A market leading global logistics organisation seeks a highly motivated and detail-oriented Junior Simulation Engineer to join their dynamic team based at Heathrow Airport.
Do you enjoy solving and optimising logistic puzzles?
Are you a communicative analyst who wants to develop his/her technical knowledge in an enthusiastic team?
Their drive is not to simply simulate and confirm that the system meets performance requirements. No, their drive is to always look for the better solution and to develop tools and processes to do so. What can be improved? Where are the bottlenecks? Which system parts are over-designed? How do we optimise for sustainability? Can we challenge the (internal) customer on assumptions, operational parameters, design, processes etc?
Role Responsibilities- You will use 3D simulation software to analyse and solve complex logistic problems.
- Involvement with optimisation of the system and identify bottlenecks prior to installation at the customer site.
- Support in developing conceptual improvements to control strategies and provide customers with tailored advice by thinking creatively when developing your simulation model.
- After you have gained more experience, your communication skills will enable you to act as a link between the different disciplines involved when working on larger projects.
- Qualification in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Operational Research, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or similar.
- Entry level - applications from BSc, MSc and PhD all considered
- Knowledge of simulation, queuing theory, quantitative analysis techniques and logical thinking
- Understanding of programming and at least some experience in programming languages like Matlab, VBA, JAVA, Python, etc.
- Preferably 0-2 years relevant experience.
- Willing to travel occasionally
