About the role

You will scope, deploy, and operate AMR fleets, floor conveyance, overhead material movement via cranes / gantries / hoists, and the MES / WMS integration that turns Hadrian's cells into an actual factory instead of a collection of islands.

Scope, select, and commission AMR fleets: vendor trade-off, pilot, volume rollout, fleet-manager configuration, charging / docking, acceptance testing, and ramp support.
Design conveyance runs (belt / roller / chain-on-edge / pallet / lift) for inter-cell and intra-cell flow with cycle-time math, WIP buffers, jam recovery, maintainability, and failure-mode handoff.
Design overhead material movement where floor conveyance or AMRs are the wrong tool: bridge cranes, gantries, hoists, lift assists, below-the-hook tooling, safe zones, and operator workflow.
Own traffic and lift-zone management: intersections, charging zones, docking, crane envelopes, mixed human / robot aisles, pedestrian crossings, suspended-load boundaries, and safety zones.
Partner with cell-level MEs on pickup / dropoff / lift interfaces: dunnage, presentation, hard stops, rigging points, sensors, clearances, and recovery after failed transfers.
Build the material-flow standards and runbook every future factory inherits.
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

Bachelor's in ME, EE, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or related.
Working knowledge of VDA 5050, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, PLC handshakes, and MES / WMS integration.

$140,000 - $220,000 (actual range may vary based on experience)
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
