**We are on a mission: to transform the future of online grocery through cutting-edge technology innovation."**

**About our team...**

For a quick introduction, check out our short video of the technology we use.

Our Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS) teams are at the forefront of our technology engineering enterprise. We specialise in designing, manufacturing, and delivering cutting-edge products to our Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs) worldwide. Our custom electrical and mechanical development projects are advancing the frontiers of innovation and automation.

Within the ASRS department, we have our Grid development teams. These teams are dedicated to creating innovative, reliable products that align with our clients' and customers' diverse needs.

As a Structural Engineer, you will perform complex simulations and analysis of the ASRS's physical storage infrastructure to predict failure modes against specific load cases. Typical types of analysis are static load, dynamic load, fatigue load, and other cases like crack and damage tolerance analysis. You will use your experience and collaboration skills to resolve or mitigate those failure modes with the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineers within the team. You will perform up-front conceptual de-risking and detailed analysis using an appropriate mix of hand calculations and Comsol (Multiphysics FE tool). You will lead the internal capability improvement for structural engineering and stress analysis to enable us to both move faster and develop higher quality storage infrastructure.

- Estimation of work and contribution to project planning
- Identify and communicate technical risks and mitigate them
- Supporting design variation studies
- Contributing to peer/design reviews
- Point of contact for structural technical queries

**Experience required**:

- Degree in hardware engineering.
- 10 years of work experience as a structural engineer/stress analyst.
- Ability to conduct FE Analysis in modern multiphysics tools
- Ability to identify and mitigate technical risk through calculation and simulation
- Ability to liaise with professionals from other disciplines.
- Analytical thinker with strong problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work and communicate progress under pressure within tight deadlines.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Ability to assess, challenge and identify gaps in technical requirements
- Ability to influence concepts to meet technical requirements
- Present, demonstrate, and justify your work

The following experience, would be desirable:

- Professionally registered with the Institute of structural engineers.
- Knowledge of construction methods, materials, and legal regulations.
- Experience with material standards for hot/cold rolled steel, aluminium and plastics
- Experience in designing with/for steel and aluminium joints, finishing, forming and fabrication techniques relevant to large high volume structures
- Experience in designing with/for polymers and composites, moulding & forming
- Understand and interpret verification testing results and feedback into the design
