Junior Simulation Engineer
Job Description
Do you enjoy solving and optimizing logistic puzzles? Are you a communicative analyst who wants to develop his/her technical knowledge in a young and enthusiastic team?
Our drive is not to simply simulate and confirm that the system meets performance requirements. No, our 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 optimize for sustainability? Can we challenge the (internal) customer on assumptions, operation, design, process etc?
Everything supports our why: We help create the best Material Handling Solutions by solving the world's coolest puzzles!

With your analytical skills and proactive attitude, you optimize the system and identify bottlenecks prior to installation at the customer site. You develop 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.
Your department
