Senior Virtual Commissioning Engineer

EDAG Mexico • Troy, MI

9d

About The Position

EDAG connects people and the future, offering a familiar atmosphere with the potential of a global world-class development company. This role involves designing and developing virtual commissioning and simulation models for automated production equipment and manufacturing processes in automotive and general-industry environments. The engineer will create digital models to support the virtual validation of manufacturing systems, controls logic, and process behavior, collaborating closely with various engineering teams. Responsibilities include supporting validation and testing, developing engineering utilities, and tracking/documenting tasks. The role also involves delivering model-creation and digital-services engagements for fe.screen-sim customers, providing first-level customer support and training, and becoming a resident expert in fe.screen-sim. Additionally, the engineer will deliver technical workshops and demos, support the technical sales cycle, and contribute to building the US pipeline of new accounts.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience with virtual commissioning and simulation platforms used in industrial automation (e.g., Process Simulate / PlantSimulation, DELMIA, Visual Components, Emulate3D, ISG-virtuos, or comparable).
• Knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes, production equipment, and digital engineering methods.
• Experience improving engineering workflows, automation libraries, or toolchains for model-based development.
• Several years of relevant experience in virtual commissioning, digital twin development, or industrial simulation.
• English (C1-C2)

Nice To Haves

• Existing network in US automotive, supplier, logistics, automation, or mechanical-engineering manufacturing.
• Prior customer-facing, pre-sales, or training experience a plus.
• Strong expertise in at least one of the following: CAD design, PLC programming, robot programming, or electrical design.
• Hands-on experience with machine or plant software and commissioning activities (preferred).
• Programming experience in higher-level languages (e.g., C#) is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop virtual commissioning and simulation models for automated production equipment and manufacturing processes in automotive and general-industry environments.
• Create digital models independently to support the virtual validation of manufacturing systems, controls logic, and process behavior.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, and software engineering teams to ensure the virtual model accurately reflects the physical system and supports an efficient engineering workflow.
• Support validation and testing activities using digital models to identify issues early and improve commissioning readiness.
• Develop engineering utilities, automation workflows, and model-generation tools to improve efficiency and standardization.
• Track assigned tasks, document findings, and communicate results and recommendations to project stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Deliver model-creation and digital-services engagements for fe.screen-sim customers.
• Help stand up and run first-level customer support and training.
• Become the resident fe.screen-sim expert: integration, configuration, troubleshooting, and best practices.
• Deliver technical workshops and demos.
• Support the technical sales cycle as the credible engineering voice: solution scoping, ROI framing for virtual commissioning, and answering the hard technical questions.
• Contribute to building the US pipeline of net-new accounts across automotive and suppliers, logistics, automation, and mechanical engineering.
