Electromechanical Automation Reliability Technician

Build reliability into cutting‑edge automation

Help Symbotic stand up a new operation in Jackson, GA and keep an advanced network of automated adapters, vertical lifts, conveyors, and robotic vehicles running at peak performance.

Role Snapshot

• Initial schedule: Monday–Friday day shift.
• Future operating model: 24/7 with two 12‑hour rotations:
• Rotation 1: Sun–Tue + alternating Wed, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM (Days) or 6:00 PM–6:00 AM (Nights)
• Rotation 2: Thu–Sat + alternating Wed, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM (Days) or 6:00 PM–6:00 AM (Nights)
• Seeking candidates who can start on days and flex to either rotation.

Impact You’ll Make

• Conduct inspections on ASRS equipment, automated adapters/lifts, and robotic vehicles.
• Calibrate, adjust, repair, replace, and modify components to sustain continuous flow.
• Control the flow of goods (manual inbound, automatic inbound, automatic outbound) to maximize throughput and cases/hour.
• Diagnose anomalies and stoppages using schematics, wiring diagrams, and advanced test tools.
• Perform time‑bound preventive and corrective maintenance; capture parts, labor, and work details in the CMMS.
• Clearly communicate downtime drivers, recommended actions, and ETA to restore production.
• Recover robotic vehicles in the Symbotic Matrix select system, including operations in confined spaces.
• Execute light fabrication/utility work (machining holes/brackets, cutting steel, sensor alignment, installing Unistrut).
