Seasonal Biomedical Design Engineer Jobs in Renton, WA

The Worldwide Design Engineering (WWDE) organization delivers innovative, effective and efficient engineering solutions that continually improve our customers' experience. WWDE optimizes designs throughout the entire Amazon value chain providing overall fulfillment solutions from order receipt to last mile delivery.
We are seeking a Simulation Scientist to assist in designing and optimizing the fulfillment network concepts and process improvement solutions using discrete event simulations for our World Wide Design Engineering Team.
Successful candidates will be technical expert and natural self-starter who have the drive to apply simulation and optimization tools to solve complex flow and buffer challenges during the development of next generation fulfillment solutions. The Simulation Scientist is expected to deep dive into complex problems and drive relentlessly towards innovative solutions working with cross functional teams. Be comfortable interfacing and influencing various functional teams and individuals at all levels of the organization in order to be successful. Lead strategic modelling and simulation projects related to drive process design decisions.
Key job responsibilities
- You influence the scientific strategy across multiple teams in your business area. You support go/no-go decisions, build consensus, and assist leaders in making trade-offs. You proactively clarify ambiguous problems, scientific deficiencies, and where your team's solutions may bottleneck innovation for other teams.
- Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of the simulation data science solutions to perform system of systems discrete event simulations for significantly complex operational processes that have a long-term impact on a product, business, or function using FlexSim, Demo 3D, AnyLogic or any other Discrete Event Simulation (DES) software packages
- Lead strategic modeling and simulation research projects to drive process design decisions
- Be an exemplary practitioner in simulation science discipline to establish best practices and simplify problems to develop discrete event simulations faster with higher standards
- Identify and tackle intrinsically hard process flow simulation problems (e.g., highly complex, ambiguous, undefined, with less existing structure, or having significant business risk or potential for significant impact
- Deliver artifacts that set the standard in the organization for excellence, from process flow control algorithm design to validation to implementations to technical documents using simulations
- Be a pragmatic problem solver by applying judgment and simulation experience to balance cross-organization trade-offs between competing interests and effectively influence, negotiate, and communicate with internal and external business partners, contractors and vendors for multiple simulation projects
- Provide simulation data and measurements that influence the business strategy of an organization. Write effective white papers and artifacts while documenting your approach, simulation outcomes, recommendations, and arguments
- Lead and actively participate in reviews of simulation research science solutions. You bring clarity to complexity, probe assumptions, illuminate pitfalls, and foster shared understanding within simulation data science discipline
- Pay a significant role in the career development of others, actively mentoring and educating the larger simulation data science community on trends, technologies, and best practices
- Use advanced statistical /simulation tools and develop codes (python or another object oriented language) for data analysis , simulation, and developing modeling algorithms
- Lead and coordinate simulation efforts between internal teams and outside vendors to develop optimal solutions for the network, including equipment specification, material flow control logic, process design, and site layout
- Deliver results according to project schedules and quality
A day in the life
The dat-to-day activities include challenging and problem solving scenario with fun filled environment working with talented and friendly team members. The internal stakeholders are IDEAS team members, WWDE design vertical and Global robotics team members. The team solve problems related to critical Capital decision making related to Material handling equipment and technology design solutions.
