Senior Virtual Commissioning Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop virtual commissioning and simulation models for automated production equipment and manufacturing processes in automotive and general‑industry environments.
• Create digital models independently to support the virtual validation of manufacturing systems, controls logic, and process behavior.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, and software engineering teams to ensure the virtual model accurately reflects the physical system and supports an efficient engineering workflow.
• Support validation and testing activities using digital models to identify issues early and improve commissioning readiness.
• Develop engineering utilities, automation workflows, and model‑generation tools to improve efficiency and standardization.
• Track assigned tasks, document findings, and communicate results and recommendations to project stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Deliver model‑creation and digital‑services engagements for fe.screen‑sim customers— a primary value stream of the US partnership.
• Help stand up and run first‑level customer support and training—the capability that anchors the long‑term support model with F.E.E.
• Become the resident fe.screen‑sim expert: integration, configuration, troubleshooting, and best practices.
• Deliver technical workshops and demos. F.E.E leads the provide technical workshop and dedicated sales‑training program; you absorb that capability over time.
• Support the technical sales cycle as the credible engineering voice: solution scoping, ROI framing for virtual commissioning, and answering the hard technical questions.
• Contribute to building the US pipeline of net‑new accounts across automotive and suppliers, logistics, automation, and mechanical engineering.

• Bachelor's degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent technical training with relevant professional experience.
• Strong expertise in at least one of the following: CAD design, PLC programming, robot programming, or electrical design.
• Several years of relevant experience in virtual commissioning, digital twin development, or industrial simulation.
• Ability to quickly understand cross‑functional technical topics and actively contribute to problem solving.
• Hands‑on experience with machine or plant software and commissioning activities (preferred).
• Programming experience in higher‑level languages (e.g., C#) is a plus.
• US work authorization; based in or able to relocate to the Troy, MI area; willing to travel to US customer sites.
