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
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience
- You are a proficient software engineer, with a track record of deploying robust validation pipelines for hardware systems
- Familiarity with systems engineering validation processes, including validation planning, burn down tracking, and ownership of end-to-end system reliability
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent
- Expert proficiency with Python and Linux-based environments
- Familiarity with system-level languages (C/C++/Rust) to debug at the firmware level
- Experience developing firmware validation tests for both HIL and SIL testing
- Experience with communication standards (CAN, I2C, SPI) and electromechanical systems
- Proficiency in agent-driven coding practices (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to increase engineering velocity and validate agent-generated code
- Professional mastery of Git and software version management
- If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box
Desirable
- Experience building and maintaining fleet-wide release qualification for robotic, automotive or industrial automation systems
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD principles and workflows for SIL/HIL and experience building these systems from scratch
- Familiarity with observability for distributed systems, including metrics, logs, traces, data lakes, and alerting
- Experience with embedded debugging workflows, including JTAG, SWD, core dumps, and trace tools
- Experience with containerized CI systems and build orchestration, including Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm Charts
- Hands-on experience with lab automation and hardware test infrastructure, including relay control, power cycling, and instrumentation
- Exposure to functional safety or reliability practices, including DFMEA and incident postmortems
What the job involves
- As a Senior System Validation Engineer at Mytra, you will join our Software Validation & Release Team during a period of fast-paced growth as we develop & scale Mytra's next generation system
- On this team, you will work closely with engineers across the organization to drive system reliability, while also building scalable practices, tools and infrastructure to enable teams to ship complex, hardware-dependent code quickly without compromising reliability
- Work directly with multiple engineering teams to proactively identify gaps in system architecture, validation pipelines and test infrastructure
- Own the full life-cycle from gap identification to deploying automated validation processes that improve reliability across the Mytra system
- Build and scale automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL) and simulation test infrastructure to ensure robust regression detection
- Perform deep-dive root cause analysis and fix hardware, software, and firmware issues identified throughout the release process
- Own system validation burn down - tracking issues in the release pipeline, driving them to closure, and enforcing accountability across software, firmware, and hardware domains
- Manage teams of agents to deploy and maintain internal validation and release web products that enable cooperation, velocity and reliability across the Mytra organization
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.
