Job Specifications

Insight Global’s client is embarking on a high value initiative to move away from their heavy reliance on vendors for mechanization and software integration. They are building proprietary warehouse automation solutions to replace third-party systems. We are seeking two Software Engineers to design and develop advanced Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) and Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), integrating robotics and automation technologies for large-scale distribution centers. We are looking for highly specialized software engineers (front-end, back-end, full-stack) with experience in robotics, automation, and large-scale warehouse systems—not traditional developers, but engineers who have specifically build proprietary warehouse execution and control systems from the ground up.

Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) and Warehouse Control Systems (WCS).
Integrate automation technologies such as goods-to-person systems, ASRS, and robotics.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design scalable, high-performance solutions.
Work on large-scale automation deployments across multiple distribution centers.
Implement communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA) and integrate with PLCs.
Support multi-site automation deployments and ensure scalability.

Required Skills & Experience:

6+ years in software engineering (front-end, back-end, or full-stack).
Proven experience with development of WES/WCS, integration with robotics, ASRS, goods-to-person systems, OPC UA protocols, PLC integration, large-scale automation deployments.
Proven experience with warehouse automation systems or robotics integration.
Strong programming skills (Java, Python, or similar).
Familiarity with industrial automation protocols and PLC integration.
Experience with large-scale, multi-site automation projects.
Robotics companies (GreyOrange, Fortna) or e-commerce leaders (Amazon Robotics).
Exposure to goods-to-person automation and ASRS solutions.
Knowledge of OPC UA, PLCs, and automation standards.

Compensation:

$__50__/hr to $__75___/hr.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
