Simulation Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, validate, and maintain discrete event simulation models using PlantSIM for manufacturing plants and supply chain processes.
• Execute end-to-end simulation projects from requirement gathering, scoping, model building, validation, to insights presentation.
• Analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and recommend improvements in production lines, logistics, and supply chain networks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (production, supply chain, IT, operations excellence) to integrate simulation insights into decision-making.
• Support digital twin initiatives by linking PlantSIM models with real-time data sources.
• Document model assumptions, results, and recommendations in a structured manner for stakeholders.
• Provide training and knowledge sharing on PlantSIM usage within the organization.

Required Qualifications & Skills:
