Company mission
To automate the most common industrial tasks - moving and storing materials - with flexible, scalable and intuitive robotics and AI.
Role
Who you are
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
- Coursework or project experience in control theory, kinematics, dynamics, or system modeling for electromechanical systems
- Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded and/or high-level control software
- Exposure to motor control (BLDC, stepper, servo) and sensor integration (e.g. encoders, IMUs, cameras) through coursework, labs, projects, or competition teams
- Comfortable working in Linux-based development environments and with Git version control workflows
- A bias toward simple, elegant, robust solutions over unnecessary control system complexity
- Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to debug complex electromechanical systems at both the hardware and software level, often with limited telemetry
- Demonstrated interest in approaching challenges with a physics-based, first-principles mindset
- If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box
Desirable
- Experience with real-time operating systems (e.g. FreeRTOS, RT Linux, Zephyr) or bare-metal embedded firmware
- Familiarity with CAN, pub/sub communication frameworks (e.g. NATS, ROS2), or distributed control architectures
- Hands-on experience implementing state estimation or control algorithms such as PID, trajectory generation, Kalman filtering, or localization
- Familiarity with physics-based simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing, or CI/CD for robotics
- Exposure to safety-critical system design standards (e.g. ISO 13849, IEC 61508)
- Experience with lab and embedded debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, or SWD
- Prior internship, research lab, or competition experience (e.g. FIRST Robotics, FSAE, RoboMaster) building and debugging hardware systems
What the job involves
- This intern will participate as a team member of the robotics firmware team, contributing to the bring up of firmware components including hardware drivers, communication protocols, and controls functions that allow the robot to communicate, actuate, estimate, and meet the product specifications required for launch of the product
- Support the development and tuning of motion control components for multi-axis robotic systems, including actuator control, trajectory generation, and path execution
- Implement and test control loops for position, velocity, torque, and force control, and compare real-world behavior against model-based predictions
- Contribute to state estimation work, including sensor fusion and Kalman filter–based estimators, in both simulation and on hardware
- Work with distributed communication interfaces (e.g. CAN, NATS, ROS2) to move data between controllers, sensors, and actuators
- Support motor and sensor bring-up, including calibration, diagnostics, and characterization of encoders, IMUs, and BLDC/stepper/servo drives
- Iterate between simulation and hardware testing to reproduce corner cases, debug issues, and improve robustness
- Write clear, maintainable C++ and Python for both real-time and high-level control software
Our take
Since the pandemic exposed weaknesses in global supply chains, warehouses have struggled with labour shortages and outdated ways of working. Many facilities still rely heavily on manual procese, with little automation in place. THis has made it harder for companies to move goods efficiently at a time when demand, costs, and complexity are all rising.
Mytra is tackling this problem by rethinking how materials move inside warehouses and industrial facilities. Founded in 2022 by former Tesla engineers, the company is building a software-driven system that treats material movement like a programmable platform rather than a fixed piece of machinery. Its modular robotic solution can move, store, and route heavy goods while making better use of warehouse space, helping facilities reduce wasted aisles and unused areas. And early deployments have already shown meaningful results, including large reductions in manual labour and significant improvements in storage density.
In 2026, Mytra raised a $120M Series C round to scale its technology following a breakthrough year in which it signed contracts with some of the world's largest organizations. The company now counts Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 customers, completed a deployment many times larger than any previous installation, and expanded its team rapidly with senior hires an a new, much larger facility. Backed by major investors and strategic partners, Mytra is positioning itself not just as a warehouse robotics company, but as a foundational platform for how goods are moved across modern supply chains.
