About the Role

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to support the design and development of advanced material handling and warehouse automation systems. This role focuses on high-throughput sortation solutions used in distribution centers, fulfillment hubs, and logistics operations. You will play a key role in delivering efficient, scalable, and reliable systems that optimize product flow and operational performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and engineer mechanical systems for warehouse automation, including conveyors (belt, roller, MDR), sorters (crossbelt, tilt-tray, shoe sorters), merges, diverts, and accumulation systems
  • Develop detailed 3D CAD models, layouts, and fabrication drawings for production and installation
  • Participate in system layout planning for distribution centers, ensuring optimal space utilization and throughput
  • Collaborate with controls, electrical, and software teams to integrate mechanical systems with automation and control architecture
  • Conduct design calculations (throughput, load capacity, motor sizing, structural integrity) to validate system performance
  • Support factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT), including commissioning and troubleshooting
  • Analyze system bottlenecks and implement design improvements to enhance efficiency, reliability, and maintainability
  • Work with vendors and suppliers to specify components and ensure quality standards
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and ergonomic considerations
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and cost optimization efforts

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
  • 3-5+ years of experience in material handling, intralogistics, or warehouse automation systems
  • Strong proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD)
  • Solid understanding of conveyor systems, sortation equipment, and mechanical design fundamentals
  • Experience with system layouts for warehouses or distribution centers
  • Ability to interpret technical specifications, schematics, and equipment standards
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a hands-on engineering mindset
  • Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with high-speed sortation systems (e.g., e-commerce or parcel handling environments)
  • Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools (FEA, throughput modeling)
  • Exposure to PLC-controlled systems and automation integration
  • Knowledge of international standards (e.g., ISO, FEM, OSHA or equivalent safety frameworks)
  • Experience working on large-scale warehouse or fulfillment center projects
  • Understanding of lifecycle costing and system scalability considerations
