POSITION INFO:
The Application Engineer - Intralogistics Solutions is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing innovative intralogistics systems, including automated material‑handling solutions, warehouse layouts, storage technologies, and conveyor\/automation systems. This role combines engineering expertise with customer facing solution design to create efficient, cost‑effective, and technically robust proposals that meet customer operational requirements. Solution Design & Engineering - Design complete intralogistics solutions, including material‑flow strategies, storage systems (ASRS, racking, shuttle systems), conveyor lines, AGV\/AMR layouts, and sortation technologies. - Analyse customer operations, product flows, handling requirements, and throughput data to develop optimized engineering concepts. - Produce 2D\/3D layouts, system simulations, and technical documentation using CAD and relevant design tools. - Size equipment (motors, conveyors, pallet-handling, shuttles, etc.) and calculate system capacity, throughput, and performance parameters. - Ensure designs comply with safety standards, industry norms, and internal engineering guidelines. Technical Pre‑Sales Support - Support the sales team with technical expertise during customer meetings, site visits, and solution workshops. - Prepare professional proposals, concept documents, and cost estimates (BOMs, system pricing, and feasibility analyses). - Present solution concepts to customers, internal stakeholders, and management Project Collaboration - Work closely with mechanical\/electrical engineering teams, project managers, and software\/controls specialists to ensure engineered solutions are technically aligned. - Participate in handover meetings from pre‑sales to project execution. - Provide design clarifications and technical support during project implementation Analysis & Optimization - Perform layout studies, process mapping, cycle‑time calculations, and bottleneck analysis. - Simulate warehouse and material flow scenarios using modelling software (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, WMS\/WCS simulation tools). - Seek continuous improvement opportunities within existing or proposed solutions. Documentation & Compliance - Develop detailed engineering documentation, including layout drawings, data sheets, risk assessments, and design specifications. - Maintain accurate version control and adhere to internal engineering standards and approval processes. Minimum Requirements - Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or related field. - 2-5+ years' experience in intralogistics, warehouse automation, or material‑handling system design. - Proficiency in CAD tools (AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar). - Strong analytical skills and ability to interpret complex operational data. - Experience designing conveyor systems, racking layouts, or automated storage system Please send your cv to
