More about this role
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.
Symbotic is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our Perception organization, based in Austin, TX, where our loading dock automation and automated forklift engineering is concentrated. You will play a central, hands-on role in designing and developing perception software for these systems, and will help grow and mentor other engineers as this work scales. While the primary emphasis of this role is deep Perception expertise, the ideal candidate is also comfortable stepping beyond Perception when needed — into areas like Controls, system architecture, CI, program-level planning, or owning customer-facing KPIs — as is typical for senior engineers working on autonomous vehicle systems. We are looking for people who thrive in a creative, collaborative, and agile development environment.
