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

As a Senior Quality Engineer at Mytra, you will join our Quality Engineering Team during a period of Growth. Our team is currently focused on establishing Quality System, and we need a proactive specialist to help us put in robust Quality System to prevent repeat issues.

What you’ll do:

• Incoming Quality Control:
• • Establish incoming part inspection protocols for key electrical and electromechanical components using various inspection devices such as calipers, micrometers, multimeters, and CMM tools, including selecting a tester.
  • Build supplier quality processes from scratch: support supplier qualification, track performance, and lead supplier corrective actions (SCARs).
  • Collaborate with engineering on early-stage design reviews with a focus on Design for Manufacturability/ Assembly (DFM/A) and quality risk mitigation, and ensure our drawings are released to support quality control.
  • Review Part approval documentation including First Article Inspection (FAI) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).
• In Process Quality Control:
• • Lead or support root cause and corrective actions (RCCA) for internal defects, incoming quality issues, and field issues.
  • Define quality requirements for critical components, subassemblies, and final robotic systems.
  • Support build and assembly teams with quality checks during prototype and production runs.
  • Help develop and maintain quality documentation such as inspection work instructions, checklists, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
  • Contribute to internal quality metrics and help drive continuous improvement across teams.
• Outgoing Quality Control:
• • Set up and maintain the process control plans that will ensure all outgoing products are meeting the desired Quality, Reliability and Durability (QRD) requirements.
  • Accelerate Built In Quality (BIQ) to move conformance gates further up the value stream and eliminate or prevent potential for introducing defects.

Ideal Candidates

• Have proven experience with a startup, robotics team, high volume manufacturing, hardware or electromechanical environment
• Have BS in Electrical Engineering
• Familiarity with quality tools like FMEA, 5-Whys, Fishbone/Ishikawa, and 8D problem solving
• Comfort in a dynamic, fast-changing startup environment where systems are still being built
• Demonstrate Mytra’s core values

Nice to have:

• Experience in early-stage NPI product development cycles and prototype manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of ERP/MRP/PLM systems.
• Certifications like CQE, Six Sigma, or experience with ISO 9001 are a plus but not required.
• Familiarity with GD&T, IPC standards, or robotics system integration is a bonus.

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

Benefits Include:

• 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
• 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
• Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
• Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
• 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
• Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
• Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
