Description of the Throughput Simulation Engineer:
Estimate process capability and improve its efficiency by utilizing discrete event simulation techniques in conjunction with reliability and down time models of tooling/equipment.


Essential Duties and Responsibilities of the Throughput Simulation Engineerinclude the following:

• Meet with project engineers and managers to understand customer requirements, get process descriptions, and data. Develop tooling reliability models to estimate tooling downtime for use in the analysis. Discrete event process models to simulate the process flow and the stochastic nature of equipment downtime
• Run simulation models and use statistical sampling techniques to estimate process throughput
• Employ DOE techniques or iterative simulations to identify significant factors and bottlenecks that influence process performance
• Present the study to management and customers to suggest means to improve efficiency and/or achieve process targets
• Ensure the process analysis is communicated in an effective manner so that its recommendations are accounted in the simultaneous engineering of the process
• Employ the feedback received for continuous refinement of the process model as part of simultaneous engineering
• Be willing for occasional short/extended travel to customer sites
• Understand and follow safety and environmental regulations and identify safety/environmental concerns in the company's facilities as well as in the customers' facilities
• Adhere to the Quality Safety and participate in continuous improvement
• Regular and predictable attendance is an essential function of this job
