Job description

AutoStore™ holds a simple yet powerful vision: to store and move things for everyone, everywhere. Founded in Norway, we've grown into a global technology company. AutoStore uses advanced software to automate and orchestrate order fulfillment. Our goal is to ensure orders arrive faster than ever, with minimal environmental impact. That’s how we help brands exceed customer expectations.

We have more than 1600 systems in nearly 60 countries, and we grow continuously as a community of employees, partners, customers, suppliers, and connected technologies. Automation should make life easier, and by listening carefully to our community, we innovate to meet the industry’s most complex needs. With AutoStore™, brands gain speed, efficiency, and improved workplaces. And much more floor space.

AutoStore – moving things forward.

The Role:

AutoStore is hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer who has carried new products to market. We are looking for an engineer with experience taking high-volume products from concept to launch. The successful engineer will have guided PCBAs through the challenges encountered during the development cycle, including resolving complex issues such as EMC failures experienced during certification and yield drops at the EMS partner, and making the design trade-offs required to recover without compromising long‑term reliability.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of electrical and electronic systems from concept through architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, prototyping, validation, and production release.
• Set hardware architecture, component strategy, and BOM cost/risk profile.
• Design schematics and layouts, ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance.
• Lead and execute root‑cause analysis.
• Own EMC and safety compliance, from design‑for‑EMC through pre‑compliance and formal certification.
• Lead DFM/DFT/DFx with EMS partners; define production test strategy and coverage.
• Own NPI, pilot builds, and production builds.
• Partner with the firmware team on control discussions, implementation, and fault handling.
• Design robust technology with the noise immunity a moving robotic platform demands.

Key Qualifications:

• 9+ years in electronics engineering spanning analog, digital, and power electronics.
• Experience with design for high‑volume manufacturing with global EMS suppliers.
• Experience with sensor interface design and embedded communication bus design in electrically noisy, electromechanical environments.
• Experience with common serial communication protocols.
• Experience architecting and designing advanced motor driver PCBAs and power electronics.
• Experience designing embedded electronics and systems ranging from resource‑constrained microcontroller platforms to Linux‑based embedded systems.
• Experience with safety and compliance issues around fault detection, safe‑state designs, and diagnostics.
• Deep, practical understanding of EMC and design‑for‑EMC.
• DFM & DFT for high‑volume electromechanical products.
• Experience with battery‑powered systems and system power budgeting.
• Demonstrated technical leadership: setting direction for others, reviewing designs, and mentoring.
• Master's degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering (relevant experience may substitute for formal education).

We Offer:

AutoStore believes in taking care of employees and is dedicated to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. Join us in our mission to store and move things for everyone, everywhere.

• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision plans
• Health Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution
• Generous Paid Time Off, including 12 holidays, paid exercise time, paid volunteer time, and paid parental leave plans for all new parents
• Retirement 401(k) plan with an employer match and a discretionary profit‑sharing contribution
• Educational assistance and professional development programs, including mentorship/coaching programs with external industry leaders
• Additional benefits include Group Life Insurance, Voluntary Additional Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, Employee Assistance programs, and more!
