Job role: Simulation Engineer

Location: Bellevue WA

Job Type: Full-Time

The simulation engineer will focus on simulation to assist with process improvement and facility design initiatives in our North American fulfillment network. Successful candidates will be natural self-starters who have the drive to design, model, and simulate new fulfillment center conception and design processes.

The Simulation Engineer will be expected to deep dive problems and drive relentlessly towards creative solutions. This individual needs to be comfortable interfacing and driving various functional teams and individuals at all levels of the organization in order to be successful. Perform data modelling using different discrete event simulation software s, and use optimization techniques, research aptitude, and data analysis such as statistical analysis, regression analysis, Design of Experiments (DOE) etc. to drive decisions on process and designs.

This role requires a strong passion for customers, a high level of comfort navigating ambiguity, and a keen sense of ownership and drive to deliver results. The ideal candidate will have experience in Simulation work, business analytics and have the aptitude to incorporate new approaches and methodologies while dealing with ambiguities in sourcing processes. Excellent business and communication skills are a must to develop and define key business questions and to build data sets. You should have demonstrated ability to think strategically and analytically about business, product, and technical challenges.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design, develop, and simulate engineering solutions for complex material handling challenges considering human/equipment interactions for the North America fulfillment network
  • Retrieve, synthesize, and present critical data in a format that is immediately useful to answering specific questions or improving system performance.
  • Analyze historical data to identify trends and support decision making.
  • Provide requirements to develop analytic capabilities, platforms, and pipelines.
  • Design, size, and analyze field experiments at scale.
  • Build decision-making models and propose solution for the business problem you defined. This may include delivery of algorithms to be used in production systems.
  • Conduct written and verbal presentation to share insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication.
  • Develop, document and update simulation standards, including standard results reports
  • Create basic to highly advanced models and run "what-if" scenarios to help drive to optimal solutions

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor s degree in Industrial/ Mechanical/ Process Engineering.
  • Experience in Discrete Event Simulation(DES) and Statistical distribution
  • Coding in C++, Python and/or any scripting languages
  • Experienced in DES software s called Anylogic

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Master's degree in Statistics, Applied Math, Operations Research, Economics, or a related quantitative field with at least 4+ years of working experience as a Simulation Engineer.
  • Experience in modelling Warehouse yard process and traffic flow analysis.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to effectively advocate technical solutions to engineering teams and business audiences
  • Ability to be flexible and work independently in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
  • Ability to effectively manage, influence, negotiate, and communicate with external business partners and internal teams to meet organizational capacity needs
