About this role
Scalence L.L.C. is seeking a contract Simulation Engineer to support early manufacturing engineering and throughput architecture for the R2 ramp. This role focuses on building and analyzing discrete event simulation models to guide factory and line design decisions while collaborating with various teams to validate capacity and identify bottlenecks.
Responsibilities:
- Build discrete event simulation models (FlexSim preferred) for manufacturing and material flow use cases
- Translate high-level factory requirements into simulation-ready input assumptions and scenarios
- Run scenario and sensitivity studies to confirm line and shop net JPH vs. targets, quantify overspeed, OPR/TEE, and buffer requirements, and evaluate jobs-per-shift (JPS) regularity and risk envelopes
- Summarize results in clear, decision-focused reports and slide content for ME and program leadership
- Collaborate with layout, material flow, and industrial engineering to align DES assumptions with real PORs and constraints
- Follow DES standards and libraries for model structure, naming, documentation, and handoff
Requirements:
- 3 years experience in automotive manufacturing engineering (e.g., body, paint, GA, battery, drive unit, or material flow) with direct ownership of discrete event simulation projects
- Expert-level proficiency with Autodesk FlexSim
- Demonstrated experience modeling multi-line assembly systems with buffers and rework, stochastic behavior (failures, repairs, variability in process times), and throughput/capacity and bottleneck analysis
- Solid understanding of manufacturing KPIs (JPH, JPS, OEE/TEE, MTBF/MTTR, WIP, buffer sizing)
- Ability to clean and structure input data, define scenarios, and explain model limitations and assumptions
- Prior work experience at client or in client's industry
- Applicants must be able to work directly for Artech on W2
- Familiarity with FlexScript / C / Python for custom logic and tooling in DES
- Prior work on greenfield factory design or major capacity upgrades (launch and ramp)
