This has allowed our clients to grow with minimal risk while maintaining the highest of standards.\nAsk our customers what they like about us and chances are they will talk about our commitment to our core values of reputation, people, and growth.\nWe are strategically located across North America, aligned with flexible resources, and equipped with innovative technology to bring you the ultimate in supply-chain efficiency.\n\nThe Opportunity\nWe are seeking a motivated, technically capable Simulation Engineer to help build and lead our capabilities in digital twin technology, material-flow simulation, and logistics optimization.\nThis is a new, high-impact role at the intersection of engineering, automation, logistics, commercial strategy, and operational execution. You will use simulation and automation software to model real-world operating environments, evaluate alternatives, identify constraints, and help determine the best way to move material through warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and interconnected logistics systems.\nYour work will influence how we design solutions, develop customer quotations, plan new business, improve existing operations, and execute strategic initiatives. You will work directly with key stakeholders and decision-makers, translating complex engineering problems into practical, data-driven recommendations.\nThis is not a traditional engineering position with a fully established playbook. We are developing and expanding our capabilities in an evolving technology space. We need a self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity, enjoys solving problems, and can help establish the methods, standards, and tools that will shape this capability for the future.\nFor the right person, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on both business strategy and operational performance.\nWhy Join Us?\nHigh visibility: Your work will directly inform important business and operational decisions.\nMeaningful ownership: Help build a developing simulation and digital twin capability rather than inherit a rigid, established process.\nStrategic impact: Influence new-business quotations, solution design, investment decisions, and continuous improvement.\nTechnical opportunity: Apply emerging simulation and automation technologies to complex, practical challenges.\nRoom to grow: Help define the future scope, standards, and potential expansion of this capability.\nWe thank all applicants for their interest; however, only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted.\nRequirements\nThe Ideal Candidate\nYou are a self-starter who enjoys building something new. You are curious about how systems work, comfortable challenging assumptions, and motivated by solving real business problems.\nYou can move between technical detail and the bigger picture. You understand that a simulation is valuable not simply because it is technically sophisticated, but because it helps people make better decisions.\nYou are willing to visit a facility, understand its actual processes, gather the necessary information, build a model, test alternatives, and explain what the results mean. You can work independently while collaborating effectively with commercial, engineering, operations, and leadership teams.\nMost importantly, you are excited by the opportunity to help establish a new capability and see your work influence both strategic direction and real-world execution.\nWork Arrangement & Travel\nA hybrid or remote work arrangement may be considered for the right candidate, depending on experience, location, and business needs. The role requires periodic travel to facilities and customer sites across the United States and Canada. The successful candidate must be comfortable working with site personnel and cross-functional teams in different locations.\nCandidates will only be considered if they are currently able to work legally in the US or Canada without the need for sponsorship.\nBenefits\nHealth\nDental\nVision\nShort-term/Long-term Disability\nLife Insurance\nAD&D\nAccident\nHospital Indemnity\nEAP\nVacation Days\n10 Paid Holidays","description_format":"text","description_chars":4176,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Contract Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T14:50:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.831,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":13,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tft-global-inc-simulation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tft-global-inc-simulation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T11:38:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13694,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687298},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687298"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftft-global-inc-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftft-global-inc-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftft-global-inc-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tft-global-inc-simulation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftft-global-inc-simulation-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3276368}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tftglobal.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3276368},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
