A company that cares. Cares about leading the way in construction, engineering, manufacturing and renewable energy. Cares about redefining how energy is designed, applied and consumed. Cares about thoughtfully growing to meet market demands. And ─ as “one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” ─ is focused on the mind/body/soul of team members through ourCulture of Care .\nThe Lead Engineer- Factory Simulation leads individual virtual factory and simulation projects from concept through recommendation, implementation support, and handoff to operations or engineering teams. This role develops project plans, coordinates requirements, manages timelines and risks, and ensures simulation studies produce actionable outputs that support facility design, line changes, and operational decision making. The position focuses on building and managing simulation projects for new facilities, line reconfigurations, material flow changes, capacity expansions, and process optimization across fab, weld, automation, and assembly. This person works closely with Operations Engineering, Manufacturing, Automation, Materials, Planning & Scheduling, Safety, Quality, and Business Technology to validate assumptions, model real-world constraints, and translate simulation results into implementable layouts and process improvements.\nMINIMUM REQUIREMENTS\nBachelor’s degree required (Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Operations, Architectural Engineering, or related field)\n8+ years of experience in manufacturing, operations, industrialized construction, engineering, simulation, or related field.\nExperience with factory/facility simulation, digital twins, discrete-event simulation, or manufacturing layout planning tools (e.g., Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE/DELMIA, FlexSim, Plant Simulation, Simio, Autodesk, or similar).\nExperience participating in or leading projects involving facility layouts, process optimization, material flow analysis, or capacity modeling.\nTravel:0-25%\nWork Schedule:This position works between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nLead virtual factory and simulation projects that support new facilities, line moves, process redesigns, and capacity expansions across fab, weld, automation, and assembly operations.\nDevelop and maintain project charters, timelines, budgets, assumptions, and risk registers for assigned simulation initiatives.\nCoordinate requirements gathering with Operations Engineering, Manufacturing, Automation, Materials, Planning & Scheduling, Safety, Quality, and Business Technology.\nBuild, manage, or coordinate creation of digital factory and virtual twin models that represent facility layouts, equipment, routing logic, staffing, and material flow scenarios.\nUse simulation tools to evaluate alternative layouts, staffing plans, equipment configurations, AGV paths, and process flows based on throughput, WIP, utilization, and space constraints.\nIdentify bottlenecks, constraints, and operational risks within current-state and future-state manufacturing scenarios and develop data-driven recommendations for improvement.\nPartner with fab, weld, automation, and assembly stakeholders to translate simulation results into actionable facility layouts, line designs, and implementation plans.\nSupport integration of simulation inputs with CAD, PLM, ERP, MES, or planning data where applicable to improve model accuracy and execution relevance.\nCoordinate model validation activities to ensure simulation assumptions, logic, and outputs reflect real-world operating conditions and business constraints.\nTrack and report project KPIs such as modeled throughput, utilization, cycle time, space usage, schedule adherence, and implementation benefits.\nProvide regular status updates, issue escalation, and recommendation summaries to the Manager, Manufacturing Programs - Virtual Factory (Simulation) and other stakeholders.\nSupport scenario analysis and “what-if” studies for capital planning, line balancing, resource planning, and continuous improvement initiatives.\nMaintain project documentation, model libraries, assumptions logs, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and standardization across simulation projects.\nSupport change management, stakeholder alignment, and training efforts so simulation outputs are understood and used effectively in operational and engineering decisions.\nPerforms other related duties as required and assigned.\nThe job description and responsibilities described are intended to provide guidelines for job expectations and the employee's ability to perform the position described.
