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.

Senior Firmware Engineer

Mytra’s robotics team is looking for an experienced Senior Firmware Engineer to develop firmware critical for sensing, motion control, 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

• Develop Lead and mentor development of real-time software for critical sensing, control, and safety management of the robot
• Develop automated tests to ensure high-quality software releases and accurate functionality
• Work closely with the mechanical design and control teams to specify hardware actuation and sensing requirements
• Work closely with the electrical and mechanical design teams on board design, compute selection, and the development of platform-level libraries that enable modularity and scalability
• Deliver high-quality code in a real-time embedded environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems into actionable incremental progress in a continuous integration development environment 
• Strong experience developing firmware in C/C++/Rust for real-time embedded systems
• Experience with hardware interfaces such as I2C, SPI, CAN/CAN-FD, UART/RS232
• Experience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or real-time Linux)
• Experience with network communication technologies, including Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, and pub/sub frameworks like NATS
• Familiarity with safety-critical system design standards (e.g., ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262)
• Experience interfacing with motors, encoders, sensors, and/or computer vision systems
• Experience root-causing problems with limited telemetry and building in robust fault diagnostics
• Familiarity with kernel-level programming and driver development
• Experience with automated testing infrastructure and continuous integration practices
