Job Description

• Conduct site visits and facility assessments, capturing measurements, material flow data, and operational insights that inform design and ROI analysis. • Build cost models and performance analyses to compare technologies such as ASRS, AMRs, conveyors, and manual handling options. • Develop AutoCAD layouts showing equipment interfaces, racking configurations, conveyor routing, and operator interaction points. • Identify and partner with OEMs and technology providers (conveyors, ASRS, robotics, controls, racking) to source and quote solutions that best align with each client’s operational goals. • Collaborate with suppliers and integration partners to validate specifications for controls, safety systems, and equipment integration. • Contribute to client presentations, proposals, and reports with clear visuals and data-backed recommendations. • Participate in internal design reviews and help refine Forge’s standard tool sets and templates for scalable, repeatable system design.

Job Requirements

  • 3+ years experience in automation engineering, systems integration, or facility design for warehouse or manufacturing operations.
  • Working knowledge of conveyors, racking systems, ASRS (automated storage & retrieval), and controls integration — ideally with exposure to both mechanical and electrical interfaces.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD for layout work and Excel / Power BI for modeling and analysis.
  • Strong understanding of material flow, throughput, and system balancing principles.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Naturally curious, detail-driven, and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Willingness to travel up to 75% for site walks, client workshops, and design coordination.
  • Familiarity with automotive or tier-1 manufacturing operations is a plus, but not required.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plans
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
