## About the role

Symbotic is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to drive electrical design for automated material-handling robots and related platforms. In this role you will lead the conceptualization, architecture, design, analysis, fabrication, integration, and test of complex electrical systems — not only PCBAs and cables, but the full bot-level electrical system — from concept through production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Drive designs from concept through production: architecture, schematic, PCB layout, prototype, DVT, design freeze, production release, and sustaining
- Follow and lead others through the PDP — phase gates, design reviews, requirements, verification, and release discipline — so the team ships on a repeatable path
- Design schematics and PCB layouts in Altium — not layout guidance only. Own stackup, placement, routing, SI/PI, EMC-aware layout, and DFM through release
- Apply DfX (DFM, DFA, DFT, DFS, and related) so designs are manufacturable, testable, serviceable, and cost-capable at the contract manufacturer
- Work in PLM (BOMs, ECOs/ECNs, item and document release) and with contract manufacturers to enable builds, first article, and production ramp
- Write requirements and test plans, plan and execute the testing needed to validate safety, function, and robustness of the design, including support of EMC/EMI bring-up and mitigation
