Responsibilities

- Lead and manage the onsite evaluation team, including AMR Launch Specialists, Controls Engineers, IT Integration Specialists, and Layout Engineers.
- Coordinate team activities, assign tasks, and ensure the quality and efficiency of the onsite assessment process.
- Provide technical guidance and support to team members during evaluations.
- Ensure team safety and adherence to facility protocols while onsite.
- Evaluate physical conditions such as flooring quality (levelness, cracks, expansion joints), lighting levels (impact on vision‑based navigation), aisle widths, door clearances, and potential obstacles.
- Assess existing infrastructure, including Wi‑Fi coverage, network drops, power availability for charging, and accessibility to elevators or ramps.
- Lead the detailed analysis of current material handling processes within the facility.
- Map existing material flow paths, identifying sources, destinations, frequencies, volumes, and types of materials moved.
- Analyze current pain points, bottlenecks, and opportunities for automation using AMRs.
- Quantify movement data (distances, times, quantities) to build a baseline for comparison.

Requirements

- Require a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field (like Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related technical discipline).
- Strong technical foundation is essential.
- Experience in Manufacturing/Industrial Environments:
- Proven experience working within manufacturing, production, or logistics/warehousing facilities.



This is crucial because the role involves evaluating real‑world plant conditions and processes.
- Experience with material handling processes and systems is highly beneficial.
- Direct experience with automation technologies, particularly robotics or Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), is a major requirement. Understanding how they work, their capabilities, limitations, and implementation challenges is key.
- Experience in evaluating, designing, or deploying automation solutions would be very relevant.
- Demonstrated experience leading technical teams. The job explicitly states leading an onsite evaluation team.
- Ability to coordinate tasks, manage team members, provide technical guidance, and ensure team safety and efficiency.
- Experience conducting technical site surveys or evaluations.
- Ability to assess physical infrastructure (flooring, lighting, network, power, etc.) and understand how it impacts automation technology.
- Strong analytical skills, particularly in analyzing material flow processes, identifying bottlenecks, and mapping existing workflows (e.g., Value Stream Mapping, process mapping).
- Ability to collect and quantify data related to material movement.




- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders within a plant environment (e.g., Industrial Engineers, Manufacturing Planning & Logistics, Plant IT, operators, supervisors). Serving as a primary technical point of contact requires strong interpersonal skills.
- Experience conducting interviews or workshops to gather requirements and insights.
- Ability to translate findings from evaluations and process analysis into conceptual automation solutions using AMRs.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to assess the technical and operational feasibility of proposed solutions.
- Ability to compare different AMR platforms and determine the best fit based on requirements and facility constraints. Knowledge of different AMR navigation technologies (LiDAR, vision, etc.) is likely needed.
- Experience creating detailed technical reports, summarizing findings, and documenting proposed solutions (including diagrams or layouts).
- Ability to present findings and recommendations clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences.
