This role focuses on reusable conveyor modules, modularity between station configurations, optimal station-to-station interfaces, simulation-backed layout decisions, and design constraints that improve system functionality and make Stride deployments easier to configure, validate, install, scale, and support.\nThe Conveyor Engineering Lead will partner closely with Solutions Architecture, Applications Engineering, Controls, Software, and Hardware Engineering to strengthen the conveyor design and simulation foundation used across Stride deployments. By developing clearer standards, reusable design guidance, modeling assumptions, and optimization methods, this role enables Solutions Architecture to create more consistent customer layouts and Applications Engineering to perform viability reviews against a stronger technical baseline.\nSuccess in this role requires strong systems engineering judgment, automation knowledge, and the ability to use simulation-driven insights to optimize system designs for throughput, accumulation, serviceability, installation, safety, manufacturability, lifecycle cost, and operational performance. Experience with conveyor systems and AutoCAD is strongly preferred, and any experience with Emulate3D/Sim3D by Rockwell Automation would be a big plus, but comparable experience with industrial automation layouts, system modeling, simulation tools, or PLC-based automation systems may also be applicable.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop and maintain standard conveyor architecture, reusable building blocks, layout rules, and interface requirements for the Stride product platform, including conveyor modules, station interfaces, accumulation strategies, merge/divert behavior, connection methods, and mechanical constraints.\nEstablish and document technical standards, reference layouts, design templates, and simulation assumptions for use by Engineering, Applications Engineering, and Solutions Architecture.\nLead simulation, system behavior, and trade study efforts to evaluate conveyor topology, accumulation, buffering, station-to-station flow, equipment selection, footprint, cost, throughput, operational robustness, bottlenecks, and layout alternatives.\nDevelop and maintain simulation models, reusable simulation components, and validation methods that support system-level design decisions.\nPartner with Controls and Software teams to ensure physical conveyor architecture and simulation models reflect sensing, PLC/control logic, fault recovery, traffic management, and system-level behavior.\nPartner with Applications Engineering to ensure solution viability reviews are grounded in clear conveyor standards, validated assumptions, and consistent performance expectations.\nPartner with Solutions Architecture to provide design guidance, layout constraints, and best practices that improve the consistency and scalability of customer-facing system layouts.\nEvaluate third-party conveyor components, vendor capabilities, and integration approaches for fit within BG’s conveyor architecture and simulation environment.\nTranslate deployment feedback, customer constraints, field issues, and manufacturing lessons learned into improved conveyor standards, simulation assumptions, and productized design updates.\nMaintain conveyor and simulation documentation, including standard layouts, interface control documents, design guides, modeling assumptions, validation methods, and engineering decision records.\nProvide technical leadership and mentorship in conveyor system optimization, simulation methods, and cross-functional design decision-making.\nPreferred Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.\n5+ years of experience designing, modeling, optimizing, or validating industrial automation systems, warehouse automation layouts, robotic systems, conveyor systems, or related equipment.\nExperience with conveyor design, accumulation, buffering, merges, diverts, station interfaces, equipment utilization, and material flow constraints.\nExperience with AutoCAD or a similar 2D/3D layout tool for facility layouts, conveyor layouts, or technical design documentation.\nExperience with Emulate3D / Sim3D by Rockwell Automation or a similar simulation/modeling tool.\nStrong understanding of throughput, bottlenecks, service access, safety, installation, maintainability, MTBF/MTTR, OEE, and operational robustness.\nAbility to make clear engineering tradeoffs across performance, cost, footprint, manufacturability, serviceability, customer requirements, and system behavior.\nExperience providing technical leadership to engineers, including setting direction, reviewing work, mentoring team members, and coordinating execution across disciplines.\nAbility to define and communicate technical strategy, assumptions, priorities, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nDemonstrated ability to work effectively across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, operations, applications, and solutions architecture teams.\nBonus Qualifications\nPLC experience or strong familiarity with industrial controls systems.\nExperience working with conveyor vendors, systems integrators, installation teams, customer site engineering teams, or automation partners.\nExperience developing standards, design guides, templates, or reusable engineering tools for cross-functional use.\nExperience with Python and/or C++ for simulation, automation, data analysis, tooling, or performance profiling.\nExperience with Nvidia Omniverse, digital twins, virtual commissioning, MBSE tools, or other system modeling frameworks.\nExperience developing reusable simulation components, APIs, SDKs, or modeling tools.\nExperience with robotics simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, software-in-the-loop testing, or production software integration.\nExperience designing conveyor systems for robotic automation, fulfillment, parcel, logistics, manufacturing, or warehouse automation environments.\nExperience integrating conveyor systems with robots, sorters, scanners, sensors, PLCs, safety systems, WMS/WES/WCS platforms, or customer facility controls.\nFamiliarity with Git, Jira, Linux / Ubuntu environments, CI/CD practices, code reviews, or modern software development workflows.\n6410-2606KW","description_format":"text","description_chars":6639,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics
