Automation Simulation Engineer

Automation Engineer

Cooperate with proposal (pre-sales) and engineering resources to design, propose, and verify throughput simulation to ensure that robotized automatic cell or line are in line with internal and customer requirements for time and cost targets. Participate in the proposal (pre-sales) phase in designing the best automation solution supporting proposal engineers, sales, and business development. Program robots offline in a simulation environment to verify reach, accessibility, collision avoidance, and cycle time of a solution. Provide the team with a precise estimation of the cycle time and robot movements for an automatic cell. Support the team in developing improved manufacturing processes to achieve the required production output. Support the component selection (e.g., robots, 7th axis slides, conveyors, buffers, robotic end-effectors). Define human and robotic operations in a semi-automatic or automatic cell/line. Verify throughput discrete event simulation (DES) the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposal solution whether in the proposal phase or in a more advanced engineering phase. Effectively use historical data analysis for DES model inputs. Perform data collection, data analysis, and preparation of model specifications. Collect existing manufacturing process and system performance data based on project needs. Develops and/or updates computer-based simulation models of material handling systems. Setup and administer simulation scenarios and experiment statistical run. Perform, present, and interpret simulation results to Comau colleagues.
