- Define the software architecture across WMS, WCS and fleet management, including interfaces to the customer's ERP or WMS.
- Prepare bills of materials and cost estimates with manufacturing partners in China and engineering colleagues in Austria.
- Write technical proposals, functional specifications and ROI / business-case analyses for the sales team to present.
- Join customer video calls to clarify requirements, answer technical questions and present solution concepts.
- Support the sales team and channel partners remotely with technical input, solution options and sales tools.
- Hand over won projects to the delivery team with a complete design package, and support scope and change management during execution.
- Build and maintain standard design templates, calculation tools and a library of reference solutions to speed up proposals.
