Build the Automation Solutions Behind Complex Enterprise Sales
Prime Robotics is seeking a Senior Sales Engineer to design and position automation solutions for warehouse, distribution, e-commerce, and manufacturing operations.
This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone who combines material-handling expertise with strong customer-facing and analytical skills. You will work directly with customer operational data, create conceptual layouts in AutoCAD, model system performance using simulation tools, size and price solutions, and communicate the resulting technical and financial business case to customer stakeholders.
You will serve as the technical lead on complex opportunities from initial discovery through proposal, executive presentation, contract award, and transition to implementation. You will work closely with Prime Robotics’ commercial, engineering, product, and customer-success teams and will have meaningful influence over both revenue and product direction.
What You’ll Do
- Lead technical discovery with customers to understand their operational challenges, growth plans, labor constraints, service requirements, facility limitations, and investment objectives.
- Analyze customer data—including order profiles, SKU characteristics, inventory, throughput, labor, workflows, and service levels—to define automation requirements.
- Develop conceptual warehouse layouts, equipment arrangements, material flows, and system interfaces using AutoCAD.
- Build discrete-event or material-flow simulation models to validate throughput, capacity, queue behavior, equipment utilization, and resource requirements.
- Design and size integrated automation solutions involving technologies such as autonomous mobile robots, goods-to-person systems, AS/RS, conveyor and sortation, pallet handling, pick stations, and warehouse software.
- Compare alternative solution concepts and clearly communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, assumptions, and expected performance.
- Develop equipment, labor, integration, installation, and other preliminary cost estimates in partnership with engineering, operations, vendors, and commercial leadership.
- Create ROI models and business cases that quantify labor savings, productivity improvement, capacity gains, service-level improvement, and expected payback.
- Serve as the technical lead on warehouse-automation opportunities ranging from approximately $1 million to $50 million or more.
- Prepare proposals, technical narratives, layouts, simulation results, performance calculations, and executive-level presentations.
- Present solutions credibly to stakeholders ranging from operations and engineering teams to directors, senior executives, and C-suite decision-makers.
