Senior Conveyor Systems Lead & Product Engineer

Brightpick is revolutionizing warehouse automation with cutting-edge robotic solutions and intelligent systems that power some of the world’s most advanced fulfillment centers. While our AMRs and ASRS are the brains and legs of the operation, we are now introducing groundbreaking products that require a seamless "circulatory system": Conveyors.

We are looking for a Senior Conveyor Systems Lead to own the evolution of our conveyor portfolio. You aren’t just a designer; you are a product visionary and a technical powerhouse who will define how our robots interact with the physical flow of totes. If you have a "problem-solver" DNA and an obsession with innovative material handling, we want you in Bratislava.

As the Senior Conveyor Systems Lead, you will be the internal SME for all things moving on belts, rollers, and chains. You will lead the integration of our new groundbreaking product into existing and new conveyor ecosystems. This role sits at the intersection of Product Development, Mechanical Design, and Project Execution—ensuring that every tote reaches its destination with surgical precision.

• Integration Knowledge: A strong understanding of how conveyors "talk" to WCS/WMS systems and integrate with sensors and PLC-driven automation.
• Innovative Mindset: You don't just buy off-the-shelf; you look for ways to make systems faster, quieter, and smarter.
• Project Grit: Proven ability to manage timelines and budgets while being willing to go on-site to ensure the "steel hits the floor" correctly.
