Senior CAD Designer

Who we areWith 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 Symbotic is seeking a highly skilled Senior AutoCAD Designer to join our Systems Layout & Structural Engineering Team. This senior technical role focuses on producing advanced 2D AutoCAD deliverables for complex steel structures, automation systems, and large scale robotics projects. While all drawings are produced in 2D AutoCAD, this role must work closely with our 3D Revit Team to ensure alignment between 2D layouts, 3D models, and overall project intent.

The ideal candidate brings deep AutoCAD expertise, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to lead design efforts across multidisciplinary teams. This position also plays a key role in mentoring junior designers, influencing CAD standards, and driving quality and consistency across the organization.

What we doThe System Layout Engineering team is part of the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Organization, which is responsible for developing the customer’s warehouse layout, facilitating supply chain execution, and delivering world-class support to the installation team. The System Layout Engineering team drives warehouse design excellence through the incorporation of internal and external customer feedback with a consistent focus on reducing costs for both material and project execution lead times.

What you'll doLead the creation, modification, and management of highly complex 2D AutoCAD drawings for steel structures, automation systems, and robotic layouts.

Coordinate closely with the 3D Revit Team to ensure 2D deliverables accurately reflect 3D models, spatial constraints, and structural requirements.

Interpret engineering specifications, architectural plans, and technical documents to produce complete and accurate design packages.

Own and enforce CAD standards, quality control processes, and best practices across the design team.

Review, validate, and approve drawings created by junior designers to ensure accuracy, constructability, and compliance.

Identify design risks early, propose solutions, and support technical decision making for large scale projects.

Manage multiple complex projects simultaneously with minimal supervision, ensuring on time delivery of all drawing packages.

Mentor and train junior Designers in CAD techniques, standards, workflows, and project execution.

Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of CAD templates, libraries, automation tools, and drafting workflows.

Ensure all drawings comply with industry codes, internal standards, and regulatory requirements.

Collaborate with sales, engineering, manufacturing, installation teams, and external partners to support project success from concept through installation.

Deliver drawing packages that reduce field rework, installation delays, and engineering change orders.

Maintain drawing accuracy and consistency that supports efficient fabrication and installation.

Improve team productivity by contributing to CAD standards, reusable content, and workflow optimization.

Serve as a technical authority for 2D structural and automation layout design, influencing long-term CAD strategy, including programming language (AutoLISP; PYTHON} trends and improvements for automated creation of 2D geometry.

Ensure project deliverables meet or exceed quality benchmarks, contributing to customer satisfaction and repeat business.

What you'll need Minimum 5+ years of AutoCAD design experience in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, or related fields.

Expert level proficiency in 2D AutoCAD with the ability to produce complex, highly detailed drawings.

Strong understanding of engineering principles, steel structures, and construction/manufacturing processes.

Proven ability to lead design efforts and coordinate with cross functional teams, including 3D modeling groups.

Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills.

Experience in material handling, automation…
