Job Description
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.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to integrate simulation results into final warehouse designs.
