What We Need

We are looking for a Manager of Mechanical Engineering to join our Fleet Robotics team within our Hardware Engineering organization. Your job will be to lead the mechanical development team responsible for a mobile robot product line from concept through production, including hardware design, manufacturing readiness, and sustaining improvements. This role is critical to scaling reliable robotic platforms by combining strong product engineering, contract manufacturer collaboration, and hands-on production problem solving.

We’re looking for a creative and collaborative individual who thrives in an agile development environment and is passionate about solving real-world robotics challenges. This role requires not only deep technical expertise but also strong communication and leadership skills to work effectively across cross-functional teams.

What We Do

The Fleet Robotics team is part of our Hardware Engineering organization, which is responsible for designing, launching, and sustaining the mobile 4-wheeled robotic platforms that power Symbotic’s warehouse automation system. This team develops next-generation robotic hardware while improving current production products for quality, cost, and performance. Fleet Robotics partners closely with Electrical, Software, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Field Operations teams to deliver robust robotic systems at scale.

  • Drive the development of mechanical assemblies including structural frames, drive systems, electromechanical packaging, and supporting hardware components.
  • Collaborate with contract manufacturers, supporting production builds, troubleshooting defects, and resolving quality escapes through RCCA methods.
  • Ensure project plans and delivery commitments are met on-time
  • Coach, mentor, and lead a diverse group of 5-10 engineers, helping them to grow technically and professionally.
  • Promote and instill best practices in mechanical engineering development and production field issue problem solving.
  • Help attract and develop top tier talent through recruitment activities and workforce development.

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/Electrical/Aerospace Engineering or related technical discipline.
  • Minimum of 8 years engineering experience, including at least 2 years management experience focused on robotics, automation, automotive, aerospace, or electromechanical systems.
  • Strong proficiency with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools, plus experience with PDM/PLM systems.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting contract manufacturers, including DFM reviews, ECNs, and production issue resolution.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills with the ability to partner effectively with suppliers, manufacturers, and internal engineering teams.
  • Willing to travel up to 25% (field site visits).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Masters/PHd Degree in Mechanical/Electrical/Aerospace Engineering.
  • Experience with mobile robots, AGV, AMR, or warehouse automation systems.
  • Familiarity with PPAP, FMEA, and quality systems in high-volume manufacturing environments.
  • Experience with structural or thermal FEA using ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation.
  • Hands-on experience designing jigs, fixtures, tooling, or manufacturing support equipment.
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing methods such as sheet metal, machining, injection molding, and die casting.
  • Exposure to field service troubleshooting, sustaining engineering, or post-launch product support.

Our environment

  • Up to 25% 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.
