Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system - reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.\nWhat we need\nSymbotic is seeking a System Engineer to support the day-to-day reliability, availability, and performance of our automated warehouse systems in a live production environment. This role is hands-on and operational in nature, aligned closely with a Maintenance Engineer or Lead Automation Technician profile. The System Engineer focuses on troubleshooting, maintaining, and stabilizing complex electro-mechanical and automated systems to ensure safe, consistent system uptime. This role is not commissioning-focused, not controls-programming-heavy, and not customer-facing, but instead centered on system health, equipment reliability, and technical execution on site\nWhat we do\nThe System Engineer is part of the Customer Operations organization which is responsible for leading the day-to-day operations of Symbotic’s robotic material handling system. The Customer Operations organization drives operational excellence by engaging and partnering with our onsite customers to drive best-in-class quality, safety and system performance.\nWhat you’ll do\nMonitor and maintain the health of automated systems including conveyors, lifts, robotic vehicles, motors, sensors, and PLC-controlled equipment. \nPerform advanced electrical, mechanical, and automation troubleshooting to resolve production-impacting issues. \nDiagnose failures across PLCs (Allen-Bradley), VFDs, AC/DC motors, servo motors, sensors, and control hardware. \nSupport and execute preventive and corrective maintenance activities on automated equipment. \nUtilize system data, alarms, logs, and dashboards to identify fault conditions and recurring issues. \nDocument maintenance activities, repairs, and findings using CMMS systems (e.g., Maximo) and internal tools. \nAct as a senior technical escalation point during system disruptions or downtime events. \nPartner with on-site maintenance, operations, and technical teams to restore and stabilize system performance. \nProvide technical guidance and on-the-job support to maintenance technicians and operators. \nStep in to support critical on-site technical functions as needed to maintain operational continuity. \nEnsure compliance with OSHA, LOTO, electrical safety, and Symbotic safety standards. \nWhat you’ll need\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience. \nMinimum of 1 year of hands-on experience with PLCs, preferably Allen-Bradley, focused on diagnostics and troubleshooting (not heavy programming). \nMinimum of 1 year of experience with VFDs, including diagnosing speed, torque, and drive-related issues. \nMinimum of 1 year of experience working with AC and DC motors. \nHands-on experience with automated systems such as conveyor systems, conveyor belts, vertical lifts, and motor-driven equipment. \nExperience supporting autonomous or semi-autonomous systems, including conveyors, lifts, AS/RS, robotics, servo motors, or 480V systems. \nWorking knowledge of SQL, Python, and Linux for diagnostics, log review, and system interaction. \nStrong hands-on experience assembling, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting robotics and electro-mechanical systems. \nPrior experience in maintenance engineering, automation maintenance, or lead maintenance technician roles preferred. \nOur Environment\nWork is performed in an active industrial environment with high levels of automation. \nAbility to work at heights of up to 45 feet and within confined spaces. \nAbility to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds. \nExposure to varying temperatures and production conditions. \nMust comply with all PPE, LOTO, fall protection, and electrical safety requirements. \nAbility to work flexible hours, including off-shifts, as needed to support system uptime and recovery. \nValid driver’s license required. \nAbout Symbotic\nSymbotic is an automation technology leader reimagining the supply chain with its end-to-end, AI-powered robotic and software platform.
