Process Simulation Engineer

GE Vernova•Schenectady, NY

About The Position

The Process Simulation Engineer designs and maintains quantitative models to forecast business outcomes and stress-test strategic scenarios across GE Vernova’s 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, policy changes, and demand fluctuations. Simulation outputs are translated into clear, objective recommendations that inform capital allocation and lean and continuous improvement decisions. The engineer supports the lean transformation roadmap by validating process and capacity scenarios ahead of investment decisions, develops simulation-grounded business cases for capital investment, and supports Kaizens and continuous improvement projects with scenario modeling and what-if analysis. Models are refined iteratively against real production data to maintain accuracy over time.

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 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, including t-tests, ANOVA, and regression.
Ability to translate operational data into quantitative models and turn 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 or site teams to gather ground-truth process data.
Intellectual curiosity and a builder’s mindset, with enthusiasm for creating modeling approaches and simulation capabilities in a developing function.

Responsibilities

Develop high-fidelity simulations of business environments, including supply chains, operational workflows, and market or demand shifts, grounded in detailed knowledge of current-state operations.
Use models to stress-test initiatives, quantify risk, and project the impact of variables such as 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 investment, including headcount, layout, and capacity, using simulation-validated data.
Support Kaizens and continuous improvement projects through scenario modeling, what-if analysis, and efficiency recommendations.
Validate and iteratively refine models against real production data to maintain accuracy over time.
