Solution Design Engineer

Location: Pune, India

Department: Validation

Experience: 1-3

The Role

Key Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end solution layouts for parcel sorting and order consolidation systems tailored to customer warehouse environments.
• Lead BOM (Bill of Materials) — validate component selection, cost optimization, lead times, and vendor alternatives for every solution proposal.
• Define and refine product specifications by deeply understanding the robotic platform’s mechanical discovery — question existing sorting/consolidation workflows, identify bottlenecks, and propose optimized process designs that leverage robotic capabilities.
• Create 2D CAD layouts (AutoCAD/SolidEdgelectrical, and electronics subsystems (drives, sensors, power distribution, charging systems, conveyor interfaces).
• Plan detailed site layouts in collaboration with customers — robot zones, charging stations, induction/discharge points, conveyor routing, buffer areas, and operator workstations etc..
• Assess site civil and structural readiness: flooring type, flatness, load-bearing capacity, floor coatings, expansion joints, ramp gradients, and ceiling clearances.
• Conduct operational process e) and 3D renderings to communicate solution designs to customers and internal teams.
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Electronics, and Production teams to ensure solution designs are manufacturable, serviceable, and field-deployable.
• Support Sales and BD with technical sizing, throughput calculations, ROI models, and solution proposals during customer engagements.
• Run simulations to validate throughput, robot fleet sizing, and system performance against customer SLAs.

Requirements

• B.Tech/B.E. in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline.
• 2–5 years in solution design, product engineering, systems engineering, or industrial/warehouse automation.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical/electronics systems — motors, sensors, power systems, wiring, enclosures, and safety standards.
• Proficiency in 2D CAD (AutoCAD) and/or 3D CAD (SolidEdge, SolidWorks) for layout and product design.
• Hands-on experience with BOM creation, review, and cost analysis across electromechanical assemblies.
• Ability to read and assess civil/structural drawings, flooring specifications, and site infrastructure readiness.
• Strong analytical skills for throughput modeling, fleet sizing, and operational process optimization.
• Excellent communication skills to lead customer workshops, present technical solutions, and drive cross-team alignment.

Good to Have

• Experience with robotic systems, AGVs/AMRs, or conveyor-based automation in warehouse/logistics environments.
• Exposure to simulation tools (FlexSim, AnyLogic, or similar) for material flow and throughput analysis.
• Understanding of industrial safety standards (CE, UL, ISO 12100) and electrical compliance (IEC 60204).
• Familiarity with PLC/SCADA systems and industrial communication protocols (Modbus, Profinet, EtherCAT).
• Knowledge of warehousing operations: sorting methodologies, wave planning, order consolidation strategies, and SLA frameworks.
• Prior experience working directly with customer operations and facility teams on-site.

We Value

• A questioning mindset — you challenge assumptions in ops processes and push for better solutions.
• Strong ownership and end-to-end accountability from concept to deployment.
• Comfort with ambiguity and fast iteration in a start-up environment.
• Hands-on attitude — willingness to visit sites, get on the warehouse floor, and validate designs in the real world.
