This role drives spatial coordination of building shell, material handling equipment, and safety modules while managing cross-functional design programs. You'll own end-to-end composite delivery, integrating architectural drawings with MHE layouts and operational requirements. Lead clash detection, establish BIM standards, and ensure construction-ready designs meet launch timelines. Manage design resources across concurrent projects while serving as primary interface to Worldwide Design Engineer (WWDE), Operations, and Construction partners. Key job responsibilities Lead spatial design and architectural coordination integrating building shell, material handling equipment, and safety modules across fulfillment operations. Translate architectural drawings into operational composites, coordinating structural constraints, ceiling heights, and building systems with MHE layouts. Overlay safety modules (5S, egress, fire protection, WHS compliance) to facilitate safe working conditions. Conduct clash detection between building structure, MHE systems, and operational modules using Navisworks. Manage design resources across concurrent projects while serving as primary interface to WWDE, Operations, and Construction partners. Establish BIM standards and drive process improvements that scale across the organization. A day in the life Your day balances strategic program management with hands-on design leadership. You start by reviewing delivery status across your portfolio, identifying risks, and adjusting resource allocation to keep projects on track. Mid-morning, you're in Revit resolving a complex clash detection issue that's blocking a critical milestone. By afternoon, you're leading a composite review with WWDE and Operations partners, facilitating decisions on scope changes and ensuring alignment on delivery timelines. You communicate with clarity and authority, making decisions that balance design quality, schedule pressure, and stakeholder expectations. When timelines compress or scope expands, you assess impact, propose solutions. ## Related Videos - [Design as an algorithm, not as a feature](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/471-design-as-an-algorithm-not-as-a-feature) - [Old tools, new tricks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1916-old-tools-new-tricks) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [MCP doesn’t suck — your agent does](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100202-mcp-doesn-t-suck-your-agent-does) - [One Does Not Simply Make Architecture Decisions Alone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2128-one-does-not-simply-make-architecture-decisions-alone) - [Reusing apps between teams and environments through Containers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/107-reusing-apps-between-teams-and-environments-through-containers) ## Related Articles - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology)
