About The Position

Symbotic is seeking a Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering Design to lead and develop the electrical design team responsible for the PCB-based electronics, harnesses, and electrical integration that power and connect Symbotic’s robotic systems. This role is crucial for turning intelligence into physical action through the power, sensing, compute, harnesses, and electrical integration that bring Physical AI to life. The ideal candidate is a relentless problem solver who can motivate a world-class team, manage multiple high-priority programs, and ensure the team is engaged and focused on critical program goals. Experience in robotics, automotive, industrial automation, or similarly complex electromechanical products is highly valued.

Requirements

15+ years of experience and bachelor’s degree or greater in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
Demonstrated people-management experience, including hiring, performance management, workload planning, and developing senior-level electrical engineers and technical leaders.
Strong hands-on electrical engineering background with experience designing and reviewing PCBAs, cables, harnesses, and system-level electrical integration for robotics, industrial automation, automotive, or similarly complex electromechanical products.
Expertise with Altium for schematic capture and PCB layout, with strong knowledge of power integrity and signal integrity.
Hands-on experience with design verification testing (DVT) and taking electrical hardware from design and prototype through verification, release, and production.
Experience developing hardware within a structured product development or phase-gate process and working with contract manufacturers and cross-functional engineering teams.
Working knowledge of design for manufacturability, testability and reliability, engineering change and PLM processes, with familiarity in EMC and functional safety principles.

Responsibilities

Build, lead, and develop a world-class electrical design team, including hiring senior, staff, and principal engineers, developing the people already here, managing performance, and creating an environment where strong engineers can solve challenging technical problems.
Provide hands-on technical leadership across the electrical product lifecycle, from early concepts and architecture through schematic and PCB design, bring-up, design verification testing (DVT), release, and production.
Lead the electrical design and integration of PCBAs, cables, harnesses, and related interfaces supporting power, sensing, compute, communications, and control within Symbotic’s robotic platforms.
Drive multiple complex programs simultaneously, setting and resetting priorities as needs evolve while keeping a high-performing team engaged, focused, and moving toward critical program goals.
Drive the adoption and implementation of new technologies across electrical design, helping the team turn new capabilities into proven hardware that can be manufactured and deployed in production.
Review schematics and PCB layouts in Altium and provide technical direction across power integrity, signal integrity, manufacturability, testability, reliability, cost, and overall system integration.
Partner with mechanical, firmware, test, manufacturing, operations, functional safety, and contract manufacturing teams to move electrical hardware through Symbotic’s product development process and into production.
