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.
This is a highly cross-functional position spanning data science, robotics, operations research, and distributed systems, where your work will directly impact efficiency, throughput, and scalability of real-world automation systems.
Symbotic reinvents the warehouse as a strategic asset for the world's largest retail, wholesale, and food & beverage companies.

Responsibilities

Design and develop simulation frameworks for robotic warehouse systems, including robot fleets, inventory flows, task allocation, and human-robot interaction
Build discrete-event and agent-based simulations to model complex, stochastic environments at scale
Develop predictive and prescriptive models to optimize throughput, latency, and resource utilization
Partner with robotics, software, and operations teams to:
Create digital twins of warehouse environments to enable scenario testing and capacity planning
Deliver clear insights and recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders
In this role, you will build high-fidelity simulations of large-scale robotic fleets, optimize system performance, and inform strategic product and operational decisions.
Collaborate with world-class engineers and scientists
We depend on the collective voices of our employees, customers and community to help guide us as we build a better place to work - for you and the world.

Requirements

Minimum 5 years of experience in the following:
Strong experience with:
Ability to translate real-world system behavior into computational models
Up to 10% of travel may be required.

Nice to have

Robotics, warehouse automation, logistics, or supply chain systems
Fleet optimization or multi-agent systems
