Senior Robotics Software Engineer

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.

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.

• →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

• 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

• Experience with Linux operating systems and kernel fundamentals

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.

Compensation for this position will be set based on the candidate's experience level and location. The posted salary band is applicable only to the San Francisco Bay Area and is subject to change.

This role requires on-site presence at our Brisbane, CA headquarters, for close collaboration with the other teams.
