Amazon Simulation Engineer RMTO Process Engineering 

United States, Massachusetts 

759846373

In this role, you'll create high-fidelity virtual environments that mirror real-world operations using plant simulation and process simulation software. Through detailed discrete-event modeling, you'll analyze production capacity, optimize facility layouts, and validate material flows to drive plant-level decisions that enhance operational efficiency. You'll conduct virtual builds, validate assembly processes, and perform ergonomic assessments to help us design and establish robust manufacturing processes. These capabilities help transform how we approach manufacturing challenges - dramatically reducing risks and costs while maximizing productivity.
