ALTEN Technology USA is an engineering company helping clients bring groundbreaking ideas to life, and they are seeking a Virtual Assembly Simulation Engineer. The role involves executing virtual assembly simulations to analyze automotive operator assembly processes, collaborating with specialists to improve safety and efficiency before physical production begins.
Responsibilities:
- Executing virtual assembly simulations that analyze automotive operator assembly processes to reduce risk, improve safety, and optimize efficiency before physical production begins
- Conducting realistic virtual assembly trials (digital human modeling) and validating workstation processes using Siemens Process Simulate, motion capture, and virtual reality tools to simulate operators of varying anthropometric percentiles and evaluate reach, vision, and clearance for consistent job performance across the workforce
- Collaborating closely with program specialists and engineers across disciplines—including industrial engineering, product engineering, feasibility, logistics, workplace integration, tooling, ergonomics/safety—and incorporating operator feedback to visualize and validate future operations and product builds
- Identifying and resolving issues related to human factors and workstation design by applying ergonomics, industrial engineering principles, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) guidelines
- Utilizing Siemens Teamcenter PLM to access manufacturing and product design data
Requirements:
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Science, Industrial Engineering, Automotive or relevant field/work experience
- Proficient with Siemens Process Simulate software, version 2016 to current, specifically for Human/Jack Simulation (digital human modeling)
- Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools such as Siemens Teamcenter 11+, Dassault 3D Enovia/Experience, or similar
- Strong project management skills with the ability to lead cross-functional coordination
- Experience in motion-capture, and VR technology applications in Manufacturing simulation
- Experience in Manufacturing/Sequence BOM generation
- Experience with VR technology applications in Manufacturing simulation
- Experience with MODAPTS
- Knowledge of Vehicle Assembly Process (General Assembly / TCF)
