Key Accountabilities / Essential Functions

Pre-Sales Applications Engineering & Solution Development

• Engage with customers, integrators, and internal sales to define system requirements, performance criteria, constraints, and success measures.

• Develop conceptual system designs (layouts, operating descriptions, control narratives at a high level, throughput assumptions, and equipment selection) aligned to customer needs.

• Perform preliminary engineering calculations and equipment sizing (e.g., conveyor sizing, motor/drive selection, accumulation logic assumptions, capacity/throughput checks).

• Build system Bills of Material (BOM), scope-of-supply definitions, and technical clarifications to support accurate proposals.

• Develop labor/installation assumptions, risk and opportunity assessments, and cost estimates to support quotation accuracy and margin targets.

• Lead/participate in technical reviews, design-to-cost discussions, and bid strategy sessions to improve win rate and profitability.

Proposal & Customer Technical Support

• Create and/or review proposal technical content: system descriptions, compliance statements, assumptions, exclusions, and performance commitments.

• Present solutions to customers (virtual and onsite), including system concepts, value proposition, and technical differentiators.

• Support contract review by ensuring alignment between offered scope, technical requirements, and internal execution capability.

• Collaborate with Sales to respond to RFQs/RFPs, technical questionnaires, and clarification cycles.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Handover to Execution

• Coordinate with engineering, controls, manufacturing/operations, sourcing, and project management to validate feasibility, lead times, and execution plans.

• Support orderly project handoff (scope, assumptions, design basis, risks, and commercial/technical commitments).

• Provide limited post-award technical support to execution teams when needed to protect scope integrity and customer satisfaction.

Continuous Improvement & Market/Portfolio Feedback

• Capture voice-of-customer and competitive insights; provide feedback to product management and leadership on gaps, trends, and growth opportunities.

• Standardize estimating tools, proposal templates, and solution modules to reduce cycle time and improve quoting consistency.

• 3+ years of experience in applications engineering, system sales engineering, solutions development, or design/estimating in material handling/intralogistics.

• Working knowledge of intralogistics equipment and system interactions (e.g., conveyor modules, sortation concepts, accumulation, pallet handling, merges/diverts, transfers).

• Strong customer-facing communication skills: ability to translate operational needs into technical solutions and present them clearly.

• Experience developing cost estimates, BOMs, and scope documents for engineered systems.

• Proficiency with common engineering/office tools (e.g., Excel-based costing, PowerPoint proposals, layout review tools such as AutoCAD/2D layout viewers or equivalent).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting integrators, distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment, parcel, or manufacturing intralogistics operations.

• Familiarity with controls concepts and interfaces (basic PLC/I/O architecture awareness, control narratives, sensor/actuator fundamentals).

• Exposure to throughput modeling, simulation, or capacity analysis tools (as available in the business).

• Experience with CRM and quoting/ERP tools (e.g., Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent).

• Knowledge of relevant safety and compliance expectations for material handling systems (guarding concepts, risk assessment awareness).

Travel: Up to 30–50% (customer sites, internal design reviews, commissioning support as needed)
