• Ensure seamless communication between AGVs and other automated systems to support synchronized operations.
• Establish KPIs for equipment performance
• Lead cross‑functional projects to deploy new AGVs or upgrade existing material handling infrastructure.
• Ensure all systems comply with safety regulations and industry standards.

• Fluent English (other languages a plus).
• A proactive, self‑driven team player who thrives in a matrix set‑up and is willing to travel 30–40 days per year.
