Do you have proven analytical capabilities, exceptional communication, project management skills? We are looking for creative leaders with a passion for innovation, a knack for problem solving, strong ownership, and possess the ability to multi-task and thrive in a fast paced environment.
Key job responsibilities We’re looking to add high-impact engineers to our team to use ground-breaking technologies to develop fulfillment and processing systems on an unprecedented scale. 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 execution 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, reverse logistics, transportation centers, and specialty buildings. 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.
