We are seeking a Systems Engineer to design and optimize logistical distribution operations within a high-density warehouse environment dedicated to critical IT hardware assets. Unlike a traditional IT or software role, this position applies core systems engineering methodologies—such as workflow analysis, capacity planning, and process optimization—to enhance material flow, maintain inventory integrity, and improve facility-wide operational efficiency. The successful candidate will bridge rigorous engineering discipline with the practical demands of warehouse logistics, ensuring the safe, accurate, and efficient movement and storage of high-value technology equipment. Key responsibilities will include analyzing end-to-end logistical pathways, developing data-driven standard operating procedures, coordinating with cross-functional teams to align inventory with production schedules, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives that reduce waste, minimize handling risks, and maximize storage utilization. This role is integral to guaranteeing that our IT infrastructure remains fully supported and deployable, requiring a unique blend of analytical problem-solving, operational acumen, and a safety-first mindset in a dynamic, mission-critical environment.
Basic Qualifications
- Collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams and provide clear operational guidance to personnel
- Consistently follow detailed work instructions in a fast-paced production environment
- Physically capable of lifting up to 50 pounds and operating safely in a warehouse setting
- Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings and understanding dimensional tolerances
- Hands-on experience handling hazardous materials in full compliance with safety regulations
- Strong working knowledge of ASRS, SAP, and associated production software platforms
- Aptitude to review, analyze, and interpret procedural documentation and production schedules
- Uncompromising attention to detail with a primary focus on workplace safety
- Exceptional oral and written communication skills
- Advanced functional proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
- Verified property management and warehouse operations experience
- Secret clearance required or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required. (Must be able to operate a company‑provided or personal vehicle for site‑to‑site tasks, vendor runs, and occasional off‑site meetings.)
Desired Skills
- General manufacturing operations experience, specifically in assembly and adhesive bonding processes
- Prior use of logistics/property databases such as IMAP, AMOS, SAP, ASRS, or SAIL (or equivalent programs)
- Proven track record of tracking equipment calibration and consumable material expiration dates in production
- Experience leading small teams to meet shared schedules and production goals
- Thorough attention to detail with the ability to follow tasks through to complete closure
- Proven inventory management experience
- Property administration background preferred
- Demonstrated commitment to maintaining accurate processes and procedures for property and material asset recordkeeping
