Senior Electrical Engineer

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: We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment and can contribute across the full product lifecycle of our autonomous platform. This role is ideal for a hands-on generalist who can move fluidly between design, testing, systems integration, and collaboration with cross-functional teams including mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and product management. You'll own a critical piece of technology within our autonomous platforms. Our system covers all domains of electrical engineering, from power and motor actuation, wireless technology, sensing, compute, and safety systems. You'll lead development efforts with significant business impact, build key supplier and technology partnerships, and evaluate emerging technologies to drive capability differentiation. You will operate within the broader cross-functional team to help define requirements and integrate solutions.
