Job description
Lead production-floor workflow, capacity, material-flow, and resource-utilization studies using Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation.
Develop discrete-event simulation models and scenario logic covering production lines, equipment, operators, buffers, material handling, product routing, process logic, cycle times, and operational constraints.
Conduct what-if analysis, bottleneck analysis, line balancing, capacity studies, and automation assessments to optimize production processes and factory layouts.
Translate simulation outputs into practical recommendations for factory layout, production workflow, automation architecture, capacity improvement, and equipment investment.
Define machine connectivity and data requirements for new automation equipment, including PLC interfaces, equipment states, alarms, production counters, process parameters, quality results, and diagnostic information.
Coordinate the integration of machines with Ignition SCADA for equipment visualization, alarming, historical data collection, operational monitoring, and performance analysis.
Develop standardized machine tag structures, naming conventions, equipment models, and contextualized data aligned with Unified Namespace principles.
Support connectivity through approved industrial protocols and technologies, including OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, industrial Ethernet, and APIs.
Ensure automation suppliers provide integration-ready equipment with appropriate controls hardware, communication capability, interface documentation, data-point lists, network requirements, and test provisions.
Collaborate with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Controls, IT, OT, Cybersecurity, MES, and Quality teams to ensure the complete solution is secure, reliable, maintainable, and scalable.
Develop and execute verification plans for workflow performance, simulation accuracy, machine connectivity, SCADA visualization, tag behavior, alarm handling, historian data, communication recovery, and system integration.
Support FAT, SAT, installation, commissioning, qualification, ramp-up, troubleshooting, and handover of automation and connectivity solutions at manufacturing sites.
Develop reusable Tecnomatix simulation libraries, SCADA templates, connectivity standards, equipment data models, and engineering guidelines for future projects and multi-site deployment.
Requirements:
Bachelor or Master or PhD in Automation, Mechatronics, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Computer Engineering or a related engineering discipline from an accredited college/university.
Minimum 8 years of relevant experience in smart manufacturing, factory automation, manufacturing systems, industrial digitalization, or automation engineering.
Hands-on experience with Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, including discrete-event simulation, production workflow modeling, scenario planning, capacity analysis, bottleneck analysis, and process optimization.
Hands-on experience working directly with manufacturing operations and production-floor equipment, with the ability to troubleshoot issues across the physical machine, controls, connectivity, SCADA, and manufacturing-system layers.
Experience in factory automation, machine integration, PLCs, SCADA, and industrial communication protocols, with practical knowledge of Ignition, OPC UA, MQTT/Sparkplug, and industrial networking.
Knowledge and experience in Unified Namespace (UNS), IIoT, OT/IT integration, MES/MOM, and manufacturing data architecture.
Strong technical, analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to translate production-floor challenges into scalable automation and digital manufacturing solutions.
Demonstrate strong leadership, influencing, communication, project planning, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Team player who can effectively collaborate with Manufacturing, Controls, IT/OT, MES, Operations, Engineering, and external system integrators.
Able to adapt well in a dynamic manufacturing environment, learn emerging Industry 4.0 technologies, and work independently with minimal supervision.
