We need to design a system and have a conflict about the right path to choose. how do you solve a conflict between engineers in your team?

Thumb wrestle. Best two out of three.
You should hire https://compassionatecoding.com/.

Basically, there shouldn't be conflict. There should be polite disagreement, with people listening to each other, understanding where the other side is coming from, and coming to a consensus or coming up with way to decide.

If you don't have that the issue isn't lack of a system, it's a people problem about how people interact. (I write about it from individual's perspective here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/03/09/win-technical-argume...)
