Systems Designer
Actalent, Panama City, FL, United States
Job Description
The Systems Designer will design and develop rail system layouts for automated industrial laundry systems, transforming conceptual sales layouts into detailed, production‑ready designs. The role focuses on 2D AutoCAD system layout work, including belt, sorting system, platform, and rail system design, to create efficient, gravity‑based material handling solutions. It offers the opportunity to act as a technical lead, collaborate with cross‑functional teams, and grow into broader career paths within a leading, growth‑oriented organization.
Responsibilities
Design and develop rail system layouts for automated industrial laundry systems using 2D AutoCAD.
Convert sales layouts into optimized, detailed system designs that are ready for production and installation.
Create, modify, and manage standardized and dynamic AutoCAD blocks for large, gravity‑based system layouts.
Focus on integrated system layouts, including belt design, sorting systems, platform design, and rail systems, rather than component‑level mechanical design.
Translate conceptual layouts into accurate, consistent, production‑ and installation‑ready drawings.
Optimize and refine high‑level sales layouts to improve system performance, flow, and usability.
Apply detailed design thinking to ensure layouts meet functional, spatial, and operational requirements.
Coordinate as the technical lead with electrical and software teams to ensure system integration and design alignment.
Use Excel and the MS Office suite to support design documentation, calculations, and communication.
Maintain high standards of drafting accuracy, detail, and consistency across all drawings and project documentation.
Support continuous improvement of layout standards, templates, and design practices for system design.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve design issues, and support project delivery.
Essential Skills
Strong proficiency in 2D AutoCAD, with hands‑on experience creating, modifying, and managing standardized and dynamic blocks.
Demonstrated ability to design and detail large, integrated system layouts rather than basic linework or small component design.
Proven experience translating layouts into production‑ and installation‑ready drawings with a high degree of accuracy.
Strong mechanical design and system layout skills focused on belt, sorting system, platform, and rail system design.
High attention to detail and consistency in drafting and documentation.
Ability to take high‑level sales layouts and independently optimize, refine, and finalize designs.
Comfort working as a technical lead, coordinating with electrical and software teams on integrated systems.
Proficiency with Excel and the MS Office suite for documentation and communication.
Strong design judgment and practical understanding of gravity‑based and large‑scale system layouts.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
Background as a 2D AutoCAD‑focused designer, CAD designer/drafter, or engineering technician is highly suitable.
Civil engineering experience can be applicable where it aligns with long‑term system layout work.
No engineering degree is required; demonstrated AutoCAD depth and design judgment are more important than formal engineering credentials.
Interest in a career path that may include transitioning into Sales based on strong optimization skills, communication, and customer interaction.
Comfort working in an industry‑leading, growth‑oriented environment with opportunities for upward mobility.
Ability to thrive in a detail‑oriented role focused on system layout and optimization rather than traditional 3D mechanical engineering work.
Work Environment The role is based in a newer office and manufacturing facility located in Lynn Haven. You will work primarily in an office setting using AutoCAD, Excel, and the MS Office suite, with access to the manufacturing floor to better understand how designs translate into real‑world systems. The organization supports collaboration with electrical, software, and operations teams, fostering a culture of technical leadership, continuous improvement, and professional growth.
