Job description

Konecranes moves what matters. We are a global leader in material handling solutions, serving a broad range of customers across multiple industries. We consistently set the industry benchmark, from everyday improvements to the breakthroughs at moments that matter most, because we know we can always find a safer, more productive and sustainable way. That's why, with 16 000+ professionals in over 50 countries, we are trusted every day to lift, handle and move what the world needs. Konecranes is committed to ensuring that all employees and job applicants are treated fairly in an environment which is free from any form of discrimination.

Simulation & Digital Twin Engineer

As a Simulation & Digital Twin Engineer, you will take on a key role in developing and deploying simulation environments across Ports Solutions organization. You will be responsible for ensuring that our product teams have access to high-quality, realistic, and maintainable simulation solutions that help accelerate product development, improve software quality, and reduce dependence on physical testing environments. In this role, you will develop and maintain simulation models and simulation environments using NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim platforms. You will create reusable simulation components, scenarios, and workflows that can be leveraged across multiple products and development projects. You will also build realistic operating environments that enable products and software to be tested safely and efficiently already during the development phase. Working closely with product teams, you will support the integration of control software, PLC applications, and external systems into simulation environments, enabling HIL and SIL validation through realistic and reliable virtual testing. In addition, you will contribute to virtual commissioning activities, helping teams validate and refine solutions in a simulated environment before they are deployed to physical equipment. At the same time, you will train and guide colleagues in the use of Omniverse and Isaac Sim technologies while contributing to the development of common simulation methods, processes, and ways of working across the organization.

Employment Details

This is a full-time and permanent position. You will be employed by Biisoni and work on assignment at Konecranes. The role follows a hybrid working model and you will meet your colleagues at our Hyvinkää office at least once a week. However, especially during the initial phase, spending time on-site in Hyvinkää will be important to help you develop a solid understanding of our products, systems, and operating environment. The preferred start date is in September-October 2026.
