About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop and maintain standard conveyor architecture, reusable building blocks, layout rules, and interface requirements for the Stride product platform
Establish and document technical standards, reference layouts, design templates, and simulation assumptions
Lead simulation, system behavior, and trade study efforts evaluating conveyor topology, accumulation, buffering, station-to-station flow, equipment selection, footprint, cost, throughput, robustness, bottlenecks, and layout alternatives
Develop and maintain simulation models, reusable simulation components, and validation methods
Partner with Controls and Software teams to align conveyor architecture and simulation models with sensing, PLC/control logic, fault recovery, traffic management, and system behavior
Partner with Applications Engineering on solution viability reviews
Partner with Solutions Architecture on design guidance, layout constraints, and customer-facing system layouts
Evaluate third-party conveyor components, vendor capabilities, and integration approaches
Translate deployment feedback, customer constraints, field issues, and manufacturing lessons into improved standards and productized design updates
Maintain conveyor and simulation documentation, including standard layouts, interface control documents, design guides, modeling assumptions, validation methods, and engineering decision records
Provide technical leadership and mentorship in conveyor optimization, simulation methods, and cross-functional design decisions

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience with conveyor design, accumulation, buffering, merges, diverts, station interfaces, equipment utilization, and material flow constraints
Experience with AutoCAD or a similar 2D/3D layout tool
Experience with Emulate3D / Sim3D by Rockwell Automation or a similar simulation/modeling tool
Strong understanding of throughput, bottlenecks, service access, safety, installation, maintainability, MTBF/MTTR, OEE, and operational robustness
Ability to make clear engineering tradeoffs across performance, cost, footprint, manufacturability, serviceability, customer requirements, and system behavior
Experience providing technical leadership to engineers, including setting direction, reviewing work, mentoring team members, and coordinating execution across disciplines
Ability to define and communicate technical strategy, assumptions, priorities, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Demonstrated ability to work effectively across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, operations, applications, and solutions architecture teams
PLC experience or strong familiarity with industrial controls systems
Experience working with conveyor vendors, systems integrators, installation teams, customer site engineering teams, or automation partners
Experience developing standards, design guides, templates, or reusable engineering tools
Experience with Python and/or C++ for simulation, automation, data analysis, tooling, or performance profiling
Experience with Nvidia Omniverse, digital twins, virtual commissioning, MBSE tools, or other system modeling frameworks
Experience developing reusable simulation components, APIs, SDKs, or modeling tools
Experience with robotics simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, software-in-the-loop testing, or production software integration
Experience designing conveyor systems for robotic automation, fulfillment, parcel, logistics, manufacturing, or warehouse automation environments
Experience integrating conveyor systems with robots, sorters, scanners, sensors, PLCs, safety systems, WMS/WES/WCS platforms, or customer facility controls
Familiarity with Git, Jira, Linux / Ubuntu environments, CI/CD practices, code reviews, or modern software development workflows
Bachelor's degree in a related technical field is preferred
