Job Description
A global leader in robotics and automation is seeking a Simulation Engineer to join their breakthrough 3D Simulation Team in Westborough, MA. In this transformative, hands-on position, you’ll help model and validate the next generation of robotic manufacturing and operational systems—empowering industry-changing innovation before a single part is built.
You’ll collaborate daily with process engineers, designers, and operations experts, leveraging advanced 3D simulation and modeling tools to influence decision-making and accelerate complex engineering challenges. Your work will directly drive process optimization, safety improvements, and design enhancements in a fast-paced, inclusive environment committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics and supply chain efficiency.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong background in building and verifying 3D simulation models for industrial systems, manufacturing, or supply chain environments
- Hands-on experience with advanced plant simulation, process modeling, or discrete-event simulation tools
- In-depth knowledge of material flow, layout optimization, manufacturing processes, or assembly operations
- Demonstrated ability to interpret simulation data, identify bottlenecks, and turn insights into practical recommendations
- Proven collaboration skills in diverse engineering environments
- Exceptional written and verbal communication
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, robotics, computer science, industrial engineering, or related field
Desired Skills & Experience
- Exposure to robotics, automation, or mechatronic system design
- Experience with ergonomic analysis, scenario planning, or process simulation for operational improvement
- Familiarity developing process standards and simulation best practices
- Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to both expert and non-technical audiences
What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities:
100% Hands On
- Develop, test, and optimize virtual simulations for robotics solutions and facility layouts
- Analyze process flows, assembly operations, and new workflows to drive continuous improvement
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to iterate designs and implementation strategies
- Establish standards and enhance best practices across the simulation team
- Communicate insights and actionable recommendations to project teams and key decision makers
The Offer
- Competitive base salary (approx. $117,000–$160,000/year)
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- 401(k) with employer match
- Ongoing opportunities for growth in a pioneering robotics organization
