Job summary

AutoStore is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer in Atlanta to embed simulation as a core design driver for hardware. You will lead structural and dynamic analyses, guide trade-offs, and contribute hands-on CAD work from rapid prototypes to production.

Collaborate with global teams on robots, grids, bins and new products. You will mentor a new‑graduate engineer, validate models with test data, and ensure designs meet manufacturability, tolerance, and safety standards across 1,600+ systems

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience applying mechanical simulation in product development, ideally for electromechanical or robotic products.
• Proficiency with FEA tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Abaqus, Simcenter or COMSOL Multiphysics, covering static, modal, dynamic and nonlinear analysis.
• Experience with explicit dynamics or multibody tools such as LS-DYNA, MSC Adams or Simscape Multibody.
• Strong grasp of solid mechanics, materials, fatigue and contact, and sound judgment on meshing, boundary conditions, and model fidelity.
• Experience correlating simulation with physical test data.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo or NX).
• Experience taking designs to production, including DFM/DFA, GD&T and tolerance analysis, material and process selection, and product compliance and safety standards.
• Clear communicator who can explain results and their uncertainty to engineers and non-specialists.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Plan and run structural, dynamic, fatigue and multibody simulations of AutoStore hardware, from components to full assemblies.
• Turn design questions into the right analysis and present clear recommendations.
• Contribute to mechanical design in CAD: modify parts, assemblies and drawings based on results.
• Support rapid prototyping, pilot builds and production hardware with design for manufacturability and tolerances.
• Mentor a new‑graduate mechanical engineer on design, analysis and prototyping.
• Validate models against lab and field test data and state the confidence level.
• Support test planning to verify simulation results.
• Run design studies and optimization to explore weight, cost, stiffness and durability.
