Job summary

Mytra is seeking a Robotics Software Engineer to develop the software that drives our warehouse robots. You will work across behaviors, motion control, and state estimation, bridging software to hardware and systems, taking new features from prototype to customer fleets.

You’ll join the Bot Software team on-site, collaborating with senior engineers and touching mechanical, electrical, and software components to deliver robust and scalable robot solutions.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of professional experience developing software for robots or electromechanical systems.
• Strong C++ and Python on Linux, STM32, or similar, running on real hardware.
• Experience with behavior trees, state machines, or similar.
• Knowledge of controls, kinematics, and state estimation (e.g., Kalman filters).
• Experience with ROS 2 or another pub/sub framework.
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware and vendor software over CAN, UART, SPI, or similar.
• Experience testing in both simulation and on hardware.
• Methodical, evidence-driven debugging approach and clear cross-disciplinary communication.

Responsibilities

• Develop and test robot behaviors and functions, including task sequencing and recovery from stops and interruptions.
• Make software robust to real hardware failures like stale data, bus errors, and sensors that misreport.
• Implement and tune motion control features like drive control, axis moves, and trajectory following.
• Bring up sensors and actuators, and debug them over CAN/CANopen and our messaging layer (NATS, ROS 2).
• Define and maintain robust interfaces across a mix of off-the-shelf and in-house components, from motor drives and PLCs to internal services.
• Write hardware abstractions and configuration that let features run across robot variants.
• Build simulation scenarios and automated tests, and keep them running in CI.
• Debug issues on real robots with logs, telemetry, and bench tools.
• Own well-scoped parts of the stack in C++ and Python, and contribute to design and code reviews.
