About Mytra:

We're creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We're applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We're focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions. What has been a "sleepy" industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy.

About the Role:

Mytra's Systems Engineering team is seeking a Robotics Systems Engineer to architect, debug, and operationally support our autonomous robotic systems across both product and infrastructure domains. As a Systems Integration Engineer, you'll be the technical authority for complex system-level challenges, providing expert debugging and operational support for our mobile autonomous systems. You'll work at the intersection of hardware and software, ensuring robust performance of robotic systems in demanding warehouse environments, while supporting scalable infrastructure for fleet operations.

Responsibilities:

• Lead critical system debugging as the technical authority, conducting root-cause analysis of complex failures involving physical mechanisms, embedded devices, UNIX OSes, and radio networking
• Own fix implementations and new feature rollouts, providing technical leadership from discovery through implementation
• Design observability and support features to improve the health monitoring, diagnostics, and remote intervention capabilities of the deployed fleet
• Drive improvement in Mytra's issue capture, analytics, and reporting pipeline, to maintain a deep understanding of how issues impact and inform engineering priority
• Ensure the operational health of early-stage prototype fleets, working side-by-side with test engineers and software developers to keep test platforms operating and engineering progress unblocked

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a systems engineer, mechatronics engineer, field engineer, or similar role, including direct experience in the development and deployment of mobile autonomous systems
• Strong understanding of core robotics engineering concepts including BLDC motor control, sensing technology, embedded communication protocols, and state-space control
• Basic experience with Python, for scripting, data analysis, and software debugging
• Capability to perform highly hands-on electro-mechanical prototyping, harness assembly, and mechanical inspections
• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, related field, or equivalent work experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• You have expert-level debugging experience, with a passion for systematically diagnosing complex system failures across hardware-software interfaces
• You can lead cross-functional technical initiatives, translating complex systems challenges into actionable engineering tasks, while mentoring junior engineers on system-level thinking
• You're excited about solving novel challenges in warehouse automation, building systems that operate reliably in unstructured environments with minimal human intervention
• Uncertainty isn't scary, and you're willing to realize mistakes and pivot
• You value openness, inquisitiveness, and constant ambition

A Final Note:

You're encouraged to apply even if you can't take on every example project in its totality. We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.

Benefits Include:

• Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
• Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents
• 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
• Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ-we eat and share stories together at the "long" table
• Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
• Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
• Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
• Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
• Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
• Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
