About Us

Our teams are putting the world's retailers online using the cloud, robotics, AI, and IoT. We provide services to partner clients globally via our innovative advanced robotics technology, known as the Ocado Smart Platform ("OSP"), this drives our highly automated, multi-million pound Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs). In our CFCs - together with the proprietary software applications - we operate a world-class online grocery business that automates the single pick of products, ready for your online delivery.

About the Role

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 Senior 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 FEA tools.
