Job description

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to work with two core parts of the AutoStore system: the Grid , the aluminium structure that the robots operate on, and the Bins , which store and move goods within the system. You will work on both the next generation of Grid and Bin products and the continuous improvement of solutions already in the market.

This is a hands‑on product development role where you will work with mechanical design, materials, CAD, testing, and validation . With Bins produced at a scale of millions of units per year and Grid installations operating around the world, your work will help ensure our products are robust, reliable, and ready for production and customer use.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support the development of next-generation AutoStore Bins , while continuously improving existing Bin, Grid, and related products.
• Create and modify 3D models, mechanical designs, drawings, and technical documentation using Autodesk Inventor, and participate in technical design reviews.

• Work with materials, specifications, and manufacturing requirements , supporting material evaluation and ensuring consistent product performance in high-volume production.
• Contribute throughout the full product lifecycle , from early concepts and prototypes through validation and mass production, while supporting sustaining engineering and technical investigations on existing products.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in mechanical product development , taking physical products through design, prototyping, testing, validation, and design iterations. Relevant technical education is preferred, but a university degree is not required if you have strong practical engineering experience.
• Good understanding of materials and material properties , and how material selection and parameters influence product design, performance, and manufacturing.
• Strong experience with 3D CAD and mechanical design , including drawings, specifications, requirements, tolerances, and engineering documentation. Experience with Autodesk Inventor and PLM systems is an advantage.
• Practical experience with prototyping, and test setups , using test results and technical data to develop and verify solutions.
• Experience with plastics or metal manufacturing is a strong advantage , particularly injection molding , tooling and DFM, sheet metal, or extruded aluminium.

We Offer

• A Collaborative & Inclusive Culture where we celebrate and value everyone's contributions, encouraging diverse perspectives in decision‑making.
• Work-Life Balance & Well‑being : We offer 1 hour per week of paid exercise, health insurance, and a generous pension plan, prioritizing your mental and physical well‑being.
