Senior Conveyor Systems Lead & Product Engineer

Job description, responsibilities and duties

Warehouse automation is being developed through cutting-edge robotic solutions and intelligent systems that power advanced fulfillment centers. New products require a seamless "circulatory system": conveyors.

We are looking for a Senior Conveyor Systems Lead to own the evolution of the conveyor portfolio. You aren’t just a designer; you are a product visionary and a technical powerhouse who will define how robots interact with the physical flow of totes. If you have a "problem-solver" DNA and an obsession with innovative material handling, we want you in the team.

As the Senior Conveyor Systems Lead, you will be the internal SME for all things moving on belts, rollers, and chains. You will lead the integration of a new product into existing and new conveyor ecosystems. This role sits at the intersection of Product Development, Mechanical Design, and Project Execution — ensuring that every tote reaches its destination with surgical precision.

Core responsibilities

Product Vision & Design

• Lead the mechanical design and "productization" of conveyor modules, ensuring they are modular, scalable, and "robot-ready."

System Integration

• Own the technical interface between ASRS/AMR systems and conveyor lines, ensuring seamless tote supply and discharge.

Technical Leadership

• Act as the "Lead Engineer" for conveyor projects, translating complex customer requirements into actionable engineering specifications and 3D CAD models.

Innovation & R&D

• Drive a "hard work, high innovation" mindset to develop custom conveyor add-ons, including diverters, lifts, and specialized transfers, that don't exist on the market yet.

End-to-End Lifecycle

• Manage the journey from conceptual layout and flow calculations to vendor selection, FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), and on-site commissioning.

Vendor & Partner Management

• Evaluate and manage global conveyor OEMs, ensuring their equipment meets high standards for speed and reliability.

DFMA & Optimization

• Apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly principles to ensure conveyor solutions are cost-effective and easy to maintain.

Requirements

The Expertise

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar, with 5+ years of deep experience specifically in conveyor systems, including roller, belt, sorters, and spiral systems.
