<h3>Job Description</h3>
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&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in Robot Perception to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in developing advanced perception systems for our automated warehouse solutions, and work on topics such as object detection and pose estimation, sensor calibration and fusion, tight integration with robot planning and manipulation, and creating comprehensive datasets from millions of cases handled daily. Additionally, you will work on improving our simulation environments to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world performance using state-of-the-art techniques. Your exceptional software engineering skills will drive the advancement of our robotic perception capabilities, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and scalability in our automated warehouse solutions.&nbsp;
What we do&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Vision and Robotics team is dedicated to developing, deploying, and maintaining advanced vision and robotics solutions for our warehouse automation systems. By leveraging our inbound and outbound adapter cells—which connect the storage structure and handle tasks such as depalletizing, singulating cases, and palletizing shipments—we ensure efficient processing and seamless integration with our autonomous robots (Symbots) and AI-powered software. The adapter cells hand over cases to the Symbots, who then place the cases into the storage structure and retrieve them when needed for palletization. Our proven track record in industrial vision and robotics system development, combined with best engineering practices, allows us to continuously push the limits of warehouse automation technology.&nbsp;
