Symbotic is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design electrical hardware for automated material‑handling robots and related platforms. In this role you will contribute to the schematic design, PCB layout, analysis, prototype support, integration, and test of assigned electrical designs — boards, harnesses, and the interfaces that connect them — from design through release.

You will carry assigned work through Symbotic’s Product Development Process (PDP). You will apply established design practices, broaden your capability in the discipline, and partner with more senior electrical designers and with mechanical, firmware, test, and manufacturing so those designs can be built and tested.

The Electrical Engineering – Bot Hardware team is part of Symbotic’s Hardware Engineering organization and develops the electrical hardware that powers and connects our robotic systems. Our team designs PCB-based electronics, harnesses, and electrical interfaces that support power distribution, sensing, compute, communications, and control across our automation platforms. We partner closely with mechanical, firmware, test, manufacturing, and other engineering teams to integrate these designs into reliable, manufacturable robotic products and support them from development through production.

• Design electrical solutions of moderate scope for assigned boards, harnesses, and interfaces (power, sensing, compute interfaces, interconnect, and grounding), using established methods and precedent, and asking for guidance when the assignment is new.
• Take assigned designs from schematic through prototype and release: schematic capture, PCB layout, bring‑up support, and the documentation needed for review and release.
• Follow the PDP on your work — design reviews, requirements, verification, and release discipline — so assigned designs move on the same path as the rest of the program.
• Design schematics and PCB layouts in Altium for assigned boards. Execute placement, routing, and DFM, and apply the stackup, SI/PI, and EMC practices already used on the platform, with review from a more senior designer.
• Apply DfX (DFM, DFA, DFT, and related) so assigned designs are manufacturable and testable at the contract manufacturer.
• Support PLM work for assigned items (BOM updates, ECO inputs, document release) and support contract‑manufacturer builds.
• Contribute to requirements and test procedures, and execute the testing needed to confirm function of the assigned design, including support of EMC/EMI debug with a more senior engineer.
• Investigate issues in the lab and implement corrective changes on assigned designs, with support on failures that extend beyond the board.
• Select components within approved‑part and design practices for robotics, automation, and automotive‑class environments.
• Give informal guidance to less experienced colleagues on day‑to‑day design tasks.
• Travel occasionally to the lab, a contract manufacturer, or a site to support bring‑up of assigned hardware.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 2+ years of electrical design experience, or…
