Symbotic LLC
Who We Are 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. What We Need We are looking for a Robotics Planning Engineer to join our team. You will play a hands-on role in designing, developing, and testing the planning intelligence that coordinates inventory flow into the Symbotic system and customer order fulfillment. This role spans multi-robot motion planning, tasking, inventory management, and system-level orchestration of fleets of mobile robots across software layers, and is ideal for an engineer who brings innovative ideas into real-world systems and thrives in a creative, collaborative, and agile development environment. What We Do The planning stack is one of the core technology differentiators that unlocks productivity, scalability, and resilience across the Symbotic system. Our team develops algorithms and software frameworks that coordinate autonomous robots, inventory movement, task execution, and system behavior across layers in challenging dynamic warehouse environments. We combine optimization, simulation, real-time decision-making, and production engineering to improve throughput, reduce operational bottlenecks, and continuously raise overall system performance at scale. What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and test real-time, high-performance planning software for large-scale robotic systems, with scope spanning routing, tasking, inventory flow, and system design.
- Build and optimize algorithms and services for multi-robot motion planning, task allocation, inventory-aware decision-making, and traffic management in dynamic warehouse environments.
- Develop planning logic that coordinates behavior across software layers, connecting robot-level execution with fleet-level orchestration and higher-level system objectives.
- Create simulation and modeling tools to validate planning strategies, stress-test edge cases, and evaluate system robustness, throughput, and operational trade-offs under realistic conditions.
- Integrate planning solutions into production systems, analyze telemetry and performance data, and collaborate cross-functionally with robotics, perception, controls, cloud, operations, and systems engineering teams.
- Support production deployments by triaging issues, improving diagnostics, documenting technical designs, and driving continuous improvement across the planning stack. Up to 10% travel may be required.
- You have experiences in robotics, algorithm development, or related software engineering roles.
- You have strong experience in one or more of the following areas{{:}}
- Multi-agent Pathfinding and heuristics search
- Robotics motion planning
- Task allocation, inventory management systems, and operation research
- Machine learning for robotics planning or large-scale decision making
- Real-time decision-making systems, and micro-service cluster architecture
- You have strong programming skills in object-oriented languages such as C# or C++, and you apply sound software engineering practices to production-quality code.
- You have a strong background in data structures, algorithms, optimization, distributed or multi-agent systems, and designing software that coordinates behavior across components and layers.
- You are comfortable using simulation, experimentation, and data analysis to evaluate performance, robustness, scalability, and system-level behavior in complex planning environments.
- You demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, collaborate effectively across disciplines, and communicate complex technical concepts clearly across both algorithm and system domains.
- You have a Bachelor, Master or Ph.D. degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Up to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
- The employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.
