About the role

  • Own the plant Digital Twin in AutoCAD + FlexSim
  • Establish governed model structure (assets, routings, constraints, assumptions, versioning)
  • Keep the model aligned to real-world conditions (including high-mix/low volume realities)
  • Update flows/routings/process steps end-to-end
  • Maintain capacity inputs: cycle times, changeovers, uptime/downtime
  • Maintain shift/labor patterns, buffers/WIP rules, operating constraints
  • Model internal logistics: warehouse/supermarkets, tugger/forklifts routes, replenishment logic
  • Validate and refresh inputs with stakeholders using MED and SAP data
  • Run studies for bottlenecks, constraint behavior, line balancing, rate changes
  • Evaluate buffer sizing/WIP strategies, material flow improvements
  • Assess staffing concepts and operating policies
  • Support investment/expansion scenarios (new lines, automation, warehouse, redesign)
  • Use DOE/parameter sweeps, heuristic optimization, structured experimentation
  • Identify new Digital Twin use cases with Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, CI/Lean
  • Translate operational problems into simulation questions with defined inputs/outputs
  • Build repeatable templates for recurring analyses
  • Provide recommendations supporting capex justification, investment prioritization, through output improvements, and robustness/sensitivity analysis
  • Communicate results to leadership with clear assumptions, scenarios, findings, and recommendations
  • Validate alternative layouts/logistics concepts/capacity changes through simulation
  • Collaborate with engineering while protecting model integrity and ownership
  • Partner with the Global Digital Twin Program Lead
  • Package reusable standards: templates, modeling conventions, scenario libraries

Requirements

  • Bachelors degree in Engineering preferred
  • 3 to 5 years of manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, simulation engineering, or related roles in a manufacturing environment
  • Hands-on building models in FlexSim (or comparable DES tool) and using AutoCAD for industrial/manufacturing layouts.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing systems (flows, constraints, variability, bottlenecks)
  • Ability to create models from ambiguous inputs and validate with stakeholders
  • Strong analytical and communication skills; explain assumptions/results to non-simulations audiences
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Professional development opportunities
