Simulation Engineer

The principal duties for this position include using IDEAS Dynamic Simulation Software to model various unit operations in the Feed and Biofuel industry. These Digital Twins will be used to optimize plant performance, validate P&ID and PLC/DCS logic, and create an Operator Training Simulator (OTS).

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Design and Engineering Validation; Utilize IDEAS software to simulate and validate engineering designs at early stages, ensuring that any potential issues are identified and addressed efficiently.

Strategy Development: Collaborate with control engineering teams to integrate and test control logic within the simulation to ensure optimal plant operation.

Concept Testing: Use simulation outcomes to make informed decisions on design modifications or enhancements with minimal risk.

Logic Checkout and Validation; Stage, test, and validate Distributed Control System (DCS) logic within the IDEAS environment to ensure control systems are error-free and fully functional before implementation.

Training and Simulation; Develop and implement operator training simulators using IDEAS, providing a safe and effective environment for training plant operators on both normal and emergency procedures. Update and refine training modules based on evolving plant designs and operational strategies.

Learning and Improvement; Stay updated with the latest developments in simulation technology, particularly enhancements to the IDEAS software, to continuously improve simulation accuracy and effectiveness. Share knowledge and best practices with colleagues to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the organization.
