[Remote] Throughput Simulation & Data Owner Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Dice is a leading company in the automotive industry, and they are seeking a Throughput Simulation & Data Owner Engineer. The role involves conducting discrete event simulations of vehicle production systems to assess and improve throughput, while supervising a team of engineers and collaborating with various technical teams to optimize manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

• Conduct discrete events simulations of vehicle production systems including process equipment and material delivery equipment throughout various phases of new vehicle programs to assess and improve throughput
• Use CDraw2 and Plant Simulation software to model both dimensional and non-dimensional scenarios that accurately reflect real-world production processes and equipment
• Ensure consistency, reliability, and accuracy in simulation results
• Interpret the data to propose solutions aimed at improving machine efficiency, automation equipment functionality, and overall operational performance in a cost-effective manner
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, Material Integration, Conveyor Engineers, Plant Floor Systems, Layout Integrators, and technical Subject Matter Experts to appropriately scope and define simulation requirements
• Focus on design optimization, ensuring new and existing manufacturing systems are both efficient and scalable
• Compare throughput simulation models with plant layouts to ensure accuracy
• Identify critical elements for each manufacturing process (e.g., number of pallets, carriers, buffers, automation, material flow/delivery) and select appropriate modeling approaches (e.g., dimensional vs. non-dimensional, 0D, 2D or 3D, animated vs. static)
• Provide clear, detailed results reports and simulations for vehicle programs to Manufacturing Leadership
• This includes experimenting with variables, generating standard reports for standard processes, generating custom reports for non-standard experiments and new processes, and documenting lessons learned
• Support Vehicle Manufacturing Plants in identifying bottlenecks in production and collaborate to develop innovative solutions to overcome those bottlenecks in a cost-efficient way
• Supervise a team of 5 Material Flow Simulation Engineers to balance workload and assignments, monitor project progress and manage simulation requests by coordinating intake, resources, and timelines to ensure successful execution
• Track and meet short and long-term deadlines while keeping organized amidst varying projects and multi-plant assignments
• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert, provide mentoring and training to team members to enhance their skills and knowledge in throughput and material flow simulation modeling
• Collect, maintain, update, and validate the performance data set for GA equipment and material delivery vehicles
• Oversee the migration of legacy simulation models into Plant Simulation software
• This will involve programming and developing customized library objects and software tools to expedite model conversion, creation and updating
• Drive the Digital Twin vision in GM Path to Virtual to an integrated simulation of processes and material flow in a dynamic modeling to enable model validation, experimenting, and connectivity in real time

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, or related field of study
• Five (5) years of experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, Industrial Engineer, or related role
• Five years of experience with Manufacturing engineering in a production environment
• Five years of experience with Discrete event simulation software: C-Draw2 and/or Siemens Plant Simulation
• Five years of experience with Throughput Improvement Process (TIP), methods and tools
• Five years of experience with Application of Theory of Constraints to improve manufacturing processes
• Three years of experience with Advanced programming in Siemens Plant Simulation
• Three years of experience with Working in Vehicle or Global Propulsion Systems (GPS) manufacturing facilities
• Three years of experience with Modeling advanced conveyor logic
• Three years of experience with Interpreting the layouts to find relevant information
• Three years of experience with Materials Flow Process to validate a process and optimize material delivery routes including automated material delivery equipment
• Two years of experience with Collecting, maintaining, updating, and validating the dataset
• One year of experience with AutoCAD software
