Robotic Simulation Engineer

• Ensure proposed solutions meet required capacity parameters, including throughput, jobs per hour (JPH), cycle time, and annual capacity
• Ensure all reliability and maintainability data, including mean time to repair (MTTR), and mean time between failures (MTBF), reject rate, and availability, is accurately captured and used in throughput simulations
• Identify bottlenecks and recommend solutions to right-size the capacity of an operation
• Set up and document all aspects of the workcell simulation, including cycle time, robot data sheets, DCS sheets, simulation videos, payload sheets, and related deliverables
• Configure, emulate, troubleshoot, and validate PLC logic, automation hardware, safety interlocks, and system communications using electrical and control system documentation to support virtual commissioning
• Configure and integrate hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) control systems with virtual commissioning platforms, robotic simulations, and industrial networks using protocols such as Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC UA
• Perform electrical controls testing, signal verification, and root-cause analysis within the virtual environment, providing technical feedback and design recommendations to controls, electrical, and project engineering teams prior to system deployment

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field or equivalent relevant experience
• Exposure to and basic understanding of PLCs and other controls hardware (i.e. HMIs, safety devices, sensors)
• Proficiency in industry-standard simulation software (i.e. Siemens Process Simulate or Plant Simulate, Rockwell Automation Emulate3D, FANUC ROBOGUIDE)
• Experience deploying cells while connecting PLCs, HMIs, and robot controllers virtually and validating sequence logic and error recovery
• Exposure setting up AMRs simulation paths specific to the automotive industry
• Demonstrated knowledge of safety standards (i.e. ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012, ISO 10218-1) and robotic system safety/risk assessment

• Master’s degree in a related field
• 6+ years of experience in process/systems engineering
• 6+ years of work experience in robotic simulation using one or more of the software tools listed above
