Staff Process Engineer

Role

Staff Process Engineer (IC-4) responsible for owning industrial engineering fundamentals, process standardization, and facility layout across Veho’s warehouse network. Acts as the technical bridge between Ground Operations and Product/Engineering to ensure software and tools work in the physical warehouse environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Industrial Engineering & Standards: develop engineered labor standards, conduct time studies, set rates and productivity benchmarks, and build capacity models that translate volume forecasts into staffing and throughput requirements.
• Process Design & Standardization: design, document, and standardize end-to-end warehouse workflows (sort, stow, stage, load, returns); create practical SOPs and playbooks and drive adoption across sites.
• Facility Layout & Flow Optimization: design and optimize travel paths, staging/loading layouts, slotting strategies, and congestion reduction; translate throughput needs into layout recommendations and validate on the floor.
• Bridge Between Ground Ops and Product/Tech: translate floor observations into structured product requirements, represent operator perspectives in product design, and partner on tech launches and pilots to ensure real-world execution.
• Network Rollout & Operational Enablement: lead end-to-end rollout of process and tooling changes, define readiness criteria, training alignment, success metrics, go/no-go gates, and rollback plans; act as on-the-ground SME during launches.
• AI Tooling & Vibe Coding: use AI tools and vibe coding to rapidly ship operator-facing dashboards, productivity monitors, and exception-handling tools without depending on developers.
• Experimentation & Continuous Improvement: design and run structured experiments, partner with BI for instrumentation and defensible results, iterate quickly on improvements and document learnings.
• MHE Integration Support: support material handling equipment (MHE) and automation integrations, own standard work and bypass procedures, and coordinate training for integrated systems.

Requirements

• Direct experience working in warehouses, fulfillment centers, distribution networks, or manufacturing floors.
• Strong industrial engineering and systems-thinking capabilities; ability to model throughput and quantify operational impacts.
• AI-fluent and builder-minded: able to prototype and ship operator-facing tools using AI and vibe coding.
• Credible operator partner: presence on the floor, practical SOP design, and stakeholder trust with Ground Ops.
• Data-driven: experience with time studies, productivity benchmarking, defect trend analysis, and presenting quantitative findings.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD or similar tools for facility layout design.

Preferred (but not required)

• Experience with MHE or warehouse automation deployments (conveyors, sorters, scanning systems) and WMS/WCS integration.
• Experience in ecommerce fulfillment, last-mile logistics, 3PL networks, or high-velocity manufacturing.
• Experience operating in both startup and scaled organizations during rapid growth.
• Relevant certifications such as Lean/Six Sigma, PMP, or equivalent industrial engineering credentials.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $175,000
• Equity: Generous ownership package
• Benefits: comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k)
• PTO: Flexible paid time off policy
• Location: Atlanta, GA; Dallas, TX; Philadelphia, PA; Chicago, IL
• Relocation: No
• Sponsorship: Veho is unable to provide sponsorship at this time.
