Robotics Infrastructure Engineer II

Infrastructure engineer supporting distributed robotics infrastructure, production Linux environments, and software deployments to commercial customer sites. At Symbotic, I support robotic warehouse systems, troubleshoot hardware and software faults, and develop Python tools for operational recovery. Experienced with vision container deployments to Walmart sites through the MLOps Change Request process and post-deployment validation.

About

I keep distributed robotics systems running: vision container deployments, post-update checks, and hardware and software recovery across automated warehouse sites. I develop Python support tools and use SQL, Tableau, and Sankey data to investigate recurring faults and improve recovery workflows.

  • Production deployments on Ubuntu
  • RHEL systems administration
  • SQL, Tableau & Sankey telemetry
  • Prior U.S. Secret Clearance

    Robotics Infrastructure Engineer II

    • Support periodic vision container deployments to Walmart customer sites using Ubuntu Linux, Python, and shell scripts, coordinating production changes with the MLOps team through the Change Request (CR) process.
    • Run post-deployment script checks to identify robots with failed vision container updates and review command-line logs to verify deployment results.
    • Own robotics infrastructure support, teleoperations, and recovery procedures across distributed automated warehouse installations.
    • Monitor production systems and analyze SQL, Tableau, and Sankey data to identify recurring faults, performance trends, and operational bottlenecks.
    • Maintain Python-based support tools, technical runbooks, and escalation procedures; document and track operational issues in Confluence and Jira.
