As the only firm born from a manufacturing technology company to become an independent and fully integrated firm, we combine deep domain expertise in the manufacturing environment with an approach that is built to serve the dynamic needs of our clients. Rooted in our distinct culture of Truly Human Leadership, we cultivate the leaders who will define tomorrow and partner with our clients in the food & beverage, life sciences, industrial, and advanced technology industries to build the future of manufacturing and technology.Barry-Wehmiller is a diversified global supplier of engineering consulting and manufacturing technology for the packaging, corrugating, sheeting and paper-converting industries. By blending people-centric leadership with disciplined operational strategies and purpose-driven growth, Barry-Wehmiller has become a $3 billion organization with nearly 12,000 team members united by a common belief: to use the power of business to build a better world.Job Description:\nPosition Overview\nWe are seeking a highly analytical and technically skilled Simulation Engineer with hands-on experience in 3D manufacturing and discrete-event simulation. Core strengths include experience with Emulate3D, FlexSim, or equivalent simulation software, C++ knowledge, and the ability to develop and validate models of production systems and material flow.\nHigh-speed packaging experience, particularly bottling and canning in the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) industry, is preferred-not required. Candidates are not expected to bring expertise across packaging, process, and warehouse operations; domain-specific knowledge can be developed with guidance from engineering and operations specialists. Warehouse simulation, controls, virtual commissioning, and 3D modeling or visualization experience are additional advantages, not prerequisites.\nThe successful candidate will develop and validate simulation models, evaluate production-line performance, identify operational bottlenecks, and support packaging-system design and optimization through data-driven analysis. Warehouse simulation studies may be supported as needed, with guidance from warehouse operations specialists.\nExperience: 5+ years preferred\n Industry: Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, or Industrial Automation\nKey Responsibilities\nSimulation Modeling and Development\nDevelop, configure, and validate 3D simulation models of manufacturing and packaging systems using Emulate3D, FlexSim, or equivalent simulation platforms; support warehouse models where applicable, with guidance as needed.\nDevelop simulation logic, customized behaviors, and model components using C++ and the programming capabilities available within the selected simulation environment.\nSimulate production-line layouts, equipment interactions, material flow, conveyor systems, buffers, and equipment operating sequences.\nPerform scenario analysis to evaluate alternative line configurations, equipment capacities, operating strategies, and production rates.\nDebug, troubleshoot, and optimize simulation models to ensure accuracy and reliability.\nWhere skills and project needs align, provide 3D modeling and visualization support, including creating or updating equipment models and layouts in Revit, Inventor, or equivalent tools. This is an optional supporting responsibility, not a core requirement.\nManufacturing Analysis and Optimization\nApply simulation and industrial engineering principles to design and optimize high-speed CPG packaging lines, including bottling/cans, filling, conveying, accumulation, labeling, packing, and palletizing.\nCollect and analyze process times, production rates, and downtime using Excel for data preparation, statistical analysis, performance calculations, and simulation-result analysis; use warehouse data for occasional studies with support from operations specialists.\nAssess throughput, cycle times, capacity, equipment and resource utilization, buffer capacity and occupancy, and line efficiency to identify bottlenecks and improve line balancing.\nConduct what-if analyses of production scenarios, downtime, speed changes, demand variability, and operating conditions to evaluate performance and improvement opportunities.\nCollaborate with packaging, manufacturing, automation, and equipment-supplier teams to define process requirements and validate simulation assumptions.\nTranslate simulation results into actionable recommendations for packaging-line design, capacity planning, and continuous improvement through structured problem-solving and data-driven decision-making.\nWhere applicable, support equipment-sequence and material-handling interface modeling and virtual commissioning for packaging and automated warehouse systems with guidance from controls engineers. Prior controls or virtual commissioning experience is desired, not required; controls design and PLC programming expertise are not required.\nCore Requirements\n Bachelor’s degree in industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.\nHands-on experience with Rockwell Emulate3D, FlexSim, or equivalent 3D manufacturing and discrete-event simulation software.\nWorking knowledge of C++ (Flexscript) to develop or modify simulation logic and model behavior.\nManufacturing or industrial engineering experience.\nFoundational understanding of production systems, material flow, and equipment interactions, with a willingness to learn packaging-, process-, and warehouse-specific applications.\nKnowledge of line balancing, cycle times, bottlenecks, and capacity planning.\nStrong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills.\nProficiency in Excel for data analysis and performance reporting.\nStrong communication and collaboration skills across engineering, operations, and automation teams.\nPreferred Requirements\nThese skills are optional advantages, not prerequisites:\nFamiliarity with PLC controls; exposure to automation using Rockwell Studio 5000 is a plus.\nFamiliarity with warehouse operations or simulation, including storage, picking, and material flow.\nKey Success Criteria\nDevelop and validate reliable simulation models of manufacturing and packaging systems.\nApply programming skills to implement and troubleshoot simulation logic.\nEvaluate packaging-line performance and identify throughput constraints.\nCollaborate with packaging and manufacturing teams to improve system performance, involving warehouse operations, supply chain, and controls engineers as needed.\nDeliver clear, data-driven recommendations that support packaging-line design, capacity planning, and operational efficiency; contribute to warehouse studies with guidance when applicable.\nNice to have: Support 3D modeling and visualization by creating or updating equipment models and layouts using Revit, Inventor, or equivalent tools, where skills and project needs align. This is an additional capability, not a required success criterion.\n#LI-SE1\nAt Barry-Wehmiller we recognize that people come with a wealth of experience and talent beyond just the technical requirements of a job.
