Senior Robotics Engineer- Perception

Who we are

With its A.I.-powered robotic technology platform, Symbotic is changing the way consumer goods move through the supply chain. Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system - reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.

What we need

We are seeking a highly skilled Advanced Robotics Engineer specializing in Robot Manipulation to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in developing the next generation of automated cells, programming advanced robot arms, and integrating modern deep learning techniques to create robust, end-to-end optimized systems capable of handling millions of different items. Your expertise in software engineering will drive the advancement of our robotic manipulation capabilities, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and reliability in our automated warehouse solutions.

What we do

The Vision and Robotics team is dedicated to developing, deploying, and maintaining advanced vision and robotics solutions for our warehouse automation systems. By leveraging our inbound and outbound adapter cells-which connect the storage structure and handle tasks such as depalletizing, singulating cases, and palletizing shipments-we ensure efficient processing and seamless integration with autonomous robots (Symbots) and AI-powered software. The adapter cells hand over cases to the Symbots, who then place the cases into the storage structure and retrieve them when needed for palletization. Our proven track record in industrial vision and robotics system development, combined with best engineering practices, allows us to continuously push the limits of warehouse automation technology.

What you'll do

• Develop Next-Generation Automated Cells : Design and implement advanced automated cell architectures and optimize robot arms for efficient handling of diverse items.
• Software Engineering : Create and maintain high-quality software for robot control, motion planning, and automation, ensuring seamless integration between hardware and software components.
• Deep Learning Integration : Integrate modern deep learning techniques, including Reinforcement Learning, to enhance robotic manipulation capabilities and optimize decision-making processes.
• System Integration : Combine planning and perception systems to develop robust automation solutions capable of handling millions of items with high accuracy and reliability.
• Testing and Optimization : Conduct rigorous testing and optimize algorithms to improve the efficiency, speed, and scalability of robotic operations.
• Collaboration and Mentorship : Work with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
• Innovation and Research : Stay updated with the latest advancements in robotics and propose innovative solutions to enhance the performance and capabilities of automated cells.
• Simulation : Develop and maintain massively parallelized simulation environments to test and validate robotic manipulation systems under diverse conditions.
