• Alternatively, a Master's degree or equivalent in the same fields and 2 years of experience in simulation engineering.
• Experience in material flow analysis and data-driven decision making.
• Knowledge of material delivery methods including powered industrial equipment, automated guided vehicles, conveyor systems, and forklift-free methods.
• Project management experience.
• Ability to quantitatively solve ambiguous factory design problems at a systems level.
• Proficiency in 3D discrete event simulation software (e.g., FlexSim) and AutoCAD for layout development.
• Experience with C language and implementing/improving manual and automated handling systems.
• Familiarity with Catia, Solidworks, or Revit.

Responsibilities

• Support global Factory Design projects for Material Flow System Design and Layout.
• Use 3D simulation software to design material handling systems.
• Design and simulate optimal material delivery systems at a system level.
• Develop detailed material flow models for new and existing products.
• Work closely with manufacturing engineering teams to ensure effective part delivery between production steps.
• Detail manual solutions and conceptually model automated solutions for collaboration with automation design teams.
• Develop innovative, cost-effective solutions with the packaging team for part presentation and sustainability.
• Create 3D dynamic simulation models for bulk material handling systems.
• Ensure equipment and layout designs align with the overall material flow plan.
• Own design of layouts for each element of a material handling system.
