About the role

  • Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system - reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.
  • Your job will be to execute system-level and subsystem testing for Symbotic's mobile robot platforms, with equal focus on mechanical durability, sensor validation, controls behavior, and software performance.
  • This role is critical to ensuring our robotic systems meet reliability, functionality, and readiness standards throughout development and sustainment.

Responsibilities

  • Execute and continuously improve test plans for system-level and subsystem Design Verification Testing (DVT), supporting planning, execution, reporting, and engineering feedback loops.
  • Perform mechanical durability, life-cycle, and fatigue testing of robot components and assemblies to validate long-term performance.
  • Design, build, and maintain mechanical test rigs, fixtures, and tooling to support sustainment and validation programs.
  • Validate sensor, controls, and software behavior at the robot system level using Python-based automation, scripting, and data acquisition tools.
  • Maintain clear test documentation, summarize findings, and communicate actionable recommendations to cross-functional engineering stakeholders.
  • Support ongoing sustainment efforts for released products and collaborate closely with BOT Hardware teams to improve future designs.
  • This team provides design verification, durability testing, subsystem validation, and root cause analysis across mobile robot platforms to ensure products perform reliably in real-world environments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics Engineering, Mechanical.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in robotics testing, mechatronics, validation engineering, or a closely related engineering field.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical durability testing, life-cycle. validation, fatigue analysis, and failure investigation methods.
  • Knowledge of quality and manufacturing metrology, GD&T, and structured verification & validation (V&V) test development.
  • Proficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks or CATIA for design review, fixture development, and mechanical support work.
  • Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, data logging, and test workflow efficiency.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to translate test findings into clear engineering actions.
  • Ability to stand, walk, lift robot components or test equipment, and work safely around mobile robotic systems and automated equipment.

Compensation

  • The base range for this position in the posted location is $82,000.00 - $113,300.00 however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
