Factory Simulation & Analysis Engineer

Job description

Description

The Role

Job Title: Factory Simulation and Analysis Engineer

Location: Primarily working in Buffalo, New York with up to 20% domestic travel to Reno, NV and the Bay Area.

Team: Factory Design- Modeling (w/ focus on Buffalo Gigafactory 2)

Responsibilities

·  Develop analysis and models to enable factory design improvements:
·  Factory cost model: understand largest cost drivers and identify low hanging fruits for cost reduction. Help identify and quantify cost impact of factory layout optimization, manufacturing and utility systems design improvements
·  Model utility systems to understand energy and utility use, optimize equipment design and control strategy
·  Model manufacturing processes to identify and quantify design and operational improvements leading to higher quality, throughput and lower cost.
·  Collaborate with industrial engineers on discrete event simulation of the factory to balance production rate across processes, understand material flow, determine buffer requirements and maximize factory throughput.

Desired profile

Requirements

·  Required Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering. Master’s degree or PhD preferred. Strong academic record expected.
·  Evidence of exceptional ability.
·  Education/work experience must include product design.
·  High energy individual, questions industry standard / state of the art, drives towards optimal solution from a 1 st principle point of view.
·  Strong technical problem solver, system level thinker capable of identifying highest impact projects and making complex trade offs.
·  Strong engineering fundamentals relevant to solar manufacturing processes & utility systems: heat transfer, thermodynamics, mechanics, fluid mechanics, chemistry, gas & liquid phase separation, etc. Able to leverage existing skill set on a wide range of physics application problems.
·  Analytical and quantitative mindset.
·  Good at building relationships and working effectively with multiple and diverse teams. Eager to discuss engineering challenges with project stakeholders to develop most effective analysis to improve factory design.
·  Strong scientific programming skills (generic knowledge more valuable than experience with specific tools, exposure to Matlab / Simulink, Python, EES or equivalent is a plus).
·  Exposure to PV fundamentals (solid state physics, cell design, manufacturing techniques), factory engineering, manufacturing equipment design, high throughput manufacturing is advantageous.
