Engineer, Production Simulation, Digital Engineering

Digital Engineering & Simulation Design

• Design and execute digital simulations and statistical analyses to validate value streams, layouts, and processes before physical implementation
• Develop and apply digital engineering methodologies — integrating products, processes, and resources — throughout the entire production lifecycle
• Perform digital verification of feasibility for manufacturing concepts, using data‑driven approaches to reduce risk and accelerate decision‑making
• Plan, simulate, and implement machine interlinking concepts using Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), from initial concept through to full‑scale deployment
• Evaluate and integrate new automation technologies, assessing their impact on cycle time, tooling, quality, and material flow
• Partner with production teams to identify, analyze, and resolve manufacturing issues using statistical and digital tools, ensuring root causes are addressed sustainably
• Initiate and lead structured troubleshooting processes based on live production data, driving corrective actions through to completion
• Work closely with Schaeffler's global manufacturing technology networks — including division, business division, and business unit groups — while maintaining strong alignment with regional stakeholders

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering related field and 1 year of experience
• Relevant professional experience in production and digitalization with focus on disruptive concepts and technologies
• Knowledge of end‑to‑end digital engineering in linking product, process, and resource contexts, integration of design, simulation, and production
• Demonstrated competency in programming languages (e.g., Python, C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, RoS), databases, and business/manufacturing software, and software development
• Experience in applying and customizing digital engineering and simulation tools (e.g., Plant Simulation, Visual Components, 3D experience, Flex Sim, Omniverse etc) and developing and implementing proprietary software tools
• Experience in the field of Industrial Metaverse and in development and implementation of digital production twins
• Demonstrated competency in analyzing and evaluating production and logistics frameworks from technical and economic standpoints, including methodologies associated with Lean Production
• Strong analytical skills and structured, solution‑oriented working style
• Interpersonal proficiency including teamwork, goal orientation, conflict management, and effective communication
