About The Position
The Senior Automation Engineer – Warehouse Automation Software, Integration & Digital Twin is responsible for designing, analyzing, modifying, and integrating advanced robotics, automated material-handling technologies, and digital-twin simulations to optimize warehouse operations. The role oversees warehouse equipment and software integration, develops preventive-maintenance strategies, and implements rapid interim solutions for system disruptions or safety risks. Serving as a technical lead, this engineer drives system-reliability improvements, enforces configuration controls, and ensures complex software-hardware interfaces operate according to standard operating procedures. The role also applies automation software architecture, control systems, predictive digital-twin modeling, and data-driven analytics to improve throughput, safety, and system availability while mentoring team members and coordinating across engineering functions.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Robotics, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 5–8 years of experience in warehouse automation engineering, system integration, software controls, or digital-twin development.
- Demonstrated experience developing, testing, and validating preventive-maintenance plans and emergency safety protocols for automated equipment.
- Experience managing software and engineering change controls in accordance with standard operating procedures.
- Experience defining system-level test plans and driving data-driven continuous-improvement initiatives.
- Expert knowledge of warehouse automation systems, control architectures, robotics, and digital-twin simulation tools.
- Strong proficiency in software-to-hardware integration, data visualization, and statistical modeling for system-performance optimization.
- Ability to lead complex root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions in automated warehouse environments.
- Excellent technical writing skills for test plans, validation strategies, and system configuration documentation.
