DES Engineer (Discrete Event Simulation)

​POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Responsible for the development and delivery of the Discrete Event Simulation model and documentation, modelling the process flow from concept thru to the delivery phase to JOB1 + 90 days. The model will be developed to include, but not limited to: -

• Discrete Event Simulation

• Lead the DES model generation from concept modelling to fully detailed mimic of the programme / system that meet the design scope, operating principals, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and environment objectives are met.

• Lead the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders

• Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints

• Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions

• Coordinate and lead projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews / DES Dashboards

• Lead optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.

• Lead the bottleneck analysis of the system and develop strategies to remove

• Lead volume throughput increase studies and system what if’s

• Guide the process to adhere to the vehicle derivative sequencing and build to sequence rules

• Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of DES models

• Mentor and train Junior team members and graduates

• Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested

Skills:     

Essential:

• Working knowledge and experience of Discrete Event Simulation toolset

• Previous experience in using Lanner Witness or Siemens Technomatix Plant Simulation toolset

• Previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.

• Previous experience of bottleneck analysis using Discrete Event Simulation.

• Previous experience of delivering Discrete Event Simulation to programme KPIs and targets

• Experience in production sites

• Relevant degree or equivalent experience preferred

• A good communicator who can communicate complex ideas

• A effective team player, actively leads, develops and supports team members

• High levels of personal resilience, integrity and honesty as well as large amounts of humility for the team.

• An individual who enables speed in decision making through establishing alignment, clarity, appropriate resources and sense of urgency whilst bringing others along

 Desirable:

• Experience in automotive production.

• Experience working practices of programme integration and new programmes in automotive engineering.
