Commission Remote Mechatronics Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

#WeRackTheWorld

The warehouse of the future is equipped with our iFollow autonomous robots instead of forklifts and our Atlas 2D pallet shuttles or eScala tote shuttles that allow for high-density storage (no wasted space!) and scalable solutions. 

As part of Movu and over the span of more than 40 years, we've grown into a company with 10 manufacturing facilities, 19 commercial offices, and the know-how of around 2000 employees serving customers in 40 countries.

Early 2021, we opened our US Office and have already grown to 70 people. It's exciting times to be at Movu!

Location:  Romeoville, IL or Remote

The ELECTRICAL CONTROLS ENGINEER is an integral person in helping our customer's vision for an automated storage solution from Movu US come to life.

• Ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical system 
• Comfortable using 2D (required) and 3D (nice to have) CAD software for design of electrical diagrams and schematics

• If remote, occasional travel to our Romeoville, IL office (average 3 days at a time; approx. 4-6 times per year besides onboarding & training)
• For onboarding and training, if remote, travel for training and onboarding to our Romeoville, IL office and regardless of your location, to our headquarters in Belgium (usually no more than 2 weeks at a time)
• We work closely with our European colleagues. The morning hours are the most important so we can connect with them while our business hours overlap across time zones. If you love starting your workday mid-morning or later, you would hate it here. Most people start their workday at 8 am CST and some love to start even earlier so they can wrap up earlier at the end of the day.
