Senior Simulation Engineer, Innovation and Design Engineering
Sector: Creative and Design, Engineering
Role: Senior Executive
Contract Type: Permanent
Hours: Full Time
DESCRIPTION
This role can be based in any of our European Corporate Offices.
The Worldwide Innovation and Design team delivers innovative, effective, and efficient automation solutions that continually improve our customers' experience. We are seeking a Senior Simulation Engineer who will work with our hardware development engineers to create Discrete-Event Simulations for technologies in our Last Mile (AMZL) network. The insights given from this digital experimentation will enable processes and mechanical designs to be optimized early in the product life cycle to achieve success in deployment.
Key Job Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of simulation data science solutions to perform system of systems discrete event simulations for significantly complex operational processes using FlexSim, Emulate 3D, AnyLogic or other Discrete Event Simulation (DES) software packages.
- Lead strategic modeling and simulation research projects to drive process design decisions.
- Establish best practices in simulation science discipline and simplify problems to develop discrete event simulations faster with higher standards.
- Identify and tackle complex process flow simulation problems.
- Deliver artifacts that set the standard for excellence, from process flow control algorithm design to validation and technical documentation.
- Apply judgment and simulation experience to balance cross-organization trade-offs and effectively influence internal and external partners.
- Provide simulation data and measurements that influence the business strategy. Document your approach, simulation outcomes, recommendations, and arguments.
- Participate in reviews of simulation research science solutions, fostering shared understanding within the simulation data science discipline.
- Mentor and educate the larger simulation data science community on trends, technologies, and best practices.
- Use advanced statistical/simulation tools and develop codes (Python or another object-oriented language) for data analysis, simulation, and modeling algorithms.
- Coordinate simulation efforts between internal teams and outside vendors to develop optimal solutions for the network.
- Deliver results according to project schedules and quality standards.
A Day in the Life:
A day in the life of a Senior Simulation Engineer works backwards from a goal of digitally validating a technology. You will collaborate with Hardware Development Engineers to understand new technologies, determine testing needs, choose the best simulation methods, set up the Design of Experiments, and summarize results. A wide range of tools in your simulation toolbox is desired.
About the Team:
You will be part of the "System Integration & Performance" team within Innovation & Design Engineering, focusing on mechatronics technologies (Robots, Conveyors, Sorters) to improve Amazon's last mile logistics.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- PhD or Master's degree with quantitative field simulation experience.
- Experience communicating simulation findings to drive business decisions.
- Experience investigating the feasibility of applying scientific principles to business problems.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience converting research studies into tangible changes.
- Experience with discrete and continuous optimization methodologies and algorithms.
- Experience with industrial processes.
