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
You’ll be the Senior Reliability Engineer who owns complex production investigations end to end — from root cause, through customer communication, through verified corrective action. You’ll be the face of our RCA process to customers and senior leadership, the analyst who turns incident trends into strategic improvements, and a mentor who raises the quality bar for the whole team.
What you’ll do
•
Lead high-impact RCA investigations for complex production incidents spanning software, infrastructure, industrial controls, and production SOP execution
•
Chair structured, blameless RCA reviews aligned with ITIL Problem Management — fact-based analysis, clear ownership, timely resolution
•
Serve as the customer-facing technical lead for RCA discussions, updates, and formal deliverables within defined SLA timelines
•
Analyze logs, telemetry, and incident trends across many issues to find recurring failure patterns — then influence teams across the organization to eliminate them
•
Present findings, risks, and recommendations to senior internal leadership and customer stakeholders, backed by data you own end to end
•
Drive Continuous Service Improvement initiatives that measurably reduce repeat incidents and investigation toil through automation, tooling, and reporting
•
Mentor teammates and elevate RCA quality standards as a senior individual contributor
