The Role:AutoStore is hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer who has carried new products to market. We are looking for an Engineer with experience taking a product from 0 - 1, someone who has felt the consequences of their own design decisions at 10,000 units, not 10. The successful engineer will have owned PCBAs through the messy parts: EMC chamber failures two weeks before certification, yield drops at the EMS partner, and the design trade-offs required to recover without compromising long-term reliability.
Key Tasks and Responsibilities: PCBA Ownership - Concept Through to Serial Production Ready- Set hardware architecture, component strategy, and BOM cost/risk profile for assigned boards.
- Schematic design and layout; own signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal outcomes.
- Lead bring-up and root-cause analysis.
- Own EMC and safety compliance, from design-for-EMC through pre-compliance and formal certification.
- Lead DFM/DFT/DFx with EMS partners; define production test strategy and coverage.
- Own NPI, pilot builds, and 0-series.
- Partner with firmware on control discussions, implementation and fault handling.
- Design robust technology with the noise immunity a moving robotic platform demands.
System and Organizational Contribution- Contribute to electronics design standards, reusable building blocks, and design review practice in functional excellence groups.
- Assess how your designs could impact the wider AutoStore portfolio through a platform approach, and flag cross-product benefits and drawbacks.
- Working within a cross-functional NPD team and foster multidiscipline collaboration between functional disciplines.
- Mentor to mid-level and junior engineers; you review their designs and help raise the bar of the team, not just your own output.
Key Qualifications: - Master's in Electronics or equivalent.
- 7+ years in electronics engineering spanning analog, digital, and power electronics.
- How owned design for high-volume manufacturing with global EMS suppliers.
- Dealt with sensor interface design and embedded communication bus design in electrically noisy, electromechanical environments.
- Experienced with CAN, SPE/Ethernet, I2C, RS-485, etc.
- Architected and designed advanced motor driver PCBAs and power electronics.
- Experience designing embedded electronics and systems ranging from resource constrained microcontroller platforms to Linux based embedded systems.
- Dealt with safety and compliance issues around fault detection, safe state designs and diagnostics.
- Deep and practical EMC competence - design-for-EMC, not just test attendance.
- DFM & DFT for high-volume electromechanical products.
- Battery-powered systems and system power budgeting.
- Demonstrated technical leadership: setting direction for others, reviewing designs, and mentoring.
