Associate Engineer, Factory Simulation

We are seeking a proactive and analytical Factory Simulation Engineer to support the modeling, simulation, and optimization of our aircraft production environment using Dassault Systèmes DELMIA within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This role plays a critical part in ensuring our factory layout, resource allocation, and process flows are digitally validated and aligned to operational targets before physical implementation. 

The ideal candidate has a background in Industrial Engineering, experience with discrete-event or 3D simulation tools, and is excited to help design a next-generation aerospace factory from the ground up.

What You’ll Do 

• Develop and maintain digital factory models using DELMIA to simulate production flow, resource utilization, takt time, and workstation loading 
• Work with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, IE, Facilities, and Design Engineering) to translate product and process data into simulation-ready workflows 
• Evaluate line balancing, labor planning, and material flow efficiency to optimize plant layout and reduce bottlenecks 
• Conduct "what-if" analysis to inform key facility decisions such as equipment placement, cell design, and takt scenarios 
• Provide visual work instructions, operator simulation, and digital build validation for station-by-station production planning 
• Support parametric facility planning, helping align space, infrastructure, and labor to support rate targets and production forecasts 
• Generate reports, dashboards, and visualizations to communicate findings and support capital decision-making 
• Collaborate with the Digital Thread team to maintain traceability between MBOM, process plan, and plant simulation 
• Continuously refine simulation models as designs, layouts, and schedules evolve 

Education 

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
