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

We are seeking a Product Manager with a strong technical background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or robotics to lead the development and continuous improvement of our automation and material handling product lines. The Product Manager will bridge the gap between engineering, sales, and operations—owning the product roadmap, defining feature priorities, and ensuring that our products deliver maximum customer value.

What we do

The Cell Engineering team at Symbotic is responsible for developing the robotic work cells and automation equipment that enable us to palletize, depalletize, and manipulate products and cases. The team develops equipment in-house but also works with 3rd party suppliers and design partners to specify complete material handling solutions.

What you’ll do

• Define and maintain the long-term vision and roadmap for robotic and automation systems (conveyors, sorters, palletizing/depalletizing cells, etc.).

• Conduct market and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for innovation and differentiation.

• Create, manage, and prioritize the product backlog of bug fixes, enhancements, and new feature requests.

• Work closely with engineering teams to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and ensure timely delivery of high-impact features.

• Balance technical debt reduction with new product development priorities.

• Collaborate with sales and marketing to support product positioning, pricing, and launch activities.

• Communicate product plans, status, and decisions to stakeholders across all levels of the organization.

• Leverage a background in electrical, mechanical, or robotics engineering to understand system design, integration challenges, and automation technologies.

• Support engineering teams with informed trade-off decisions between cost, complexity, and performance.

• Manage product lifecycle from concept through release, deployment, and continuous improvement.

• Track and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) for system reliability, cost, and customer satisfaction.

What you’ll need

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in product management or engineering within industrial automation, robotics, or material handling.

• Strong understanding of conveyors, sortation systems, ASRS, robotic palletizing/depalletizing, and related technologies.

• Proven experience managing product backlogs and feature roadmaps using tools such as Jira, and Trello.

• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; data-driven decision-making mindset.

Preferred:

• Experience with PLC, controls, or motion systems integration.

• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing, Industry 4.0, or IoT-enabled automation solutions.
