LOCATION: Whitley  

Working in Manufacturing at JLR, you'll be the hands-on expert who brings innovation to life. You'll collaborate with a team of expert technicians and problem-solvers and use cutting-edge tools, facilities, and processes engineered together to build era-defining vehicles that people across the world know and love. Your expertise will directly impact the shaping of modern luxury. Together, let’s create the exceptional. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

We are currently hiring for the position of a Discrete Event Simulation Engineer to join the Manufacturing Team here with us at JLR. In the role, you will be responsible for supporting vehicle and system programmes with the DES function, modelling the process flow from concept though to delivery phase.
You will be building and maintaining witness simulation models of programmes and facilities around JLR, mainly within the propulsion environment. You will be liaising with customers to get data, feeding back results, covering the whole breadth of the project from concept to build to delivery. This may include things like looking at what changes are needed on existing projects, assessing if new equipment parts are needed, and how models can be optimized, all using Witness software.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities:
•    Support the DES model generation from concept modelling to fully detailed mimic of the programme / system that meet the design scope, operating principals, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and environment objectives are met.
•    Support the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders 
•    Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints
•    Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions
•    Coordinate projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews / DES Dashboards

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Due to the nature of the positions’ roles and responsibilities, we will require someone who has considerable prior experience with using Witness Horizon Simulation Software, and has used this in a commercial environment. We would also be looking for someone to have prior experience of working on multiple simulation projects. 

•    Demonstrable Working knowledge and experience of Discrete Event Simulation toolset
•    Demonstrable previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.
•    Demonstrable previous experience of bottleneck analysis using Discrete Event Simulation.
•    Thorough Understanding and Application of Lean Tools and Techniques
•    Previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.

We work hard to nurture a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We understand candidates may require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please discuss these with your recruiter so we can accommodate your needs. 

Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome. If you’re unsure that you meet the full criteria of a role – but you're interested in where it could take you – we still encourage you to apply.
