DES Engineer

Engineers must possess strong knowledge of material handling fundamentals, warehouse operations, and AGV/AMR automation processes.

• Build and validate Plant Simulation models for machining, assembly, and material handling systems.

• Understand the Throughput and Material Flow simulation procedures and implement the same

• Implement control logic and automation using SimTalk scripting.

• Collaborate with process owners (BoP Owners/ Program teams) for input collection and compile and review the results

• Throughput Simulation

  • Model gantry and conveyor configurations 

  • Quantify line throughput with station utilization charts

  • Identify bottlenecks and quantify losses due to downtimes and quality

  • Propose actionable insights to mitigate losses and improve throughput

  • Run buffer / pallet sensitivity analysis to optimize the resources

• Material flow Analysis.

• Perform overall flow map of products through the facility

• Produce aisle heat map for trips per hour for each aisle way

• Optimize Material flow and collaborate with the proper personnel to facilitate those optimization opportunities.

• Provide data to the team for PMHV planning.

• Provide data to industrial engineer for labor planning

• Calculate the utilization of the point of fit (PoF) docks.

• Collaborate on the shift scheduling projects to assist in reducing inventories.

• Collaborate with teams for continuous improvements.

• Analyze simulation results and communicate opportunities (Cost avoidance/ Investment efficiency/ JPH Increase) to the team.

• Present findings through clear dashboards and executive summaries.

• 1–3 years of hands-on experience with Siemens Plant Simulation and SimTalk programming. 

• Professional Knowledge and strong Skills on: Discrete Event Simulation /Programming /Auto CAD /MS Office

• Knowledge of lean principles and intralogistics systems.

• Read & Analyze process flow diagram

• Strong Logic building ability. 

• Data analytics & Interpretation skills

• Ability to work independently when required

• Excellent Communication, Customer relation skills as well as ability to work with a diverse team

• Candidates should be flexible to work in shift, if necessary.
