About the Role:

As a Senior Manager of Systems Test Engineering at Mytra, you will be responsible for leading a team of systems test engineers in developing and executing systems validation and verification. This is a key technical leadership role responsible for driving innovation in validation methodologies for the Mytra robotic system, and mentoring a highly skilled test engineering team. You will work in collaboration with Product Design Engineering, Supplier Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software and Controls Engineering to ensure that Mytra's products can withstand the demands of real-world warehouse environments.

• Ability to communicate effectively and professionally across a range of technical disciplines with a broad range of stakeholders, including management, peers, customers, and suppliers
• Excellent verbal, presentation, and written communication skills with the ability to relate to different people in cross-functional teams
• Familiarity with Python or C++ for analyzing datasets related to specification definition, risk assessment, and reliability analysis, as well as for writing scripts to execute commands on electro-mechanical systems
