Job description

Exotec designs and delivers advanced automation solutions that help global brands optimize warehouse performance while supporting warehouse teams across at every level. Our organization combines elegant mechanical design, resilient software and a deep understanding of logistics operations to solve our clients’ most complex challenges.


Working at Exotec means contributing to the systems used daily in warehouses. You'll collaborate with passionate colleagues who share knowledge, challenge ideas and work in a respectful environment that values the diversity of more than 1,000 ExoPeople around the world.


Here, your work moves from concept to production and into the hands of clients who rely on it each day. You’ll join a company where collaboration, excellence, and meaningful impact guide what's built next.

Responsibilities

As a Mechanical Project Engineer (internally titled: Senior Hardware Integration Engineer), you will play a key role in delivering complex logistics and automation solutions by bridging engineering studies, supplier execution, and project delivery.

  • Act as the main interface with clients to advise on the hardware design of Exotec’s solutions
  • Coordinate a hardware project team, including task allocation, follow‑up, and reporting to the project management team
  • Lead hardware system technical decisions, ensuring compliance with technical, budgetary, and scheduling constraints
  • Approve specifications for all hardware design and study activities, whether handled internally or outsourced
  • Manage external suppliers (including Tier‑1 equipment providers) from the study phase through commissioning on projects involving complex systems
  • Ensure compatibility and coherence between all integrated equipment and the client’s system architecture
  • Facilitate the handover of designed equipment to project operations and deployment teams
  • Provide technical support to project operations teams, on‑site or remotely, as required
  • Support, mentor, and share expertise with Hardware Integration Engineers within the team, particularly on technical rigor and supplier interactions
  • Champion and ensure adherence to Exotec’s culture, values, processes, and best practices

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, mechatronics, automation, or a related field
  • ~5 years of experience working on hardware integration projects, ideally within intralogistics, warehousing, or automated material‑handling projects
  • Strong hands‑on CAD experience in a professional setting, including producing and reviewing layouts and installation drawings (school‑only CAD experience is not sufficient)
  • Demonstrated experience leading hardware design studies and making system‑level technical decisions
  • Proven ability to manage external suppliers or partners, ideally Tier‑1 equipment providers, from study phase through commissioning
  • Comfortable acting as a technical interface with clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders
  • Ability to balance technical, budgetary, and scheduling constraints in decision‑making
  • Strong communication and synthesis skills, with the ability to work autonomously within project teams

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package, inclusive of salary & annual bonus potential
  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage
  • Generous vacation and time off policy
  • 401(k) with company match up to 5%
  • Continuous opportunities for training and development within an international organization
  • Beautiful, newly renovated office space in midtown Atlanta
