Discrete Event Simulation Engineer

We are looking for a talented-Discrete Event Simulation Engineer-to join our team and play a key role in shaping the future of automotive production. Using advanced simulation techniques, you will analyse and optimise manufacturing and logistics processes to drive efficiency, improve throughput, and support strategic decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement-Discrete Event Simulation models-using-Witness-to optimize automotive production processes.

• Conduct-bottleneck analysis-and recommend strategies to enhance operational efficiency.

• Determine-buffer size requirements-and assess the impact of different model derivative mixes on production flow.

• Perform-volume throughput increase studies-and evaluate system "what-if" scenarios.

• Ensure-process adherence to vehicle derivative sequencing-and build-to-sequence rules.

• Optimize-material flows and logistics, including:

  • Onsite material movements (lineside deliveries, marketplace transfers).

  • Material movements between sites-to improve supply chain efficiency.

  • AGV quantity estimation-and identifying operational hotspots.

  • Racking studies-to maximize space and efficiency.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to-translate complex data insights into clear recommendations.

Profile

• Proven experience in automotive production or logistics-environments.

• Hands-on expertise with Witness Discrete Event Simulation toolset.

• Strong-Excel VBA skills-for data analysis and model enhancement.

• Experience in modelling assembly lines-to improve efficiency.

• Strong analytical skills with a focus on-bottleneck analysis and process optimization.

• Ability to-communicate complex ideas effectively-to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• A-collaborative team player-who can work effectively across departments.
