Simulation Engineer III - Material Handling Equipment (MHE)

About the Role

The Simulation Engineer III builds and validates discrete-event simulation and emulation models of automated material handling systems — conveyor and sortation, AS/RS and shuttle systems, goods-to-person, AMRs/AGVs, robotic picking and palletizing, and the labor and processes around them. The models this role produces answer the questions that decide a project: Will the design hit peak throughput? Where does it bottleneck? How much buffer, how many stations, how many robots, how many people? This is a hands-on modeling role with real customer exposure. You will support pursuits alongside sales and solution design, defend designs in front of customer engineering teams, de-risk systems before steel is ordered, and use emulation to shorten on-site commissioning. At Level III you own the simulation scope on multiple concurrent projects with minimal supervision, and you help less experienced engineers get better at the craft. Key Responsibilities Simulation Modeling & Analysis •Build, verify, and validate discrete-event simulation models of proposed and existing material handling systems using [FlexSim / AutoMod / Emulate3D / Simio / AnyLogic / Plant Simulation]. •Translate concept drawings, equipment specifications, rate assumptions, and operating procedures into accurate model logic, including routing rules, recirculation, induction strategies, and exception handling. •Analyze customer order and inventory data — order profiles, lines per order, units per line, SKU velocity, cube and weight, seasonality, hourly and peak-day profiles — and develop the design-day and peak-hour scenarios that models run against. •Quantify system throughput, capacity, utilization, bottlenecks, accumulation and buffer sizing, staffing requirements, and order cycle time; run sensitivity and what-if analyses across growth, mix shift, and failure scenarios. •Apply sound statistical practice: warm-up periods, replication counts, confidence intervals, and documented verification and valid
