Mytra is building robotics and distributed software to solve material handling and storage in supply chain automation—a $1T market. The company is focused on transforming the supply chain industry amid e-commerce growth, rising costs, and disruption.
You will own the electrical control systems for Mytra's next-generation robotic factory automation, from system architecture and component selection through panel design, prototype bring-up, system integration, and production. This is a hands-on role spanning electrical schematics, control panels, wiring, sensors, motor drives, embedded controls, PLCs, and floor-level debugging.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead electrical architecture and design of automated systems within the pallet structural system
- Design industrial electrical control panels, including power distribution, controls, I/O, safety systems, and machine interfaces
- Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
- Work with safety engineers to support industrial functional safety controls
- Select and specify PLCs, remote I/O, industrial PCs, motor/servo drives, power supplies, circuit protection, relays, contactors, sensors, and other electrical components
- Develop PLC and machine-control architectures, including I/O definitions and interfaces between electrical, controls, firmware, and mechanical systems
- Design AC/DC power distribution and 24VDC control systems with appropriate circuit protection and power management
- Design and integrate motors, servo systems, actuators, sensors, encoders, safety devices, and other machine-level electrical components
- Develop machine safety circuits including E-stops, safety relays/PLCs, interlocks, light curtains, and protective devices
- Develop and maintain standardized, modular electrical architectures reusable across multiple robotic systems
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers on electrical enclosure, panel, cable routing, connector, harness, and machine integration requirements
- Build and bring up prototype control panels and electrical systems; troubleshoot wiring and integration issues; support system commissioning
- Work with technicians, manufacturing, suppliers, and panel builders to transition designs into production
- Participate in design reviews, electrical risk assessments, system validation, and root-cause analysis
- Support factory acceptance testing, system commissioning, and deployment of robotic systems
- Establish electrical engineering processes, standards, design guidelines, and best practices
- Drive electrical designs from early prototypes through production, balancing performance, reliability, cost, manufacturability, and schedule
You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, safety, manufacturing, and test engineers to develop robust, scalable electrical systems that transition from prototype to production.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 5+ years of experience designing electrical systems for industrial automation, control panels, PLCs, and robotic systems
- Demonstrated ability to own electrical systems end-to-end from architecture through production
- Strong hands-on experience with industrial automation, control panels, PLCs, and robotic systems
- Experience shipping automated equipment or robotic systems and understanding the difference between prototype and production-ready systems
- Comfort working in fast-moving environments, making engineering tradeoffs, and collaborating across disciplines
- Proficiency with electrical CAD tools, component selection, control-panel design, and hands-on debugging
