Simulation SME

About Gradera — Digital Twin & Physical AI Platform 

At Gradera, we are building a next-generation Digital Twin and Physical AI platform that enables enterprises to model, simulate, and optimize complex real-world systems. Our work brings together strategy, architecture, data, simulation, and experience design to power decision-making across large-scale operational environments such as manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain networks. 

 

This platform-led initiative applies AI-native execution, advanced simulation, and governed orchestration to help organizations test scenarios, predict outcomes, and continuously improve performance. We operate with an enterprise-first mindset prioritizing reliability, transparency, and measurable business impact as we build intelligent systems that scale beyond a single industry or use case. 

Simulation SME 

Overview 

We are seeking an experienced Simulation & Scenario SME (Subject Matter Expert) to bridge deep operational domain expertise with our simulation engineering capabilities. This is a critical role responsible for ensuring that our digital twin simulations accurately model real-world operations, scenarios are realistic and valuable, and simulation outputs are validated against operational reality. 

You will work at the intersection of domain knowledge and technology — defining simulation scenarios, validating physics and logic models, identifying edge cases, and ensuring simulations deliver actionable insights for operational decision-making. This role partners closely with simulation engineers, data scientists, and client stakeholders. 

Key Focus Areas 

Domain Expertise 

• Deep understanding of complex operations (logistics, supply chain, transportation, energy, utilities, or similar asset-intensive industries) 

• Knowledge of operational workflows, resource scheduling, and capacity planning 

• Understanding of operational constraints, regulations, and safety requirements 

• Familiarity with dispatch, fleet management, or network operations 

Simulation & Scenario Design 

• Scenario definition and use case development for what-if analysis 

• Simulation validation and fidelity assessment 

• Operational constraint modeling and edge case identification 

• Cross-industry simulation pattern recognition 
  
  

Key Responsibilities 

• Define realistic simulation scenarios from operational use cases and business needs 

• Identify and prioritize critical what-if scenarios by business value and impact 

• Build scenario libraries for normal, edge, and stress conditions 

• Translate business questions into simulation experiments and parameters 

• Validate simulations against real-world behavior and historical data 

• Define fidelity benchmarks, acceptance criteria, and approve models for production 

• Translate domain rules, constraints, and heuristics into simulation requirements 

• Ensure simulations meet regulatory, safety, and compliance needs 

• Collaborate with operations, simulation, and data teams on scenarios and KPIs 

• Present results, gather feedback, and evolve scenarios via a continuous roadmap 
  
  

Highly Desirable 

• Experience as SME for digital twin or simulation platform implementations 

• Background in operations research, process optimization, or continuous improvement 

• Familiarity with discrete event simulation concepts and validation approaches 

• Experience with operational planning tools, scheduling systems, or optimization software 

• Knowledge of multiple industry verticals (enables cross-industry pattern recognition) 

• Certifications in operations management, Six Sigma, or related disciplines 
  
  

Preferred Qualifications 

• 10+ years of experience in operations roles within asset-intensive industries 

• Experience with digital transformation, operational analytics, or simulation projects 

• Background in operations management, industrial engineering, or related field 

• Experience defining requirements for software or simulation systems 

• Track record of bridging domain expertise with technology teams 

• Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is a plus
