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 robotics team is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to develop software critical for motion control, task execution, and safety management of our robotic fleet as we scale. You will collaborate closely across multidisciplinary hardware and software teams, own firmware development throughout the product lifecycle, and contribute significantly to real-time embedded systems critical to our robot's performance.
Responsibilities:
- Deliver high quality code across many layers of the robotics software stack
- Implement highly performant and real time code for critical control and safety functions
- Identify performance, maintainability, and reliability of code changes
- Contribute to the complete life cycle of software features including feature definition, implementation, test plan, and roll out strategy
- Assess and contribute to long-term architectural decisions as software evolves
- Lead and manage integration of initial prototype systems including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha and beta phase prototype robots
Qualifications:
- BS in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
- Strong experience with Python, particularly focused on application and process level development
- Experience with C/C++/Rust and system level environments
- Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems into actionable incremental progress in a continuous integration development environment
- Experience coding in concurrent and multithreaded environments
- Understanding of electromechanical systems, kinematics, and robotics control
- Experience with network communication technologies, including CAN, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, and pub/sub frameworks like NATS
- Understanding of how hardware changes affect robotics software and vice-versa
- Understanding of Git and software version management
- Strong knowledge of software design and maintainability patterns
- Preferred experience in embedded software and/or firmware development
- Ability to fluently interpret system data to root cause logged faults and build robust diagnostic tools
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Linux operating systems and kernel fundamentals
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 + equity grants at a high growth company backed by top tier VCs
- Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), commuter benefits, and pet insurance
- Lively modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build and test phases
- Lunch and snacks provided in the office; we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
- Flexible hours and flexible PTO
