Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Blue Chip Talent is an award-winning and woman-owned talent solutions provider based out of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. They are seeking a skilled Manufacturing Simulation Engineer responsible for building discrete event simulation models, analyzing manufacturing throughput, and supporting early factory and line design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Build discrete event simulation models for manufacturing and material flow use cases
• Translate factory requirements into simulation-ready assumptions, inputs, and scenarios
• Run scenario and sensitivity studies to validate throughput, capacity, and bottlenecks
• Quantify overspeed, OPR/TEE, buffer sizing, and jobs-per-shift risk factors
• Summarize simulation results into clear reports and slide content for engineering leadership
• Collaborate with layout, material flow, and industrial engineering teams to align model assumptions
• Follow established DES standards for model structure, documentation, naming, and handoff

Skills

• 3+ years of automotive manufacturing engineering experience
• Direct ownership of discrete event simulation projects
• Expert-level Autodesk FlexSim experience
• Experience modeling multi-line assembly systems, buffers, and rework
• Experience modeling stochastic behavior including failures, repairs, and process-time variability
• Throughput, capacity, bottleneck analysis, WIP, JPH, JPS, OEE/TEE, MTBF/MTTR, and buffer sizing experience
• Experience cleaning and structuring input data for simulation scenarios
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field
• FlexScript, C++, or Python experience for custom DES logic and tooling
• Greenfield factory design experience
• Major capacity upgrade, launch, or ramp experience
• Automotive body, paint, general assembly, battery, drive unit, or material flow experience
• Experience with ASRS sizing, AGV flows, inter-shop buffers, or shop overspeed trade-offs

Benefits

• We offer industry-leading benefits options
