Your Role AndKey Responsibilities
Power Co Canada Inc. is building Volkswagen Group’s largest battery cell manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, and is seeking a motivated Factory Planning, AI & Simulation Co‑op to join its team. In this hands‑on developmental role, the selected candidate will contribute directly to the planning and optimization of a next‑generation battery production plant. The Co‑op student will support factory layout planning, BIM coordination, and simulation modeling to enable efficient, scalable, and future‑ready manufacturing operations.
Responsibilities include developing 2D and 3D layouts, coordinating BIM models across engineering disciplines, and building simulation models for capacity and throughput analysis. This position provides exposure to advanced manufacturing planning, cross‑functional collaboration, and mentorship from experienced engineers. It represents an excellent opportunity for students seeking to apply strong analytical, technical, and organizational skills within a fast‑paced environment shaping the future of sustainable mobility.
The Co‑op student will also support the identification, evaluation, and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to improve factory planning, simulation development, BIM coordination, and digital engineering workflows. The role will explore innovative approaches such as AI‑assisted layout generation, simulation automation, data‑driven decision support, and digital twin development to improve planning efficiency and manufacturing performance.
- Build high‑level models using simulation software such as Siemens Plant Simulation and investigate AI‑assisted model generation and validation approaches
- Run scenario analyses and leverage AI‑assisted analytics to identify bottlenecks, optimization opportunities, and planning risks
- Collect and organize planning level data for capacity analysis
- Perform capacity and throughput calculations
- Support layout coordination and evaluate…
