About The Position

Are you an innovative leader that wants to design the next generation of
world-class fulfillment centers and logistics systems across the globe? Do you
want a high level of ownership in solving complex problems? Does the challenge
of designing systems that leverage ground breaking automated material handling
equipment, packaging technologies and robotics appeal to you? If so, we have the
job for you!

We’re looking to add a handful of high-impact engineers to our team. In this
role, you will collaborate with internal and external teams to design high
quality, cost effective solutions for our fulfillment and distribution systems.
You will own multiple projects simultaneously, from concept realization through
design approval. You will be our suppliers’ primary point of technical contact
for your projects. Then, once the design is completed and approved, you will
hand-off the project to our Ops Engineering team who will oversee the
installation and commissioning of the project. You’ll support that team to
ensure that the system you’ve designed is successfully installed, commissioned
and launched.

Your projects may include green-fields, brown-fields, and retrofits, including
highly automated fulfillment centers, cross-dock facilities, and transportation
centers. Your projects will be a variety of template-based and
designed-from-scratch.

You will work with a team of highly skilled and highly engaged engineers in a
fast-paced and often ambiguous environment. Our team works on hundreds of
projects each year. You will be challenged; you will learn; you will work on
high impact, high visibility projects; you will grow.
