Position: Logistics Engineer

Location:

Champaign, Illinois
Duration: 24 Months of contract with possible extension

Role Contribution:
This role supports MPNO by translating design to operation in support of automation transformation - performing warehouse automation design & implementation, resolving operational risks, and enabling safe, efficient startups while strengthening MWLC performance.

Key Project: MPNO is the automation transformation of MWLC (Champaign), deploying Auto Store, AMRs, kitting automation, and redesigned material flows. This position will be a part of the MPNO engineering project team led by MPNO Program Manager and will collaborate closely with the MWLC Operations & Safety teams, as well as vendors and contractors.

Purpose of this team: Logistics & Supply Network Engineering (LSNE) team delivers engineered solutions that improve safety, capacity, efficiency, and material flow across Integrated Logistics operations through automation, capital execution, and M&E/process design & execution.

Why this Role?

Enterprise level exposure:
MPNO is a flagship automation initiative for ILS, impacting a site that handles over half of the MPN network's volume. The engineer works directly with ILS leadership, site operations, IT, safety, and external integrators, gaining visibility well beyond a single facility.

End to end automation experience:
This role spans the full lifecycle of a major automation program—solutioning, detailed design, installation, testing, go live, and stabilization—covering AS/RS, robotics, AMRs, kitting automation, system integration, and process redesign. Few roles provide this depth across both engineering and operations.

Transferable, in demand skills:
The engineer develops highly marketable capabilities in automation design, capital execution, safety by design, systems thinking, and change management, all aligned to LSNE standards intended for replication across the global network.

Blueprint for future roles:
Because MPNO is explicitly designed to replicate lessons learned from PDNO and serve as a model for future sites, experience gained here positions the engineer as a go to SME for future automation deployments across ILS.

Typical task breakdown:

• Support logistics engineering for the MPNO automation transformation, including design development, capital justification, implementation planning, and on site implementation support.
• Collaborate cross functionally to deliver safe, practical solutions; support installation, commissioning, risk mitigation, and provide clear project updates to Engineering and Operations leadership.
