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.\nWe 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, improved workplaces, and much more floor space.\nAutoStore - moving things forward.\nThe Role\nAs 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.\nYou will join the New Product Development Innovation Team in Atlanta and work closely with the Engineering Tools and Services team and the global Mechanical Simulation Center of Excellence. Day to day, you will partner with mechanical designers, test engineers and project leads on robots, grids, bins and new products.\nThis is a great role for someone who wants their analysis to drive real design decisions, and to see that work running in more than 1,600 systems worldwide.\nKey Tasks and Responsibilities\nPlan and run structural, dynamic, fatigue and multibody simulations of AutoStore hardware, from components to full assemblies.\nWork with design engineers from concept onward to turn design questions into the right analysis, and present clear recommendations.\nContribute to mechanical design in CAD: create and modify parts, assemblies and drawings, and update designs based on simulation results.\nSupport the team through rapid prototyping, pilot builds and production hardware, including design for manufacturability, tolerance and material decisions, supplier questions, build issues and compliance.\nMentor a new-graduate mechanical engineer on the team, guiding their design, analysis and prototyping work.\nValidate models against lab and field test data, and state clearly how far the results can be trusted.\nSupport test planning so physical tests confirm and calibrate simulation results.\nRun design studies, parameter sweeps and optimization to explore trade-offs in weight, cost, stiffness and durability.\nScript and automate repetitive simulation workflows with the Engineering Tools and Services team.\nDocument methods, build reusable models, and share good simulation practice across R&D.\nKey Qualifications\n5+ years of experience applying mechanical simulation in product development, ideally for electromechanical or robotic products.\nHands-on expertise with FEA tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Abaqus, Simcenter or COMSOL Multiphysics, covering static, modal, dynamic and nonlinear analysis.\nExperience with explicit dynamics or multibody tools such as LS-DYNA, MSC Adams or Simscape Multibody.\nStrong grasp of solid mechanics, materials, fatigue and contact, and sound judgment on meshing, boundary conditions and model fidelity.\nExperience correlating simulation with physical test data.\nProficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo or NX): building and modifying parts, assemblies and drawings, not only preparing geometry for analysis.\nExperience 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.\nClear communicator who can explain results and their uncertainty to engineers and non-specialists.\nBachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.\nPreferred Qualifications\nPython or MATLAB scripting to automate simulations and process results.\nThermal or CFD experience (e.g., Ansys Fluent or Icepak, Simcenter FloTHERM, STAR-CCM+).\nExperience with design of experiments, sensitivity analysis or structural optimization.\nCo-simulation experience (e.g., FMI/FMU) or familiarity with electrical, motor or RF simulation tools.\nExperience with physics-based robotics simulators (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo), synthetic data generation or reinforcement learning environments.\nBackground in robotics, logistics automation or other high-cycle electromechanical systems.\nWe Offer:\nAutoStore believes in taking care of employees and is dedicated to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. Join us in our mission to store and move things for everyone, everywhere.\nComprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision plans \nHealth Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution \nGenerous Paid Time Off including 12 holidays, paid exercise time, paid volunteer time, and paid parental leave plans for all new parents \nRetirement 401(k) plan with employer match and discretionary profit sharing contribution \nEducational assistance and professional development programs, including mentorship/coaching programs with external industry leaders \nAdditional benefits include Group Life Insurance, Voluntary Additional Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, Employee Assistance programs, and more! \nAutoStore is an Equal Opportunity Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy-related conditions, and lactation), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws and ordinances.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6152,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Parental leave","Professional development","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Warehousing","Logistics & Warehouse Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T23:02:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/autostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/autostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T19:56:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10820,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20292},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20292"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fautostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fautostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fautostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/autostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fautostore-senior-mechanical-engineer-simulation-analysis"}]}
