Building a career in robotics does not always mean following a fixed path. In this episode of Behind the Robot, Carlos Fernandez, Chief Solutions Officer at AutoStore, shares how he progressed from an engineering role in a small 20-person company to executive leadership in a global robotics business.
Carlos explains how AutoStore scaled from an early-stage company into a publicly listed organisation, and what he learned across technical, commercial, product and leadership roles. He also discusses hardware development, customer-led innovation, physical AI, warehouse automation and the skills needed for the future of robotics. Whether you are an engineer, graduate or business leader, this episode offers practical insight into building a long-term career and developing technology that solves real operational problems.
