Industrial Robotics Service & Calibration Specialist

Are you the go‑to troubleshooter everyone calls when automation stops?

If parsing schematics, dialing in sensors, and rescuing a stalled robot in a tight spot sounds like your perfect day, Symbotic’s new Jackson, GA site wants you.

Your Mission

• Become the on‑site expert across mechanical, PLC, electrical, and electronic subsystems powering automated adapters, vertical lifts, conveyors, and a fleet of robotic vehicles.
• Keep material moving—inspect, calibrate, repair, and modify systems to hit throughput targets and cases per hour.
• Respond to anomalies fast: use wiring diagrams, schematics, and advanced test gear to pinpoint issues.
• Execute inspections on schedule, document parts and labor thoroughly, and close work orders in the CMMS.
• Communicate clearly about production impacts and provide realistic time‑to‑repair estimates.
• Recover vehicles in the Symbotic Matrix select system—even in restrictive environments.
• Handle minor fabrication/utility work: machine holes/brackets, cut steel, align sensors, install Unistrut.
• Own robotic arm setup, calibration, troubleshooting, and tool changes.
• Champion 5S every shift; step into Cell Operator responsibilities when needed; take on other tasks assigned by leadership.

Growth & Schedule

• Launch with a Monday–Friday day shift.
• Transition to 24/7 operations with two 12‑hour teams:
• Team A: Sunday–Tuesday + alternating Wednesday, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM or 6:00 PM–6:00 AM
• Team B: Thursday–Saturday + alternating Wednesday, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM or 6:00 PM–6:00 AM
• We’re hiring those ready to start on days and pivot to either team when the site scales.

Do You Have What It Takes?

• Associate degree/cert in electronics, automotive, automation, or manufacturing—or equivalent experience (preferred).
• At least 3 years working with mechanical automation systems (or a strong educational equivalent).
• Advanced troubleshooting chops and fluency with electro‑mechanical diagrams.
• Comfort operating and running automated systems.
• PLC knowledge and troubleshooting experience.
• Proven inspection skills; able to work independently from procedures/manuals.

Work Conditions Reality Check

• Steep stairs, elevated railings, and heights reaching 45 feet.
• Confined areas down to 24 inches.
• Temperature swings from 105° to 32° Fahrenheit.
• Construction phases require PPE: hard hat, safety vest, steel‑toe footwear, safety glasses, hearing protection, and fall protection (e.g., harness).
• Lift up to 50 lbs; move up to 80 lbs safely and efficiently.
• Stand/walk 10–12 hours; frequent reaching; climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl as needed.
• Capable of feeling, seeing, hearing, bending, twisting, stooping, pushing, pulling, balancing, gripping, climbing, crawling, sitting, handling objects, and repetitive movement using both hands and feet.
• Safety compliance is a must.

Strengths & Tech Stack

• Strengths: Mechanical troubleshooting; electrical troubleshooting and repair; working with 120/208/240/480 VAC power.
• Technologies: VFDs, PLCs, conveyor systems, servo motors.
