Systems Engineering Lead, Robot Platform

Systems Engineering Lead, Robot Platform 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 is seeking a Systems Engineering Lead to serve as the technical architect and integrator for our robotic platform. This is a lead role responsible for the system-level technical roadmap, cross-disciplinary alignment, and long-term reliability of the product. You will operate at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, controls, perception, software, and infrastructure — ensuring that Mytra’s platform evolves as a coherent system, not a collection of subsystems. Additionally, you will make high-impact decisions that balance performance, cost, safety, reliability, and speed — ensuring Mytra robotic platform scales without accumulating hidden system risk. Responsibilities: Own the end-to-end system architecture of Mytra’s robotic platform across mechanical, electrical, embedded, controls, and software domains Define and evolve the technical roadmap to ensure the platform scales in capability, reliability, and manufacturability Establish clear system boundaries, interfaces, and responsibility splits between engineering teams Mediate high-stakes technical decisions to keep the engineering teams aligned and moving at startup speed Distill complex field data, edge-case failures, and prototype learnings into a clear system-level technical narrative Qualifications: BS, MS, or equivalent practical in engineering with 7+ years of experience in designing and building complex mechatronics systems A passion fo
