Simulation Engineer, Automated Solutions; FTC

About Us

Are you ready to shape how cutting-edge technologies are positioned, understood, and adopted by real markets? At Venture One, we build ventures and commercialize breakthrough technologies emerging from advanced research. Our focus spans Aerospace and Space, Security and Defense, Sustainability, Environment and Energy, and Transportation, with technologies across Cryptography, Secure Systems, Directed Energy, Advanced Materials, Autonomous Systems, and more.

We are seeking a Simulation Engineer to support and enhance our digital manufacturing ecosystem by developing and maintaining Digital Twins and Process Simulations. This role focuses on leveraging tools such as Visual Components, DELMIA, and NVIDIA Omniverse to simulate, validate, and optimize production systems.

The ideal candidate will work at the intersection of manufacturing, automation, and data systems, enabling virtual commissioning, performance optimization, and scalable Industry 4.0 solutions across the factory.

• Develop and maintain 3D Digital Twins and Process Twins for manufacturing lines, cells, and factory layouts
• Build and run simulations using Visual Components, DELMIA, or equivalent platforms
• Perform cycle time analysis, throughput optimization, and bottleneck identification
• Support virtual commissioning of automation systems prior to physical deployment
• Simulate and validate robotic operations (reachability, collision detection, path optimization)
• Design and optimize factory layouts, material flow, and logistics systems (AGVs, conveyors, ASRS, OHT)
• Integrate simulation models with MES, SCADA, PLC, and IIoT platforms
• Utilize real-time and historical data for predictive and scenario-based simulations
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, automation, and IT
• Contribute to continuous improvement and digital transformation initiatives

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing simulation or industrial engineering
• Hands‑on experience with Visual Components, DELMIA, or similar simulation tools
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (CNC, assembly, material handling)
• Basic knowledge of industrial automation systems (PLC, SCADA)
• Experience with 3D modeling and CAD tools (Solid Works, CATIA, NX, etc.)
• Familiarity with data handling and basic scripting (Python or similar)

• Experience in robot simulation and offline programming (ABB, KUKA, FANUC)
• Exposure to AI/ML applications in manufacturing or simulation
• Experience with virtual commissioning and lights-out manufacturing environments
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a focus on process optimization
• Knowledge of MES systems (e.g., DELMIA Apriso) and ERP integration (SAP)
• Understanding of IIoT architectures (MQTT, OPC UA, Unified Namespace)
• Experience with NVIDIA Omniverse or high‑fidelity digital twin platforms

We are committed to creating an inclusive and equal opportunity workplace.
