A FlexSim job typically involves using FlexSim, a 3D simulation software, to model, analyze, and optimize systems in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Professionals in this role create virtual models of processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and identify potential bottlenecks. They often work with simulation, data analysis, coding, and optimization techniques. Employers may seek FlexSim specialists with engineering, operations research, or data analytics backgrounds.
FlexSim professionals often work on projects involving the simulation and analysis of manufacturing processes, supply chain networks, healthcare systems, or logistics operations to optimize performance and resource utilization. These roles are highly collaborative, as you frequently interact with engineers, managers, IT specialists, and sometimes clients to gather data, validate models, and implement solutions. You may also participate in team meetings to review simulation results and develop recommendations. This collaborative environment not only enhances your technical expertise but also builds valuable teamwork and communication skills, which are vital for career advancement in simulation engineering.
To thrive as a FlexSim Simulation Engineer or Specialist, you need a solid background in industrial engineering, systems modeling, or operations research, typically supported by a relevant degree. Proficiency with the FlexSim simulation software, along with knowledge of programming languages such as C++ or Python, and familiarity with data analysis tools are crucial. Strong problem-solving, communication, and project management skills help you collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present findings to stakeholders. These skills are essential for accurately modeling complex processes, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing improvements that drive operational efficiency.

Role Summary
Company Factory Design & Simulation team is seeking a contract Simulation Engineer (DES) to support early manufacturing engineering and throughput architecture for the R2 ramp in Normal.
This role focuses on building and analyzing discrete event simulation models to guide factory and line design decisions before RFQ and detailed design.
You will work closely with Body, GA, Paint, Battery, Drive Unit, and Material Flow teams to validate capacity, size buffers, and identify bottlenecks impacting R2 launch and ramp in Normal.
Build discrete event simulation models (FlexSim preferred) for manufacturing and material flow use cases in Normal (e.g., inter‑shop buffers, ASRS sizing, AGV flows, shop overspeed trade‑offs).
Translate high‑level factory requirements (demand, shift pattern, product mix, FPY, MTBF/MTTR) into simulation‑ready input assumptions and scenarios.
Run scenario and sensitivity studies (Experimenter) to:
Confirm line and shop net JPH vs. targets.
Quantify overspeed, OPR/TEE, and buffer requirements.
Evaluate jobs‑per‑shift (JPS) regularity and risk envelopes.
Summarize results in clear, decision‑focused reports and slide content for ME and program leadership (e.g., options with trade‑offs on throughput, risk, and space).
Collaborate with layout, material flow, and industrial engineering to align DES assumptions with real PORs and constraints.
Follow Company DES standards and libraries for model structure, naming, documentation, and handoff.
3+ years experience in automotive manufacturing engineering (e.g., body, paint, GA, battery, drive unit, or material flow) with direct ownership of discrete event simulation projects.
Expert‑level proficiency with Autodesk FlexSim
Demonstrated experience modeling:
Multi‑line assembly systems with buffers and rework.
Stochastic behavior (failures, repairs, variability in process times).
Throughput / capacity and bottleneck analysis.
Solid understanding of manufacturing KPIs (JPH, JPS, OEE/TEE, MTBF/MTTR, WIP, buffer sizing).
Ability to clean and structure input data, define scenarios, and explain model limitations and assumptions.
Strong communication skills: can condense complex simulation logic into concise recommendations for non‑simulation stakeholders.
Familiarity with FlexScript / C++ / Python for custom logic and tooling in DES.
Prior work on greenfield factory design or major capacity upgrades (launch and ramp).
