KION Group is a German company created in 2006 when Linde separated its materials handling division, and it is now one of the largest makers of forklift trucks and warehouse automation systems in the world. Its industrial truck business sells under the Linde and STILL brands across Europe and beyond, while Dematic supplies the conveyors, robotics, storage systems and control software behind large automated distribution centres. Headquartered in Frankfurt and listed there, it earns a growing share of revenue from service and from software rather than from equipment sales alone.

Tasks and Qualifications:

What You Will Do In This Role

  • Evaluate installed ASRS systems, customer requirements, technical documentation, and field conditions to identify risks, modernization needs, and opportunities to improve safety, productivity, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
  • Develop controls modernization concepts and define hardware, software, interfaces, engineering, commissioning, and implementation requirements.
  • Coordinate with mechanical, software, execution, and external partners to deliver controls solutions for standalone or integrated projects.
  • Own the controls solution definition, equipment requirements, bill of materials, cost estimate, schedule, assumptions, and exclusions.
  • Provide a clear post-award handoff of the solution, key assumptions, and technical requirements to execution teams.
  • Share technical knowledge and guide colleagues on ASRS controls applications, estimating practices, and solution development.
  • Manage multiple opportunities and competing priorities while maintaining accurate schedules, risk assessments, and forecasts.
  • Travel up to 20% to customer and Dematic locations within the United States.

What We Are Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, or a related technical field-or equivalent education and relevant experience in controls and material-handling systems.
  • 9+ years of applicable experience in controls engineering, material handling, estimating, commissioning, or related disciplines, including the design, modernization, or commissioning of automated material-handling or industrial automation systems.
  • Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, drives, safety controls, industrial communications, network architecture, and system interfaces, with experience using Rockwell, Siemens, or a comparable industrial controls platform.
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, PLC programs, and complex or less clearly defined controls issues and translate technical information into clear solution requirements.
  • Strong skills in customer discovery, verbal and written communication, and presentation, with the ability to define customer requirements, influence solution decisions, and clearly communicate technical alternatives, tradeoffs, and value.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and related business tools used to develop technical documentation, cost estimates, and customer proposals.
  • Controls estimating experience is preferred, including labor, hardware, software, commissioning, travel, implementation resources, and project schedules.
  • Knowledge of vendor capabilities, contractor performance, labor markets, and pricing trends.
  • Direct experience with ASRS controls is strongly preferred, including SRMs, onboard and offboard control systems, brownfield modernization, controls migration, obsolescence planning, lifecycle upgrades, and phased implementation in operating facilities.
  • Experience integrating warehouse control systems (WCS), warehouse execution systems (WES), host systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is preferred.
  • Demonstrated commitment to staying current with evolving controls technologies, ASRS applications, and material-handling industry practices.
