Simulation Engineer

Software Simulation Engineer Redditch, UK 12 months Work Experience Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science ./Industrial Engineering Experience: Minimum 37 years of relevant experience in supply chain simulation, industrial engineering, or discrete event simulation. If you think you are the right match for the following opportunity, apply after reading the complete description. Simulation Software/ Tools : Proficiency in specialized software such as FlexSim, AnyLogic, .ANSYS (FEA/CFD), MATLAB/Simulink (dynamic systems), COMSOL, or AnyLogic. Programming: Strong scripting skills (Python, R) for data analysis and automating simulation tasks. Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python (scientific computing), C++ (high-performance tasks), and MATLAB/R for data analysis and mathematical modeling. Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of warehousing automation technologies (AGVs, sorters, AS/RS). WMS Knowledge: Familiarity with WMS systems. Simulation Tools: Experience with industry-specific software such as ANSYS (FEA/CFD), MATLAB/Simulink (dynamic systems), COMSOL, or AnyLogic. Experience with CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD) for layout creation. Job Requirements The Simulation Engineer will develop, validate, and analyze discrete-event simulation models of warehouse facilities, incorporating automation, conveyors, and WMS software. The goal is to identify bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and validate operational scenarios before implementation. Modeling & Simulation: Design and build 3D simulation models of distribution centers and warehouse logistics using software like FlexSim, Simio, or AnyLogic. Data Analysis & Validation: Analyze operational data (e.g., order profiles, inventory levels, stock audit ) to validate simulation models, ensuring they accurately represent real-world operations. Process Optimization: Conduct experiments to identify bottlenecks, test "what-if" scenarios, and optimize resource requirements (staffing, automated equipment). WMS Integration: Simulate interactions between physical equipment (AGVs, ASRS, conveyors) and warehouse software systems (e.g., SAP EWM, Manhattan Associates). Documentation & Reporting: Create detailed technical reports and visualizations (Tableau, R) to present findings to stakeholders and support data-driven decision-making. xbpsjku Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to integrate simulation results into final warehouse designs.
