Process Simulation Engineer
Schenectady, NY - USA
Job Summary
Roles and Responsibilities
Model Architecture: Develop high-fidelity simulations replicating complex business environments (supply chains operational workflows market/demand shifts) grounded in a detailed understanding of current-state (as-is) operations Scenario Analysis: Use models to stress-test initiatives quantify risk and project the impact of variables like resource constraints OEE drift or economic fluctuations Translating Insights: Convert raw stochastic simulation outputs into clear objective decision-ready recommendations for executives and program leadership. Support the lean transformation roadmap by validating process and capacity scenarios ahead of investment decisions Build high-value business cases for capital investment (headcount layout capacity) grounded in simulation-validated data Support Kaizens and continuous improvement projects with scenario modeling what-if analysis and efficiency recommendations Validate and refine models iteratively against real production data to maintain accuracy over time
Required Qualifications

- Experience with data cleaning and statistical analysis such as t-testing ANOVA and regression.
- Demonstrated ability to translate operational data into quantitative models and back into business recommendations
Desired Characteristics
- Experience supporting Greenfield site design Brownfield capacity/efficiency projects or automation business-case validation
- Strong data analysis skills to convert production/operational data into model inputs
- Ability to communicate complex stochastic simulation results simply and objectively to non-technical/executive stakeholders
- Comfort working directly with plant/site teams to gather ground-truth process data Intellectual curiosity and a builders mindset; energized by creating new modeling approaches and simulation capabilities in a function that is still taking shape rather than following an established playbook
