Job description

Job Summary

As a Simulation Engineer at Design Systems, Inc., you will be responsible for developing, verifying, and validating simulation models to evaluate manufacturing systems, material flow, transportation strategies, and production line efficiency. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented problem solver with experience in discrete event simulation and a solid understanding of automotive or manufacturing environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, verify, and validate simulation models using dynamic simulation tools (preferably Siemens Plant Simulation)

  • Model and analyze production lines, material handling systems, and transportation networks

  • Conduct simulation studies to evaluate:

    • Throughput, bottlenecks, and downtime

    • Delivery routes and operator efficiency

    • Vehicle, pallet, and carrier resource utilization

    • Storage capacity and sensitivity analysis

  • Create and maintain simulation asset libraries (AGVs, conveyors, cranes, ASRS, etc.)

  • Develop and present simulation results and recommendations via reports and presentations

  • Support cross-functional teams during project planning and execution phases

  • Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and clients to align simulation outcomes with project goals

  • Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge transfer across the simulation team

Qualifications & Skills

Required:

  • Minimum of 3+ years' experience in simulation model development (preferably with Plant Simulation from Siemens)

  • Solid understanding of discrete event simulation and material flow modeling

  • Experience with manufacturing engineering and production systems

  • Familiarity with various material handling and transportation systems (AGVs, fork trucks, tuggers, conveyors, etc.)

  • Programming experience (Plant Simulation SimTalk preferred)

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); VBA experience a plus

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment

  • Willingness to travel as required

Preferred:

  • Experience developing simulations for power & free, skid, and monorail conveyor systems

  • Exposure to crane systems, ASRS, and automated storage solutions

  • Prior experience with bottleneck analysis, resource optimization, and throughput studies

  • Leadership or mentoring experience in a technical or project environment

Why Join Design Systems, Inc.?

  • Work on innovative and high-impact projects within the automotive and manufacturing sectors

  • Be part of a collaborative and experienced engineering team

  • Opportunities for professional growth and development

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive travel support
