Simulation Solution Architect/Expert

As a highly experienced Simulation Architect / Solution Expert, your role will involve designing and implementing advanced simulation solutions for Rolling Stock and Components. You will be responsible for defining simulation strategies, managing roadmaps, and ensuring seamless integration within the PLM ecosystem. Key Responsibilities: - Consolidate and maintain the roadmap for assigned simulation domains (e.g., FEA, CFD, MBD), including requirements, business cases, high-level solution design, cost estimation, and planning. Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure timely delivery. - Oversee assigned simulation domains, ensuring quality and on-time delivery of projects. Engage with Business Process Owners (BPOs) to understand pain points and requirements through regular governance meetings. - Work closely with simulation BPOs and PLM teams to build strategies to integrate simulation data and tools into the CLIENT PLM ecosystem. - Contribute to building and evolving the simulation strategy aligned with CLIENT future vision, optimizing application landscapes, harmonizing HPC platforms, and ensuring PLM integration. - Build strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers to leverage cutting-edge simulation technologies, accelerating time-to-market for CLIENT rolling stocks and components. - Define requirements and solutions prior to project launch. Partner with project/program management to ensure scope adherence, timely delivery, and quality outcomes. - Assess and rationalize simulation applications within assigned domains to align with long-term strategic goals of CLIENT. - Gather global stakeholder needs and translate user stories into clear, actionable functional requirements. - Define functional architecture and evaluate internal/external solutions for feasibility, performance, and cost-effectiveness. - Address day-to-day issues related to simulation solutions in coordination with stakeholders. - Ensure timely renewal of simulation software licenses, monitor usage, and develop strategies to optimize contracts in collaboration with sourcing and other IS&T teams. Key Requirements: - Degree in Mechanical Engineering or any other relevant discipline. - Minimum 10 years of experience in defining and implementing simulation solutions. - Hands-on experience with simulation tools (Altair, Siemens, Dassault, etc.). - Knowledge of HPC and cloud-based simulation solutions. - Familiarity with CAE application architecture and administration. - Experience of simulation integration in PLM (3D Experience) is preferred. - PMP or equivalent project management certification (preferred). Nice to Have: - Strong oral and written communication. - Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management. - Business value oriented and results-driven approach. - Ability to manage ambiguity and complexity. - Good negotiation skills. - Financial acumen.
