About The Role
You will be the remote technical design engine behind our sales team. Our sales engineers gather drawings, operational data and requirements from customers and pass them to you. You will turn this information into integrated fixed and mobile automation concepts, size and cost them with our engineering partners in Europe and China, and produce the layouts and proposals our sales team takes to customers. You will join customer video calls when needed to clarify requirements or present solutions.
What You Will Do
-
Review customer drawings, operational data and requirements supplied by the sales team; identify gaps and specify what additional information sales should collect.

-
Develop integrated solution concepts combining AMRs/AGVs, shuttle systems, AS/RS, vertical lift modules, conveyors, racking and dock automation.
-
Produce layouts, material-flow diagrams and throughput and capacity calculations; use simulation where needed to validate performance.
-
Define the software architecture across WMS, WCS and fleet management, including interfaces to the customer's ERP or WMS.

Strong data analysis skills in Excel (pivot tables, SKU and order profiling, throughput modelling).
-
Proficiency in AutoCAD for layouts; working knowledge of 3D or simulation tools.
-
Understanding of WMS/WCS functions, system interfaces (APIs, middleware) and basic PLC and controls concepts.
-
Ability to design confidently from drawings and data gathered by others, and to ask the right questions to close information gaps.
