Position Title: Virtual Discrete Event Lead Simulation Engineer
Duration: 12 Months Rolling
Location: Wolverhampton, Solihull, Whitley
Division: Manufacturing Engineering
Pay rate: upto £33.90ph Inside ir35
Position Description:
* Responsible for the development and delivery of the Discrete Event Simulation model and documentation, modelling the process flow from concept thru to the delivery phase to JOB1 + 90 days.
* The model will be developed to include, but not limited to: - Discrete Event Simulation
* Lead 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.
* Lead 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 and lead projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews/DES Dashboards
* Lead optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.
* Lead the bottleneck analysis of the system and develop strategies to remove
* Lead volume throughput increase studies and system what ifs
* Guide the process to adhere to the vehicle derivative sequencing and build to sequence rules
* Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of DES models
* Mentor and train Junior team members and graduates
* Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested
Skills Required:
