program leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
- 3–6 years of experience in manufacturing operations, supply chain, or lean/operations excellence roles.
- Working knowledge of lean manufacturing principles, including value stream mapping (VSM), takt time, line balancing, and standard work.
- Hands-on experience with discrete-event simulation (DES) or business/process simulation tools, such as AnyLogic, FlexSim, Arena, or Simio.
- Experience with data cleaning and statistical analysis, such as t-testing, ANOVA, and regression.
- Demonstrated ability to translate operational data into quantitative models and translate model results into business recommendations.
Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting Greenfield site design, Brownfield capacity or efficiency projects, or automation business-case validation.
- Strong data analysis skills for converting production and operational data into model inputs.
- Ability to communicate complex, stochastic simulation results simply and objectively to non-technical and executive stakeholders.
- Comfort working directly with plant and site teams to gather ground-truth process data.
- Intellectual curiosity and a builder's mindset, with enthusiasm for creating new modeling approaches and simulation capabilities in a developing function.
Responsibilities
- Develop high-fidelity simulations of complex business environments, including supply chains, operational workflows, and market or demand shifts, based on detailed understanding of current-state operations.
- Use models to stress-test initiatives, quantify risk, and project the effects of resource constraints, OEE drift, and economic fluctuations.
- Translate stochastic simulation outputs into clear, objective, decision-ready recommendations for executives and program leadership.
- Support the lean transformation roadmap by validating process and capacity scenarios before investment decisions.
- Build business cases for capital investments in headcount, layout, and capacity using simulation-validated data.
- Support Kaizens and continuous improvement projects with scenario modeling, what-if analysis, and efficiency recommendations.
- Validate and refine models iteratively against real production data to maintain accuracy.
- Work directly with plant and site teams to gather ground-truth process data.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
- Access to Health Coach from GE Vernova, a 24/7 nurse-based resource.
- Employee Assistance Program with 24/7 confidential assessment, counseling, and referral services.
- GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan, including a tax-advantaged 401(k) savings opportunity with company matching and company retirement contributions.
- Access to Fidelity resources and financial planning consultants.
- Tuition assistance.
- Adoption assistance.
- Paid parental leave.
- Disability benefits.
- Life insurance.
- 12 paid holidays.
- Permissive time off.
- Discretionary annual bonus eligibility.
