Senior Robotics Controls Engineer

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.

About the role :

Mytra's robotics team is developing next-generation warehouse automation using physics-based, first-principles design. We are seeking a Robotics Controls Engineer to architect and implement advanced motion control systems that integrate sensing, perception, and actuation into reliable, high-performance robotic platforms. This role spans real-time embedded software, communication architecture, and control algorithm design to deliver precise, safe, and efficient robot motion in complex environments. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines to push the boundaries of warehouse robotics.

Responsibilities :

• Architect and implement motion control frameworks for multi-axis robotic systems, including actuator control, trajectory generation, and dynamic path execution
• Design and integrate communication architectures for distributed controllers, sensors, and actuators, including pub / sub messaging frameworks (e.g., NATS, ROS2, custom protocols)
• Develop, simulate, and tune control algorithms for position, velocity, torque, and force control, incorporating model-based techniques and Kalman filter-based state estimation
• Lead sensor fusion and localization efforts to ensure robust, real-time state estimation in both simulated and physical environments
• Define motor and sensor strategies, including hardware selection, calibration, and diagnostics, to meet performance, safety, and scalability requirements
• Build and maintain simulation and automated test tools to prototype new control strategies, validate them in CI / CD, and translate them into production-ready implementations
• Iterate between simulation and hardware testing to diagnose corner cases, improve algorithms, and ensure robustness in diverse real-world conditions
• Deliver high-quality, maintainable code in C++ and Python for real-time and high-level control systems

Qualifications :

A Final Note :

You're encouraged to apply even if you can't take on every example project in its totality. We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.
