Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience with virtual commissioning and simulation platforms used in industrial automation such as Process Simulate / PlantSimulation, DELMIA, Visual Components, Emulate3D, ISG-virtuos, or similar.
• Knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes, production equipment, and digital engineering methods.
• Experience improving engineering workflows, automation libraries, or toolchains for model-based development.
• Existing network in US automotive, supplier, logistics, automation, or mechanical-engineering manufacturing.
• Prior customer-facing, pre-sales, or training experience a plus.
• Strong expertise in at least one of the following: CAD design, PLC programming, robot programming, or electrical design.
• Several years of relevant experience in virtual commissioning, digital twin development, or industrial simulation.
• Hands-on experience with machine or plant software and commissioning activities (preferred).
• Programming experience in higher-level languages (e.g., C#) is a plus.
• <b>English (C1-C2)</b>

Responsibilities

• Design and develop virtual commissioning and simulation models for automated production equipment and manufacturing processes.
• Create digital models independently to support the virtual validation of manufacturing systems, controls logic, and process behavior.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, and software engineering teams to ensure the virtual model accurately reflects the physical system and supports an efficient engineering workflow.
• Support validation and testing activities using digital models to identify issues early and improve commissioning readiness.
• Develop engineering utilities, automation workflows, and model-generation tools to improve efficiency and standardization.
• Track assigned tasks, document findings, and communicate results and recommendations to project stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Deliver model-creation and digital-services engagements for customer programs — a primary value stream of the US partnership.
• Help stand up and run first-level customer support and training — the capability that anchors the long-term support model with FE.E.
• Become the resident expert: integration, configuration, troubleshooting, and best practices.
• Deliver technical workshops and demos. Support the technical sales cycle with solution scoping and ROI framing for virtual commissioning.
• Contribute to building the US pipeline of net-new accounts across automotive, suppliers, logistics, automation, and mechanical engineering.
