What are Simulation Managers?

Simulation Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of simulation-based training and educational programs. They often work in fields such as healthcare, aviation, or engineering, managing simulation labs, coordinating scenarios, and ensuring equipment and technology are maintained. Their duties include supervising staff, developing curricula, and ensuring that simulation activities meet organizational and accreditation standards. Simulation Managers play a key role in enhancing training outcomes by providing realistic and effective learning experiences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Simulation Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Simulation Manager, you need expertise in simulation-based training, project management, and a relevant degree such as in healthcare, engineering, or education. Familiarity with simulation software (e.g., Laerdal, CAE), audiovisual systems, and potentially certifications like Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) is important. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills help in coordinating teams and delivering effective training experiences. These skills ensure the successful implementation and management of simulation programs that enhance learning outcomes and operational efficiency.

How does a Simulation Manager typically collaborate with cross-functional teams in a project environment?

Simulation Managers often work closely with engineering, design, and project management teams to ensure that simulation models accurately reflect real-world scenarios. They facilitate regular meetings to gather requirements, validate data inputs, and communicate simulation results to stakeholders. Effective collaboration involves translating technical findings into actionable insights for non-technical team members, helping guide decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong communication skills and a proactive approach to ensure alignment across all involved departments.

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
