Simulation Specialist Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Minnesota.

📋 Description

• Oversee the generation of the DES model from initial concept modeling to a fully detailed representation of the program/system that aligns with design scope, operational principles, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, personnel, and environmental objectives.

• Direct the optimization of systems, implement cost avoidance strategies, and capture best practices while sharing insights with relevant stakeholders.

• Collaborate effectively with design teams to create and enhance solutions by considering multiple attributes within established deadlines and time constraints.

• Steer the process using product knowledge and an awareness of potential design limitations to ensure thoughtful consideration is given when developing solutions.

• Coordinate and lead projects and team feedback on results as necessary through design/project reviews and DES Dashboards.

• Spearhead the optimization of the DES model against various model derivative mixes and operational parameters.

• Conduct bottleneck analysis of the system and formulate strategies to eliminate them, leading volume throughput increase studies and system "what if" scenarios.

• Direct the process to comply with vehicle derivative sequencing and build-to-sequence rules.

• Assist in the ongoing development of tools and techniques that enhance capabilities and improve the quality and robustness of DES models.
