## 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
