Material Flow Simulation Engineer

-
Design and build simulation models representing planned material flow processes and equipment layouts within the plant.
-
Translate part-level logistics data (packaging, quantities, delivery frequency, handling requirements from PFEP) into accurate simulation inputs.
-
Analyze simulation outputs to identify bottlenecks, capacity constraints, or design risks prior to implementation.
-
Develop simulations for automated material handling systems, including AGVs and AMRs,
-
Prepare and present clear reports summarizing results, issues, and recommendations to Planning Engineers and other requested stakeholders.
-
Collaborate with cross-functional planning and logistics teams (Plant MFE, Study teams) to validate that simulation results align with real-world plant requirements.
