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

Symbotic is looking for a talented Senior ML Ops Engineer to join our Perception team. You will assist in the development of deep learning perception models that will help our fleet of autonomous robots to accomplish their missions safely, accurately, and with super-human efficiency. You will play a hands-on role in scaling new and existing algorithms to limit downtime and increase efficiency of our automated system. Expect to develop solutions based on the latest ML tools and industry thinking and allow us to automate the development, testing and deployment of ML models and tools that will process data from various sensors. Symbotic is looking for people who thrive in a fast paced and creative environment.

What we do

Our work matters – robotics is transforming the world of commerce. Every day our intelligent robots are responsible for getting food and merchandise to thousands of stores across North America. We’re an industry changer – we created the first and only fully autonomous, end-to-end supply chain solution. Today, we are driving towards even bigger ideas – and we have the people, technology, and leadership to fully realize these aspirations. We have the excitement and ambition of a startup with the benefits and resources of a proven organization.
