Senior Industrial Simulation Developer

Senior Industrial Simulation Developer

Join to apply for the Senior Industrial Simulation Developer role at Rockwell Automation.

Rockwell Automation is a global technology leader focused on helping the world’s manufacturers be more productive, sustainable, and agile. We welcome all makers, forward thinkers, and problem solvers who are looking for a place to do their best work. If that’s you, we would love to have you join us!

As a Senior Industrial Simulation Developer at OTTO By Rockwell Automation, you will create and run simulations that help the team optimize robot fleets and system solutions. You will be a subject matter expert in the Industrial Simulation and Analytics Services (ISA) team, leading modeling and simulation projects and consulting directly with and for our customers. The ISA team works closely with Systems Engineering, Applications Engineering, Project Management, and Customers to support overall solution design from concept to deployment.

You will build material flow strategies based on self‑driving vehicles for products that exist and those that do not yet exist, and develop accurate simulations to evaluate design, reduce risk, and enhance our solutions.

• Creating discrete event simulations for material handling systems to determine equipment, layout, and operation requirements, identify traffic bottlenecks, and gain insight into expected performance.
• Consulting with project leads, sales team members, and customers to understand requirements and gather necessary inputs.
• Analyzing results and making recommendations for facility layout and material flow design.
• Presenting simulation results to our engineering team, sales team, and clients.
• Validating models against real‑world data to maintain accuracy relative to the product portfolio.
• Troubleshooting simulation issues and bugs.
• Growing and improving our simulation library and internal templates for functionality, accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.
• Interacting with the development team to assess the impact of new features or products.
