Staff Robotics Software Engineer

Join Mytra's robotics team as a Staff Robotics Software Engineer. In this role, you will develop software critical for motion control, task execution, and safety management of our robotic fleet. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary hardware and software teams, own firmware development throughout the product lifecycle, and contribute significantly to real-time embedded systems. You should have strong experience with Python, C/C++/Rust, and an understanding of electromechanical systems and robotics control.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop and deliver high-quality software for motion control, task execution, and safety management of robotic systems.
• Lead and manage the integration of initial prototype systems, including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha and beta phase prototype robots.
• Contribute to the complete life cycle of software features, including feature definition, implementation, test plan, and roll-out strategy, while assessing and contributing to long-term architectural decisions.
• Strong experience with Python, particularly focused on application and process level development
• Experience with C/C++/Rust and system level environments
• Understanding of how hardware changes affect robotics software and vice-versa
• Understanding of electromechanical systems, kinematics, and robotics control
• BS in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• Experience coding in concurrent and multithreaded environments
• Understanding of Git and software version management
• Experience with network communication technologies, including CAN, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, and pub/sub frameworks like NATS
• 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
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems into actionable incremental progress in a continuous integration development environment
• Strong knowledge of software design and maintainability patterns
• F 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
• Experience with Linux operating systems and kernel fundamentals
