We are seeking a talented, motivated, and experienced interdisciplinary engineer to lead design assurance reviews for next-generation warehouse automation systems. The ideal candidate must have expert knowledge of PLC programming (Allen Bradley, Siemens), electrical hardware design, and industrial networking protocols (EtherNet/IP, Profinet). Reporting to the Manager of Product Development, you will apply design for X (DFx) principles during new product introduction (NPI), develop control systems, and integrate customer scaling requirements for safety, manufacturability, deployability, and supportability. You will work cross-functionally to develop best-in-class DFx feedback and services, guide product lifecycle changes, and drive technical root cause analysis.Key job responsibilities- Identify and drive the implementation of the latest robotics technologies, algorithms, and techniques to enhance product capabilities
- Mentor junior engineers, foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation
- Clearly communicate technical roadmaps, design decisions, and project status to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends and contribute to the advancement of the robotics field
- Provide design for X guidance/feedback on electromechanical designs with a concentration of detailed DFD/DFS feedback with engineering recommendations and drive them to implementation.
- Identify risk to programs and provide mitigation strategies.
- Evaluate and approve Design Engineering Changes Orders (DECOs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
- Implement best practices for engineering standards (ex. IPC-620 WHMA Class II)
- Analyze NPI failures to identify root cause and drive improvements through future DFx cycles.- Take ownership to identify issues/problems and drives them to completion with little oversight- Navigate projects consisting of a high level of ambiguity and provide guidance to multiple partners.
- Up to 30% travel required (domestic and international).
