Skills
The Simulation Discrete Event Engineer estimates process capability and improves its efficiency by utilizing discrete event simulations techniques in conjunction with reliability and down time models of tooling/equipment.
Skills
- Meet with project engineers and managers to: understand customer requirements and get process description and data.
- Develop: tooling reliability models to estimate tooling downtime for use in the analysis and discrete event process models to simulate the process flow and the stochastic nature of equipment down time.
- Run simulation models and use statistical sampling techniques to estimate process throughput.
- Employ DOE techniques or iterative simulations to identify significant factors and bottle-necks that influence process performance.
- Present the study to management and customers and 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 & environmental regulations and identify safety/environmental concerns in Company’s Facilities as well as in the Customer’s facilities.
- Adhere to the Quality System and participate in continuous improvement.
- Regular and predictable attendance is an essential function of this job.
