Are you ready to help us build the factory of the future through simulation and join a newly established Simulation Excellence team?
Simulation is a major focus area for the global Grundfos organization and a key part of our digitalization journey. As our new Simulation Engineer in Production Resources, it is up to you to set the direction for the way we use simulation in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) and Operations. Join us on an exciting and innovative journey and help enhance our simulation capabilities across a global organization.
Drive simulation across AME and Operations
As Simulation Engineer in our AME Simulation team, you will work alongside 6 dedicated colleagues in a highly collaborative environment. More specifically the centralized simulation team in Inđia (Serbia) consists of 6 Engineers excelling within the simulation areas supported by the Simulation Manager. Here, you will drive the build-up of simulation capabilities within Grundfos Operations on plant and line level, creating a digital twin of our
production environment, in collaboration with simulation engineers across the functions of Operations.
Technical sections:
More specifically as our simulation engineer in production resources simulation, you will build simulation models to optimize production lines and factory setups (i.e. product flow, resources utilization, lead times, bottlenecks, ergonomics, assembly process, robotics, and virtual commissioning…).
As you drive and develop the use of simulation in AME and Grundfos Operations, you will quickly build a large network across Operations, Product Development, and IT. You will participate in the system and development-related simulation projects as you:
- Drive the development of simulation capabilities (including documentation) for Grundfos Operations with focus on discrete event, assembly, ergonomics and virtual commissioning simulation by defining the simulation processes, tools and competences needed
- Scope and execute activities to enhance our simulation accuracy and the extent to which simulation is applied
- Collaborate with colleagues across AME and Development on designing components and equipment in parallel
- Perform simulation tasks from across a global production setup
- Collaborate with the Product Engineering organisation, ensuring a smooth flow between the product and production simulations
- Support building a global network for simulation across Operations
- Participate in training and benchmark activities of new software’s and tools
“You will be driving key projects that will potentially revolutionize our way of thinking about simulation in Grundfos. You will be collaborating with a very wide network of colleagues to put simulation on the map,” says Manager, Vedran Radinović-Lukić.
Simulation enthusiast who can make things happen
We are looking for a committed colleague who wants to make things happen. You have a passion for simulation, and you are just as happy working on developing the simulation capability as you are performing specific simulation tasks. You enjoy working with a large network of colleagues and have a natural flair for establishing strong working relations across a large global organization. Moreover, you have:
- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in engineering and knowledge of the mechanical or electronic industry
- Experience with at least one production resources simulation tools for production resources such as FlexSim, Anylogic, ema Work Designer, Dassault Assembly, Ergonomics and Robotics modules, Siemens Plant Simulation, Siemens Jack
- Familiarity with 3D CAD design software such as Catia V5 and V6
- Demonstrated experience in analysing, translating, synthesizing production systems and building simulation models according to those requirements
- Solid foundation in layout design, line performance measures and planning disciplines, statistical methodologies, design of experiments, and correlation techniques
- Proficiency with a statistical software, such as R, IBM SPSS Modeler, SAS, Minitab, etc.
- Solid programming skills with demonstrated ability to use at least one programming language (C++, Java, Pyhton, etc..)
- Natural curiosity and feel comfortable working in uncertain areas where knowledge needs to be developed
- Willingness to learn different simulation tools and train other engineers
- Good communication and presentation skills, and you speak and write English fluently
- The job might require 15 to 30 travelling days per year
