New Grad- Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

We want to learn from you! At Symbotic, early career talent helps us solve critical issues in creative and innovative ways. That is why we are seeking a new graduate from an accredited University for this opportunity. By joining Symbotic, new grads will be a part of an established team, contribute to real projects, and help develop solutions. New grads will be exposed to training and mentorship from our leaders while being encouraged to leverage their unique ideas and perspective.

What we need

Symbotic is seeking a New Grad- Manufacturing Engineer to join our External Manufacturing team within our Manufacturing organization. Your job will be to support external manufacturing partners and internal engineering teams by helping improve manufacturing processes, prepare products for production, and support manufacturing readiness for our automated systems.

This is a cross-functional opportunity for an early career engineer interested in gaining experience across mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and process engineering.

What we do

The External Manufacturing team sits within the External Manufacturing organization and partners with external manufacturers and internal engineering teams to support the production of Symbotic's automated solutions. Since manufacturing is performed through external partners, the team works closely with suppliers and cross-functional teams to establish manufacturing processes, support production readiness, manage engineering changes, and help ensure products can be manufactured efficiently and reliably.

What you'll do

• Support senior engineers and external manufacturing partners on manufacturing readiness, production support, and continuous improvement activities.
• Partner with Engineering and Quality teams to prepare manufacturing readiness documentation, support engineering changes, and help maintain standard manufacturing processes and procedures.
• Work across mechanical and electrical systems, including reviewing drawings, manufacturing requirements, and production-related technical documentation.
• Support Design for Manufacturability activities and help identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, quality, efficiency, and scalability.
• Assist with troubleshooting manufacturing and design challenges and collaborate with internal teams and external partners to identify practical solutions.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives, including opportunities to use dashboards, data, automation, or AI-enabled tools to improve team efficiency.
• Travel to external manufacturing partner locations as needed to gain hands-on exposure to manufacturing operations and support production activities.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Internship, co-op, academic project, or other hands-on exposure to manufacturing, automation, prototyping, or engineering processes.
• Foundational knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, additive manufacturing, assembly, or related production methods.
• Ability to interpret and work with mechanical or electrical engineering documentation, with an interest in developing experience across both disciplines.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with an interest in process improvement and learning how products move from engineering into manufacturing.
• Interest in using data, dashboards, automation, or emerging tools to improve manufacturing and engineering processes.

Our Environment

• Up to 25% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver's license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client locations and company HQ.
• Employees may be required to use a personal credit card for business travel expenses, which are reimbursed based on the program guidelines. Eligible employees may receive a corporate credit card based on role and travel requirements, but a personal credit card may be needed during onboarding until the corporatecard is issued.
