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 a product from 0 - 1, someone who has felt the consequences of their own design decisions at 10,000 units, not 10. The successful engineer will have owned PCBAs through the messy parts: EMC chamber failures two weeks before certification, yield drops at the EMS partner, and the design trade-offs required to recover without compromising long-term reliability.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities:

PCBA Ownership – Concept Through to Serial Production Ready

• Set hardware architecture, component strategy, and BOM cost/risk profile for assigned boards.
• Schematic design and layout; own signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal outcomes.
• Lead bring-up and 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 0-series.
• Partner with firmware on control discussions, implementation and fault handling.
• Design robust technology with the noise immunity a moving robotic platform demands.

System and Organizational Contribution

• Contribute to electronics design standards, reusable building blocks, and design review practice in functional excellence groups.
• Assess how your designs could impact the wider AutoStore portfolio through a platform approach, and flag cross-product benefits and drawbacks.
• Working within a cross-functional NPD team and foster multidiscipline collaboration between functional disciplines.
• Mentor to mid-level and junior engineers; you review their designs and help raise the bar of the team, not just your own output.

Key Qualifications:

• Master's in Electronics or equivalent.
• 7+ years in electronics engineering spanning analog, digital, and power electronics.
• How owned design for high-volume manufacturing with global EMS suppliers.
• Dealt with sensor interface design and embedded communication bus design in electrically noisy, electromechanical environments.
• Experienced with CAN, SPE/Ethernet, I2C, RS-485, etc.
• Architected and designed advanced motor driver PCBAs and power electronics.
• Experience designing embedded electronics and systems ranging from resource constrained microcontroller platforms to Linux based embedded systems.
• Dealt with safety and compliance issues around fault detection, safe state designs and diagnostics.
• Deep and practical EMC competence — design-for-EMC, not just test attendance.
• DFM & DFT for high-volume electromechanical products.
• Battery-powered systems and system power budgeting.
• Demonstrated technical leadership: setting direction for others, reviewing designs, and mentoring.

We Offer:

• 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 employer match and 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!
