Job description

• Position at BlueSkye
• Find Your Career With LiftOne
• We’re a family-owned company under our fourth generation of leadership and have built our business based on the principles of trust, integrity and a desire to help our customers and employees succeed.
• LiftOne invests in people, facilities and innovative technology as part of the essential role we play in supporting our country’s supply chain and enabling critical goods to be delivered to homes and businesses. We’re a privately held company, and pair our scale with a strong foundation in our culture and values. This combination gives us a competitive advantage in the market and helps make us a trailblazing organization that is built to last.
• We’re looking for hard-working, team-oriented professionals who enjoy working on new challenges every day. We believe our employees are the key to our success, and we’re committed to providing a work experience that helps our team grow to their full potential. We offer great benefits, competitive salaries and opportunities for advancement to all our employees.
• Be a part of the essential work we do at LiftOne and make a difference for our customers, our community and our company. Learn more about what it means to become a team member with LiftOne.
• Join BlueSkye Automation to design and sell cutting edge automated warehouse systems. This role is built for proven engineers who thrive on variety. No two system problems look the same, so we need people who can think on their feet, work directly with automation OEMs, and land the right solution at the right time for the customer — not the easy one or the familiar one.
• You'll own your projects end to end and move with urgency. BlueSkye Automation is growing rapidly and the engineers who join now will shape what it becomes. We're hiring high performers who want that.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work shoulder to shoulder with Sales, Project Management, Service, Operations, and OEM partners. This role sits at the center of those groups and only works if you're building trust across all of them
• Bring engineering discipline to the sales process without slowing it down, and bring commercial awareness to the engineering process
• Share what you learn. Feed lessons from installed systems back into how we design and quote the next one
• Step into gaps. On a growing team, the right answer is often "I've got it" rather than "that's not my scope"
