Lead Engineer - Plant Throughput Simulation

Job description:

You will be responsible for managing major Throughput Analysis and Simulation (TAS) projects, supervising and coordinating teams and resolving complex engineering challenges. This role requires proficiency in all aspects of Throughput Analysis and Simulation, including MPS and workbook-based throughput simulation modeling, custom special studies, and plant support. You will support as an expert in throughput simulation and possess a minimum of 6 years of experience within the Throughput Analysis.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Support MPS with BEC-based throughput simulation and mentor others in the process.
• Facilitate new vehicle programs through the GVDP by utilizing workbook-based Level 3 throughput simulation models with the GA dataset and instruct others in the methodology.
• Conduct custom studies to assist new vehicle programs, execution teams, and manufacturing plants while providing guidance to others.
• Troubleshoot and debug throughput simulation models, offering training to others in the process.
• Travel to plant sites, as necessary.
• Coordinate the activities of a large group of TAS engineers and support teams.
• Provide technical direction and mentorship to team members.
• Document and share lessons learned to enhance team performance.

Skills and Abilities:

• Proficient in translating plant layouts into simulation models using AutoDesk Design Review and AutoCAD.
• Skilled in throughput simulation software, like CDraw2 and Plant Simulation.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Excellent people skills to collaborate effectively with diverse teams.
• Knowledge of GA processes.
• High level of creativity in design projects.
• Ability to exercise independent judgment and work autonomously.
• Capacity to teach and mentor others effectively.
• Contribute to the documentation of best practices.
• Strong analytical skills to address unusual or complex problems.
