Job Description
Akkodis is seeking a Virtual Discrete Event Simulation Engineer to join their Manufacturing Engineering team. As a Virtual Discrete Event Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting vehicle or system programmes in the Discrete Event Simulation function.
Responsibilities:
* Support the DES model generation from concept modelling to fully detailed mimic of the programme / system that meet the design scope, operating principals, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and environment objectives are met.
* Support the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders
* Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints
* Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions
* Coordinate projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews / DES Dashboards
* Support optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.
What you will need:
* Demonstrable Working knowledge and experience of Discrete Event Simulation toolset
* Demonstrable previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.
* Demonstrable previous experience of bottleneck analysis using Discrete Event Simulation.
* Demonstrable previous experience of delivering Discrete Event Simulation to programme KPIs and targets
* Proven project and people management skills.
* Experience in production sites
* Ability to develop and deliver presentations to work groups and senior management
