• Create presentations to support engineering recommendations and present solutions to senior management and customers.
• Conduct feasibility studies to determine the ROI on proposed solutions.
• Participate in customer presentations and proposal reviews.
• Consult with operations personnel to validate that proposed solutions are practical, cost‑effective, and implementable.
• Support RFP responses and proposal development, including scope definition, assumptions, narratives, and technical content.
• Develop facility and automation concepts using CAD and modeling tools, incorporating conveyance, robotics, and complex material handling technologies where applicable.

• Facility layout and automation concept design using CAD and modeling tools.
• Exposure to conveyance systems, robotics, and complex automation solutions.
• Background with a 3PL, systems integrator, or automation/solution vendor.
• Demonstrated success in a hands‑on “doer” role, producing designs and deliverables directly rather than primarily as a people leader.
