Eaton Hiring Associate Engineer Factory Simulation (Pune) | Experienced 0-2 Yrs

What you'll do

You will support Factory Simulation projects across the Industrial & Electrical sector sites as part of the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team. The role focuses on deploying Discrete Event Simulations using ProModel or a similar 2D/3D simulation platform. You will also work with Manufacturing Engineering, CI, Plant OPEX and Industry 4.0 teams globally to understand operations and gather inputs, with the goal of achieving target productivity.

• Develop and maintain Discrete Event Simulation models for manufacturing lines, cells and factory operations using ProModel or comparable platforms.
• Collect and analyze manufacturing inputs such as demand, production routing, cycle time, changeover time, equipment availability, labor allocation, buffer capacity, shift patterns and material movement.
• Work with manufacturing sites and project teams to confirm that simulation inputs, assumptions, constraints and production scenarios are accurate and traceable.
• Support production line design and line-balancing studies based on demand, takt time, process sequence, workstation requirements, operator allocation and equipment capacity.
• Develop current-state and proposed-state process-flow representations for manufacturing lines and cells.
• Support factory and production-area layout development by evaluating equipment placement, workstation arrangement, aisle requirements, storage locations, buffers and operator movement.
• Perform layout optimization studies to improve production flow, space utilization, equipment access, material movement and operational efficiency.
• Build simulation scenarios to evaluate alternative production configurations, staffing levels, equipment quantities, buffer sizes, shift patterns and layout concepts.
• Identify production bottlenecks and capacity constraints using simulation results, process observations and manufacturing data.
• Support equipment and labor-sizing analyses by comparing required demand with available process and resource capacity.
• Analyze material movement between storage, production processes, workstations and finished-goods areas to find excessive travel, waiting, handling, congestion or work-in-process.
• Support the development and evaluation of internal material-flow concepts, including line-side presentation, point-of-use storage, replenishment routes, supermarkets and material-handling methods.
• Compare simulation results with calculated capacity and actual shop-floor performance to verify model accuracy and find improvement opportunities.
• Prepare clear engineering reports and presentations covering assumptions, simulation logic, findings, alternative scenarios, risks and recommendations.
• Maintain version control, model documentation, data sources, assumptions and validation records for simulation and layout studies.
• Take part in site visits, process observations, time studies, technical discussions and project reviews.
• Apply Eaton engineering systems, standards, safety requirements and project processes during model development and project execution.
• Capture lessons learned and help develop reusable simulation-model structures, data templates and Industrial Engineering methods.
