Senior CAD Designer

About the role

Symbotic is seeking a highly skilled Senior AutoCAD Designer to join our Systems Layout & Structural Engineering Team. This senior technical role focuses on producing advanced 2D AutoCAD deliverables for complex steel structures, automation systems, and largescale robotics projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead the creation, modification, and management of highly complex 2D AutoCAD drawings for steel structures, automation systems, and robotic layouts.
• Cook up close with the 3D Revit Team to ensure 2D deliverables accurately reflect 3D models, spatial constraints, and structural requirements.
• Interpret engineering specifications, architectural plans, and technical documents to produce complete and accurate design packages.
• Own and enforce CAD standards, quality control processes, and best practices across the design team.
• Review, validate, and approve drawings created by junior designers to ensure accuracy, constructability, and compliance.
• Identify design risks early, propose solutions, and support technical decision making for largescale projects.
• Manage multiple complex projects simultaneously with minimal supervision, ensuring on time delivery of all drawing packages.
• Mentor and train junior Designers in CAD techniques, standards, workflows, and project execution.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of CAD templates, libraries, automation tools, and drafting workflows.
• Ensure all drawings comply with industry codes, internal standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with sales, engineering, manufacturing, installation teams, and external partners to support project success from concept through installation.
• Deliver drawing packages that reduce field rework, installation delays, and engineering change orders.
• Ensure project deliverables meet or exceed quality benchmarks, contributing to customer satisfaction and repeat business.

Requirements

• Minimum 5+ years of AutoCAD design experience in engineering, architecture, manufacturing, or related fields.
• Expert level proficiency in 2D AutoCAD with the ability to produce complex, highly detailed drawings.
• Strong understanding of engineering principles, steel structures, and construction/manufacturing processes.
• Proven ability to lead design efforts and coordinate with cross functional teams, including 3D modeling groups.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
• Experience in material handling, automation systems, or industrial environments is a strong plus.
