The base pay range for this role is estimated to be $65,000 - $140,000 at the time of posting. Final compensation will be determined by various factors such as work location, education, experience, knowledge, and skills.

Tasks and Qualifications:What You Will Do in This Role:

  • Develop discrete-event simulation models to evaluate the performance of material-handling and automated systems.

  • Support pre-sales and delivery activities by crafting low- to high-fidelity simulation models and conducting performance analysis.

  • Collaborate with engineering, sales, project management, and other partners to define requirements, scope, and timelines.

  • Collect, validate, and analyze data while detailing model assumptions and functional specifications.

  • Configure, complete, and lead simulation scenarios, experiments, and statistical runs.

  • Interpret simulation outputs and clearly communicate results to internal teams and customers.

  • Contribute to customer-facing presentations and technical reviews to support solution recommendations.

  • Deliver assigned tasks on schedule, meeting quality and budget expectations.

  • Explain technical concepts in a clear and accessible way for both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Exercise good judgment when working with customer, confidential, or proprietary information.

  • Support continuous improvement of simulation tools, standards, processes, and methodologies.

What We're Looking For:

  • Solid understanding of discrete-event simulation concepts, methods, and standard processes.

  • Ability to apply statistical and quantitative analysis to simulation problems.

  • Experience with material-handling systems, logistics, or automated solutions (preferred).

  • Proficiency in at least one structured programming language (e.g., Python).

  • Experience with simulation tools such as Plant Simulation (AutoMod experience is a plus).

  • Familiarity with AutoCAD or 3D modeling tools is helpful.

  • Demonstrated ability to learn new tools, technologies, and methods.

  • Strong understanding of simulation modeling principles and approaches.

  • Bachelor's degree or Master's degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.

  • Proven experience in simulation model development, system modeling, or performance analysis.

  • Typical experience range: 2-5+ years, depending on role level and validated capability.
