• A BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field, with strong writing and presentation skills that turn complex technical information into clear, concise communications for engineers and executives alike
• Experience building executive-level business cases and ROI models
• Working familiarity with MSAs/SOWs and multi-site enterprise contract structures, 2D CAD experience (AutoCAD LT, BricsCAD, or similar), and strong Excel or Google Sheets proficiency
• (BONUS) Experience specifying WCS/WMS integrations, familiarity with DC design and operational KPIs, or existing relationships with supply chain and automation leaders at Tier 1 accounts
