• Design, redesign, and optimize complex logistics networks using advanced analytical tools and methodologies that balance efficiency, cost, and sustainability.
• Lead technical review meetings with customers and cross-functional bid response teams to validate designs and align stakeholder expectations.
• Support implementation, validating deployed processes to ensure they match design assumptions and requirements.
• Mentor other Solutions Design Engineers and develop improved tools and methodologies that raise team performance and align with industry standards.

• Minimum six years of professional experience in the transportation industry (truckload, less-than-truckload, intermodal, or related services).
• Minimum six years of professional experience in warehousing operations, manufacturing, or industrial engineering roles.
• Expert proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Access, PowerPoint); intermediate to advanced expertise with Tableau or similar visualization platforms.
• Extensive knowledge of transportation networks, dedicated services, managed transportation, and all equipment types (dry vans, temperature-controlled, flatbeds, specialized units).
• Demonstrated expertise with transportation design tools (JDA, Appian), network optimization software (Llamasoft), and transportation management systems.
• Comprehensive understanding of warehouse operations, data analytics, industrial engineering, and warehouse types; working knowledge of material handling solutions and automation technologies (powered industrial trucks, racking systems, conveyor and sortation equipment, AS/RS).
• Proficiency with warehouse design and modeling tools including CAD, slotting software, simulation applications, warehouse management systems (Manhattan Scale), and labor management systems.
