Battery Pack Simulation Engineer M/F

Verkor

We are looking for a Battery Factory Simulation Engineer. As such, you will develop and own factory-level simulation models for battery manufacturing to perform bottleneck analysis, capacity studies, line balancing, throughput optimization, logistics flow design, ramp-up decision-making, and what-if scenario analysis.  You will build a multi-scale process simulation approach linking factory-level material/energy flow and overall throughput with process constraints, equipment behavior (utilization, yield, WIP, energy, cycle time, takt time, MTBF, MTTR, …), 0D models, operational logic, and cost.  You will define model requirements, collect equipment and process model inputs, contribute to constructing the manufacturing database, and interface with process, automation, CAE, and cost engineers.
