About the role
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer specializing in simulation and analysis at AutoStore, you will make simulation a core part of how we design new hardware. You will use FEA and dynamic analysis to answer design questions early, guide trade-offs, and catch problems before they reach a prototype or the field. You will also contribute hands-on mechanical design in CAD and help the team take hardware from rapid prototypes through pilot builds to production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience applying mechanical or structural simulation in product development, ideally for electromechanical or robotic products
- Experience with explicit dynamics or multibody tools. LS-DYNA is preferred, experience with tools such as Abaqus/Explicit, MSC Adams or Simscape Multibody is also valued
- 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): building and modifying parts, assemblies and drawings, not only preparing geometry for analysis
- Experience taking designs to production, including design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), GD&T and tolerance analysis, material and process selection, and product compliance and safety standards
