Automation should make life easier, and by listening carefully to our community, we innovate to meet the industry’s most complex needs. With Auto Store™, brands gain speed, efficiency, improved workplaces, and much more floor space. Auto Store – moving things forward.

Auto Store is hiring a Senior Structural Engineer who has successfully carried new products to market. We are looking for an engineer with experience developing and validating structural systems for high-volume products from concept to launch. The successful engineer will have owned structural designs through the challenges encountered during development and production, including fatigue failures, vibration issues, excessive deflection, load path optimization, certification requirements, and the difficult design trade-offs required to deliver robust products without compromising performance, manufacturability, or long-term reliability.

This individual will serve as a technical leader, owning structural analysis and validation activities for key portions of the Auto Store robot, grid/cube, charging systems, and related mechanical systems. They will be expected to balance strength, stiffness, weight, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost while delivering innovative solutions that can be successfully deployed on a global scale.

• Structural System Ownership – Concept Through Production Lead the structural design, analysis, and validation of mechanical systems from concept through detailed design, simulation, testing, and production release.
• Own structural architecture, load path development, and engineering trade-offs balancing strength, stiffness, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
• Perform structural calculations and simulations, including static, dynamic, vibration, fatigue, impact, and seismic analyses, as required.
• Develop and validate finite element models (FEA) and correlate analytical predictions with physical test results.
• Lead and execute root‑cause investigations of structural failures, field issues, reliability concerns, and product performance deviations.
• Analyze and optimize structural components, assemblies, and systems for strength, stiffness, weight, durability, and service life.
• Own structural verification activities, including hand calculations, simulation, laboratory testing, and system‑level validation.
• Partner closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, manufacturing, quality, and systems engineering teams throughout product development.
• Develop structural solutions capable of withstanding demanding operational environments, repetitive loading, vibration, and long‑term field use.
• Define and execute validation testing, including static load, fatigue, vibration, modal, impact, environmental, and life‑cycle testing.
• Support product certification activities and ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards and regulatory requirements.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing teams to ensure structural integrity is maintained throughout production and product lifecycle changes.

• 9+ years of experience in structural or mechanical engineering with an emphasis on structural…
