3D Graphics Advanced Software Engineer

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 need

We are seeking a Mid‑Level 3D Graphics Software Engineer to play a key role in developing the visualization and simulation systems that model, analyze, and validate our autonomous warehouse solutions.

In this role, you will design and implement high‑performance 3D visualization, simulation, and digital‑twin technologies used to represent large, dynamic warehouse environments consisting of thousands of robots, sensors, and automated subsystems. Your work will directly support system design, debugging, validation, and operational insight across Symbotic deployments.

What we do

Symbotic is revolutionizing warehouse automation by combining intelligent robotics, artificial intelligence, and large-scale software systems. Simulation team collaborate closely with robotics engineers, controls engineers, systems architects, and product teams to ensure that our graphics and simulation software accurately represents real‑world behavior while remaining performant, scalable, and maintainable.

What you'll do

Design, implement, and maintain 3D visualization and simulation systems for automated warehouse environments.

Architect and optimize rendering pipelines capable of handling large‑scale, highly dynamic scenes.

Build and evolve digital twin representations that accurately reflect real‑world robotic layouts and system state.

Analyze and resolve performance bottlenecks across CPU and GPU for simulation and visualization workloads.

Own graphics and visualization features end‑to‑end, from initial design through production deployment.

Collaborate with robotics, controls, and systems teams to ensure visual accuracy and alignment with physical behavior.

Develop tools and diagnostics used by internal teams for debugging, analysis, and operational insight.

Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical design reviews.

Mentor junior engineers and help establish best practices for graphics and simulation development.

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Minimum of 5 years of professional experience developing 3D graphics, simulation, or visualization software.

Strong proficiency in modern C++/C# or similar language, with an emphasis on performance, correctness, and maintainability.

Deep understanding of 3D math, spatial transformations, and coordinate systems.

Hands‑on experience with at least one graphics or rendering API (OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX, Metal, or similar).

Proven experience profiling and optimizing real‑time or near‑real‑time systems.

Experience shipping and maintaining production‑quality software.

Strong debugging, analytical thinking, and problem‑solving skills.

Excellent collaboration and communication skills in cross‑disciplinary environments.

Nice‑to‑Have Qualifications

Experience with robotics simulation, digital twins, or industrial visualization.

Familiarity with physics, kinematics, or discrete‑event simulation concepts.

Experience integrating graphics with large‑scale systems or real‑time data feeds.

Exposure to game engines (Unity, Unreal) or custom engines used for simulation.

Python experience for tooling, automation, or analysis

Experience with Node.js, React, WebGL.

Background in warehouse automation, robotics, manufacturing, or industrial software.

Impact and Growth

Direct ownership of visualization and simulation systems critical to Symbotic’s product development and deployments.

Opportunity to influence the architecture and technical direction of large‑scale digital twin platforms.

Work at the intersection of graphics, robotics, and real‑world automation.

Clear growth path toward senior technical roles or domain leadership in simulation and visualization.

The chance to see your work directly enable safer, more efficient, and higher‑throughput warehouse operations.

Our environment

Up to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.

The employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.
