* Derive multiple conceptual ideas for an intralogistics solution, evaluate and compare these and select the best fitting concept for both the customer and us.
* Configure and size the solution for the project based on conceptual ideas, material flow diagram, and project information.
* Create 3D solution models and ensure all relevant metadata to the components and project are configured correctly so the model is prepared for various costing phases.
* Identify and apply standard products, modules, subsystems, and solutions and align where needed with the global product managers and COE's.
* Review customer specifications, highlight changes in scope, review proposal information, clarify with the customer and clarify any deviations where necessary.

* Create visual and charted representations of material flow based on the offer layouts.
* Contribute and align to best practices and tools in the solution design community.
* Liaise and coordinate with flex resources from other teams to enable a timely response in design changes and offer delivery.
