Job description

Role Overview: We are seeking a motivated Systems Planning Engineer (Solution Design Engineer) to join our growing technical team in Malaysia. Working closely with the Systems Integration Manager and HQ engineering teams, you will support the planning, layout drafting, data analysis, and technical documentation of automated warehousing (AS/RS) and intralogistics projects across the region.

Key Responsibilities

Layout Design & CAD Drafting: Prepare and modify 2D/3D engineering layouts for automated warehousing and factory logistics systems (e.g., AS/RS, stacker cranes, shuttles, AGV/AMR, and conveyor lines) using AutoCAD.

Data Analysis & Throughput Calculation: Clean and analyze customer logistics data (SKU dimensions, inventory capacity, inbound/outbound throughput, and peak order profiles) to support equipment sizing and cycle‑time calculations.

Proposal & Documentation Support: Assist in compiling technical proposals, Bill of Materials (BOM) / equipment lists, technical specifications, and client presentation decks for pre‑sales bidding and project execution.

Site Survey & Field Support: Participate in customer site visits to take building measurements, verify facility constraints (floor flatness, column grids, power/fire safety clearances), and document site conditions.

Cross-Team Technical Alignment: Coordinate daily technical details, drawing revisions, and equipment parameters between local project teams, regional vendors, and HQ R&D/planning departments.

Ad‑hoc Engineering Tasks: Support the Systems Integration Manager with technical translations, document archiving, and other assigned engineering duties.

Experience: At least 1 year of relevant experience in logistics layout planning, mechanical/CAD drafting, industrial engineering (IE), or warehouse automation. Outstanding fresh graduates with relevant internship experience in MHE/automation are also welcome to apply.

Technical Skills

Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D layout drawing and modification is mandatory; 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks/SketchUp or simulation tools is an added advantage).

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel (for logistics data analysis, throughput tables, and BOM preparation) and PowerPoint (for solution presentation).

Basic understanding of warehousing workflows, industrial automation, or Material Handling Equipment (MHE) such as racking systems, conveyors, AGVs, or AS/RS.

Ability to read and interpret mechanical/architectural blueprints and facility layout drawings.

Soft Skills

Strong numerical sense, logical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail in drawings and data.

Proactive learning attitude, good team spirit, and ability to work effectively under project deadlines.

Clear communication skills to collaborate with internal engineers and external clients.

Language & Mobility

Proficiency in English (required for preparing technical documents and client materials).
