**Edit 1:** Indeed, my previous suggestion was not good. As it has been pointed out to me by  Dongryul Kim, the parallelotopes should be finitely many. I have overlooked that. Maybe this could work? 

Construction 1: 

In the case of a triangle $ABC$ we define a parallelogram at vertex $A$ to be a parallelogram constructed as follows: pick a point $Q$ on $BC$ and draw the two lines parallel to $AB$ and $AC$.

Induction: Take a $d-1$ face $f$ of the $d$-simplex and the opposite vertex $v$ (the one vertex which is not on $f$). Take a vertex $w$ of $f$. Look at the edge $vw$. Take a point $p$ on $vw$ and draw the hyper-plane $L$ through $p$ parallel to $f$. $L$ intersects the simplex in a $d-1$ simplex $f'$ similar to $f$ (actually homothetic from vertex $v$). Draw the parallelotope on $f'$ with vertex $p$ (see first step above or inductive step). Translate it to $f$ by the vector $\overrightarrow{pw}$ to obtain the desired $d$-dimensional parallelotope at vertex $w$.



Construction 2:

A parallelogram sitting on the edge $AB$ of triangle $ABC$ is a parallelogram defined as follows: Take midpoint $M$ on $AB$ and pick a point $Q$ on $CM$. Draw line parallel to $AB$ to form a segment parallel to $AB$ and then translate it down to $AB$ with vector $\overrightarrow{QM}$. 

Induction: Pick a face $d-1$ dimensional face $f$ of the $d$-simplex and let $v$ be the vertex opposite to it (like before). Let $M$ be the barycenter of $f$ and choose a point $p$ on $vM$. Draw a $d-1$ hyperplane $L$ through $p$ parallel to $f$. $L$ intersects the $d$-simplex in a $d-1$ simplex $f'$ homothetic to $f$ (and parallel). choose a $d-2$ face $f''$ of $f'$ and draw the parallelotope sitting on $f''$ by induction. Now, translate it via the vector $\overrightarrow{pM}$ to $f$. Thus, one obtains a $d$-parallelotope sitting on $f$.     

Seem like using these two procedures one can cover the simplex with finitely many parallelotopes for large enough $N$, by various combinations of face $f$, vertex $w \in f$ and point $p \in vw$ choices. Like various midpoints / barycenters for instance. Maybe only the first procedure is enough, but the second may lower the number of parallelotopes. I guess it depends on the problem. Do we need an estimate on the number $N$ in terms of $d$?
