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
