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
Come lead the development of cutting‑edge distributed cooperative robotics.
We’re looking for creative thinkers to help solve for extremely ambitious goals.
You’ll get an opportunity to work on electro‑mechanical systems in close collaboration with the electrical and software teams.
Our team is focused on fast iteration and learning, so you’ll have the opportunity to have your designs built quickly, test them, and take those test results to design improvements.
- What You’ll Do
- Create novel electro‑mechanical mechanisms and systems for a mobile robotics platform and validate them using rapid prototyping fabrication methods
- Build, debug and support prototype robots
- Develop designs for volume production methods, knowledge of casting, injection molding, stamping, and other volume production processes
- Perform failure‑mode analysis
- Create work instructions for fabricating robotic systems
- Develop concepts for systems to meet design requirements
- Support robot deployments at customer sites as required
- Redesign robotic systems for volume manufacturing, focusing on reliability and cost optimization
- Ideal Candidates
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics with 3+ years of industry experience
- Experience designing and debugging electromechanical systems
- Proficiency in designing parts and assemblies using 3D modeling software (Solidworks and Onshape preferred). FEA experience (ANSYS preferred) an asset.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast‑paced and challenging environment
- Hands‑on experience with 3D printing, sheet metal design, casting, injection molding, prototype manufacturing and assembly
- Nice To Have
- Experience drafting engineering drawings, conducting tolerance stack‑up analysis, GD&T, etc.
- Experience with embedded and edge devices, programming, industrial engineering, electrical system selection and design a plus
- A Final Note
If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box.
At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans.
We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we’re lifelong learners committed to getting better every day.
We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure.
The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last.
