Job Description FlexSim Simulation Engineer / Consultant
Role Summary:
We are seeking a FlexSim Simulation Engineer with strong experience in manufacturing and
production line simulations to support the implementation of FlexSim-based plant layout and
production simulations for manufacturing facilities.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with FlexSim modeling, manufacturing process
simulation, and production optimization, and can support software setup, simulation model
development, and training of engineering teams.
This role will work closely with plant engineers and operational teams to simulate production workflows,
identify bottlenecks, and optimize manufacturing processes.
Key Responsibilities
Install, configure, and set up the FlexSim simulation environment.
Develop 3D simulation models of manufacturing and production lines using FlexSim.
Model machines, conveyors, buffers, workstations, and material flows within production
systems.
Simulate production throughput, cycle times, bottlenecks, and resource utilization.
Analyze simulation results and propose process optimization recommendations.
Support factory layout simulations and evaluate different operational scenarios.
Work with plant engineers to translate real production workflows into simulation models.
Prepare and run what-if scenarios to evaluate changes in capacity, layout, or production flow.
Provide training and knowledge transfer to internal engineering teams on how to use FlexSim.
Document simulation models, assumptions, and results.
