Senior Robotics Software Engineer
Job Description
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
Experience with C/C++/Rust and system level environments
Strong experience with Python, particularly focused on application and process level development
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
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.

Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents

Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
