Scpi Python Jobs in Massachusetts (NOW HIRING)

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 do

We areseekinga highly motivated and hands-on Senior TestEngineer(EE)to lead the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of manufacturing test solutions for complex electromechanical and robotic systems. This roleis responsible fordriving electrical test architecture, developing scalable manufacturing test fixtures, supporting PCBA and hardware design, and leading deployment activities across internal manufacturing sites and Contract Manufacturers (CMs).

The ideal candidate has strong experience in hardware design, electrical debugging, automation, and manufacturing support, along with proven leadership capabilities. This individual will lead technical projects, mentor junior engineers, collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware, Software, Manufacturing, and Operations teams, and drive test strategy from concept through production deployment.

What you'll do

• Lead the design and development of electrical schematics, PCBAs, and interface boards for manufacturing test fixtures and validation systems.

• Own end-to-end hardware bring-up activities includingcomponentselection, schematic reviews, layout reviews, soldering/rework, and board-level debugging.

• Architect and develop scalable manufacturing test systems involving power distribution, relays, multiplexing, signal conditioning, DAQ systems, and measurementinstrumentation.

• Develop andmaintainautomated test software and frameworks (Python preferred) for instrument control, test execution, data logging, and production diagnostics.

• Perform advanced electrical debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power analyzers, and protocol analyzers to isolate board-level and system-level failures.

• Lead manufacturing deployment and production support activities across internal sites and Contract Manufacturers (CMs), including troubleshooting, yield improvement, and failure analysis.

• Analyze test data, production failures, and field issues to drive improvements in product reliability, test coverage, and manufacturing efficiency.

• Definetest strategies, validation plans, and manufacturing test requirements for new product introductions (NPI).

• Collaborate closely with Electrical, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to resolve technical challenges and improve system performance.

• Lead technical projects and coordinate execution timelines, deliverables, and deployment readiness.

• Mentor andprovidetechnical guidance to junior engineers and technicians, helpingestablishengineering best practices and debugging methodologies.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for test architecture, fixture reliability, automation, and operational efficiency.

What you'll need

• BS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) with minimum of 8 years of hands-on experience in electrical hardware design, manufacturing test engineering, or system validation.

• Strongexpertisein schematic capture, PCBA design, and hardware development using tools such as Altium, or equivalent.

• Extensive experience in board bring-up, soldering, rework, and component-level debugging.

• Deep understanding of analog and digital circuit design including power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, EMI/noise considerations, and protection circuits.

• Strong hands-on experience with electrical test instrumentation including oscilloscopes, DMMs, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, logic analyzers, and DAQ systems.

• Experience designing and building manufacturing test fixtures involving relays, multiplexers, interface boards, and automated measurement systems.

• Proficiencyin Python or similar scripting languages for test automation and manufacturing diagnostics.

• Strong experience supporting manufacturing environments and working directly with Contract Manufacturers (CMs).

• Experience with communication protocols including CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, and related debugging tools.

• Familiarity with data logging, database integration, test result analytics, and failure trend analysis.

• Experience working with embedded systems, sensors, motor systems, or electromechanical products.

• Proven ability to lead technical projects, drive execution, and mentor junior engineers.

• Strong communication, organizational, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience working with robotics, automation systems, or high-volume manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with SCPI-based instrument control and automated validation frameworks.

• Experience with production diagnostics, reliability testing, and root cause analysis methodologies.

• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, fixture ergonomics, and design-for-test (DFT) principles.

Our environment
