System Reliability Test Engineer
Symbotic- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
No degree is required, but preferred expertise is related to Network Engineering, IT, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. A growth mindset and desire to learn are essential, along with a results-oriented focus. Proven experience and proficiency in network equipment configuration is required, as well as skills in interpreting design specifications, datasheets, and technical drawings. Familiarity with Linux and command line interface, including bash, is necessary. Strong knowledge of networks, electrical, and harnessing systems is also required, alongside experience with testing tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and DAQs.
The Test and Integration Engineer will own systems integration from operation to automation in a fast-paced, highly iterative engineering culture. They will configure network equipment, flash circuit boards, and set up Linux machines by running bash scripts in R&D and low-rate production settings. The engineer will write Python and bash scripts to automate configuration processes and collaborate with Electrical, Embedded, and Software Engineers during design stages. They will prepare and maintain detailed design documentation, contribute to technical reports and presentations for stakeholders, support prototype development, and perform hands-on testing to validate design performance. Additionally, they will focus on quality and seek improvements to speed up and simplify processes, developing jigs and stations to increase the speed and yield of manufacturing.
Develops autonomous systems for defense technology
Picogrid develops a unified platform for autonomous systems that integrates various defense technologies, including sensors, drones, and command interfaces. This platform allows for remote control and coordination of these systems, creating a more cohesive defense operation. The company primarily serves military clients, such as the U.S. Army and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, and generates revenue through federal contracts, including a significant $1 billion contract with the Pentagon and a $950 million contract for its Lander sensor platform. Picogrid differentiates itself by focusing on creating an open ecosystem for defense technology suppliers, which enhances collaboration and efficiency in military operations. The company's goal is to improve defense capabilities while expanding its manufacturing operations, with a new factory set to open in 2025 to support job creation and local economies.
