What you'll do:

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting all the Factory Simulation projects across the Industrial & Electrical sector sites. The Factory Simulation Engineer will be part of a Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team enabling deployment of Discrete Event Simulations using ProModel or similar 2D/3D Simulation platform. Incumbent is also required to partner with Manufacturing Engineering, CI, Plant OPEX and Industry 4.0 teams globally to understand operations and gather necessary inputs for successful simulation deployment - Realizing the target productivity as a goal.

"Develop and maintain Discrete Event Simulation models for manufacturing lines, cells, and factory operations using ProModel or comparable simulation platforms.

Collect and analyze manufacturing inputs such as demand, production routing, cycle time, changeover time, equipment availability, labor allocation, buffer capacity, shift patterns, and material movement.

Work with manufacturing sites and project teams to verify that simulation inputs, operating assumptions, constraints, and production scenarios are accurate and traceable.

Support production line design and line-balancing studies based on demand, takt time, process sequence, cycle time, workstation requirements, operator allocation, and equipment capacity.

Develop current-state and proposed-state process-flow representations for manufacturing lines and cells.

Support factory and production-area layout development by evaluating equipment placement, workstation arrangement, aisle requirements, material presentation, storage locations, buffers, and operator movement.

Perform layout optimization studies to improve production flow, space utilization, equipment access, material movement, and operational efficiency.

Build simulation scenarios to evaluate alternative production configurations, staffing levels, equipment quantities, buffer sizes, shift patterns, and layout concepts.

Identify production bottlenecks and capacity constraints using simulation results, process observations, and manufacturing data.

Support equipment and labor-sizing analyses by comparing required demand with available process and resource capacity.

Analyze material movement between storage, production processes, workstations, and finished-goods areas to identify excessive travel, waiting, handling, congestion, or work-in-process.

Support the development and evaluation of internal material-flow concepts, including line-side presentation, point-of-use storage, replenishment routes, supermarkets, carts, tuggers, forklifts, and other material-handling methods.

Compare simulation results with calculated capacity and actual shop-floor performance to verify model accuracy and identify improvement opportunities.

Prepare clear engineering reports and presentations summarizing assumptions, simulation logic, findings, alternative scenarios, risks, and recommendations.

Maintain appropriate version control, model documentation, data sources, assumptions, and validation records for simulation and layout studies.

Participate in manufacturing-site visits, process observations, time studies, technical discussions, and project reviews.

Apply Eaton engineering systems, standards, safety requirements, and project processes during model development and project execution.

Capture lessons learned and contribute to the development of reusable simulation-model structures, data templates, and Industrial Engineering methods."
