Simulation Engineer

Overview

As a Simulation Engineer working in Dematic's Solution & Delivery Optimization organization, the individual will be responsible for designing and developing accurate and valid computer-based high‑fidelity models of standardized material‑handling systems. In addition, the Simulation Engineer will conduct experiments using said simulation models to develop, test and produce recommendations on control strategies for the simulated technologies. This business‑critical role is crucial in solution standardization and enables the following:
Fast and lean preparation of competitive offers, Efficient project execution, Volume effects on equipment used, General risk reduction for projects.

• Career Development
• Competitive Compensation and Benefits
• Pay Transparency
