We are looking for an Engineering Lead to establish and guide a new team, Production Simulation, focused on advancing factory and production line simulation capabilities. This role ensures that our simulation workflows, process modeling tools, and analysis features are robust, efficient, and scalable—empowering customers to design and optimize manufacturing operations with confidence.

You will collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and other engineering leads to deliver core simulation features, including layout planning, material flow analysis, and production performance metrics. The team operates at the heart of our Factory Simulation charter, driving innovation in usability, credibility, and integration with broader manufacturing ecosystems.

Our team size is typically 5–8 people. As this team is created by people coming from outside of the company, we expect you to be able to come to the office 3 days a week to ensure the best possible start and build up the team.

As an Engineering Lead, you will create an environment where people and products flourish. You will keep work flowing, help the team reach decisions, and ensure clarity and trust in how we work together.
