What is a work from home process simulation engineer?

A Work From Home Process Simulation Engineer designs, develops, and analyzes process simulations to optimize manufacturing or operational workflows, all while working remotely. They use software tools to model processes, identify inefficiencies, and recommend improvements. This role requires expertise in engineering principles, simulation software, and data analysis. Effective communication is crucial since collaboration with teams happens virtually.

What does a work from home process simulation engineer do?

As a Work From Home Process Simulation Engineer, your days will typically involve analyzing existing processes, building and running computer-based simulations, and evaluating data to recommend improvements. You’ll meet regularly with project managers, engineers, and stakeholders via virtual meetings to discuss progress and align on objectives. Much of your time will be spent using specialized simulation software, documenting your findings, and preparing detailed reports or presentations. Collaboration is key, so you'll also provide technical support to team members and sometimes train colleagues in simulation methods and tools.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a work from home process simulation engineer?

To thrive as a Work From Home Process Simulation Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering, process modeling, analytical thinking, and commonly a degree in mechanical, industrial, or chemical engineering. Proficiency with simulation software such as Arena, Simul8, MATLAB, or AutoCAD, along with knowledge of data analysis tools and relevant certifications like Six Sigma or Lean, is often required. Strong communication, time management, self-motivation, and problem-solving skills are vital for effective remote collaboration and project delivery.

Job description

Lead Simulation Engineer
Department: Software Engineering
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Hawthorne, California
Reporting To: Denise Brown
Compensation: $142,000 - $235,000 / year
Description
Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on - rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
The lead simulation engineer will be responsible for directing the technical work of the simulation team, including development of the simulation infrastructure, vehicle models, and integration of the simulation with vehicle software and automated integrated test tools. The lead simulation engineer will support long-term strategic planning of simulation scope and capabilities with the larger software team and manage the short term tactical priorities. This position is a technical leadership position with an expectation that the lead will also be doing hands on work as part of the simulation team, especially in the realm of integration with other tools and simulation performance improvements.
What you'll do:
  • Work with GNC and software team stakeholders to define the architecture of Astrolab's GNC and flight software (FSW) verification simulation environment
  • Work with GNC and software team stakeholders to determine simulation milestones and development priorities based on stakeholder needs and vehicle schedule
  • Manage day to day simulation development to ensure the defined architecture is delivered on time to stakeholders for each agreed-upon milestone, including defining sprint priorities, assigning tasks to developers, and ensuring tasks are completed on schedule
  • Develop simulation verification and validation (V&V) plan and execute the plan to ensure that the simulation has appropriate levels of V&V for each milestone delivery to stakeholders
  • Support development of environment, vehicle, and hardware models to ensure the right elements are modeled to the proper level of fidelity
  • Provide significant technical support for integrating the simulation with the GNC prototype environment, vehicle FSW running in software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop modes, and with FSW test infrastructure

What you'll bring:
Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Experience architecting and developing real-time or accelerated (faster-than-real-time) simulations of complex systems, such as spacecraft, aircraft, automobiles, robotic systems, or similar platforms. Experience must include development of vehicle and/or subsystem models, operating environment models, and simulation infrastructure
  • Experience leading simulation development efforts and integrating simulation environments with vehicle software, embedded software, or flight software running in software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), or similar testing environments

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with simulation verification and validation (V&V), Monte Carlo or statistical performance analysis, and performance optimization for real-time or accelerated simulation execution
  • Experience developing vehicle dynamics models, including rigid-body and/or flexible-body dynamics, suspension systems, terramechanics, and numerical integration techniques
  • Experience developing simulations for extraterrestrial rovers or planetary surface vehicles, including the use of relevant planetary environment models such as lunar gravity, Mars gravity, atmospheric, or terrain models
  • Experience modeling sensors, actuators, and associated error sources
  • Experience implementing fault-injection capabilities in simulation environments
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python software development
  • Experience planning work scope, establishing technical milestones, and guiding simulation teams to successful delivery

Benefits and Perks
  • Join a team of best-in-class engineers building the foundation of planetary surface exploration
  • Equity ownership in the company
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and mental health support
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Flexible PTO and parental leave
  • Home office set up reimbursement
  • Weekly lunch stipend, plus complimentary snacks and beverages on-site
  • Once a month social hour on-site with food and drinks
