Systems Engineering Lead, Robot Platform, Brisbane

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 $1 T market. We’re focused on the supply‑chain industry first. The industry is in amassive 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 is seeking a Systems Engineering Lead to serve as the technical architect and integrator for our robotic platform. This is a lead role responsible for the system‑level technical roadmap, cross‑disciplinary alignment, and long‑term reliability of the product.

You will operate at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, controls, perception, software, and infrastructure– ensuring that Mytra’s platform evolves as a coherent system, not a collection of subsystems. Additionally, you will make high‑impact decisions that balance performance, cost, safety, reliability, and speed – ensuring the robotic platform scales without accumulating hidden system risk.

Responsibilities

Own the end‑to‑end system architecture of Mytra’s robotic platform across mechanical, electrical, embedded, controls, and software domains

Define and evolve the technical roadmap to ensure the platform scales in capability, reliability, and manufacturability

Establish clear system boundaries, interfaces, and responsibility splits between engineering teams

Mediate high‑stakes technical decisions to keep the engineering teams aligned and moving at startup speed

Distill complex field data, edge‑case failures, and prototype learnings into a clear system‑level technical narrative

Qualifications

BS, MS, or equivalent practical in engineering with 7+ years of experience in designing and building complex mechatronics systems

A passion for solving challenging technical problems– strong engineering intuition and persistence to identify the root cause of a problem, solving problems using first principles

Familiar with all phases of product development lifecycle including gathering requirements, design, implementation, debug, verification, qualification, and transfer to manufacturing

Familiar with Product Lifecycle Management and documentation control systems

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.
