Overview
Simulation Engineer (Digital Twin | Automation) Jobs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam at MiTek Vietnam
Title: Simulation Engineer (Digital Twin | Automation)
Company: MiTek Vietnam
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
About the job
Simulation Engineer supports the development of digital twins for MiTek's automation products. These digital twins enable the testing of HMI software, machine logic, and mechanical designs in a virtual environment, thereby alleviating the need to test on physical systems, which are often limited in availability. They also enable customer support teams to debug customer issues without sending teams onsite, and for potential remote training of machine operators. The Simulation Engineer will collaborate with our Simulations Architect to build the digital twins from the ground up and continue to update them according to the needs of the teams that use them. Additionally, this individual will provide support and training for the engineers who utilize the digital twins.
An effective Simulation Engineer will need to be able to learn new skills and adapt quickly, as each automation system is unique and each corresponding digital twin is highly customized. Depending on the system and the needs of the teams working on it, what worked for one system may not work for another. The Simulations Architect will assist the Simulation Engineer in connecting with cross-functional teams to understand their needs and determine the best strategy for each project. This role demands self-motivation and initiative to be able to make progress when the path forward is unclear, but the Simulation Engineer will have ample support when they need it.
Responsibilities:
- Develop Digital Twins: Create and maintain digital twins for various systems and processes within the company.
- System Design: Collaborate in the overall design of simulation systems.
- Validation and Verification: Simulation results must be validated and verified against real-world data to build trust and ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Highly effective in digesting data and needs and applying solutions as appropriate.
- Develop modelling and simulation tools and/or use industry tools to analyse complex technical problems relating to various automation systems.
- Identify and document significant process, tooling, and layout issues early in the launch process.
- Maintain and improve large-scale simulations to support multiple applications.
- Train users on how to use the digital twins.
- Other reasonable tasks as assigned
