Full Job Description
We are seeking a seasoned systems engineering leader to join our team to build the first software defined end-to-end, automated fulfillment system. Be a systems leader that serves as a guidepost for the engineering team as the materials handling industry transforms from mechanical to robotic and software-defined. This is a rare opportunity to get in early and partner with all of our cross-functional departments (mechanical, electrical, controls, and software systems) at the system level to work cohesively together as one single complex system. This is a hands on role tackling complex system design issues at scale with the opportunity to create an unprecedented single end-to-end fulfillment system.

Responsibilities
  • Develop, track, and be responsible for creating system-level engineering specifications from market/business requirements
  • Lead a team, consisting of direct and/or matrixed reports
  • Develop complex system/product development plans
  • Find and fill in all the gaps that are not captured uniquely by hardware, software, or controls disciplines
  • Develop interface specifications between system components
  • Create system-level Theory of Operations documents touching on mechanical, electrical, controls, and software
  • Develop system level safety architecture with Head of Controls and Head of Electrical
  • Help architect complex mechatronic and enterprise-level systems
  • Work closely with design engineers during all phases of product development to ensure that the mechanical, electrical, controls, and software systems will operate properly together as a single, complex system
  • Establish system reliability/availability/maintainability metrics
  • Establish standards for development of complex systems and how we will document system interfaces, communication protocols
  • Ensure that products are designed with future needs in mind (e.g., processor selection, motor sizing, board expandability, etc)
  • Conduct system-level design reviews, DFMEA, risk assessments
  • Serve as our expert and go-to person regarding how everything works together
  • Participate in HW and SW design reviews and provide valuable and significant insights
  • Identify system needs/gaps before these create problems; anticipate areas of difficulty that require more attention
  • Lead system-level regulatory and safety compliance efforts

Experience
  • BS in Engineering; mechanical or electrical preferred
  • 15 years working in hardware new product development involving electrical and mechanical assemblies and mechanisms, controls systems, and automation/robotics
  • Ability to get into design details with the rest of the design team, having a deep understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering, with knowledge of controls engineering and software engineering
  • Ability to troubleshoot and diagnose problems with mechatronic systems
  • Experience leading teams, delegating tasks, creating team schedules, and setting priorities
  • Significant knowledge of mechanical design, drawing standards, mechanical tolerances and stack-ups, fabrication techniques
  • Significant knowledge of electronics; ability to understand electrical schematics
  • Experience with optical, proximity, IR, LIDAR, ultrasonic, RFID and other sensing technologies typically used in robotics
  • Solid understanding of the general scope of HW and SW product development activities
  • Understanding of and experience with various safety and regulatory compliance requirements (CE, UL, robot, 13849, 62061, etc)
  • Familiarity with wifi networks
  • Hands-on experience building prototypes
  • Experience with SW development, SQA, release practices; coding experience not needed but a major plus
  • Experience with large-scale industrial automation system implementation a major plus
  • Solidworks experience a plus; Onshape experience a major plus
