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.
Role Overview
Mytra is excited to grow our manufacturing footprint from our little warehouse, prototype stall build into a proper, industrialized manufacturing operation — and we need an experienced and energetic manufacturing engineering team to do it! Our team is focused on fast iteration and learning, so you'll not only have the opportunity to have your designs built quickly, test them, and improve our product and teams, but also be a part of bringing a concept to full-scale mass production.
As our first dedicated Manufacturing Engineer, you'll develop the process, equipment and factory that produces our bots and structures at scale. You'll collaborate closely with our hardware engineering and system integrations teams to prototype, productionize and deploy manufacturing solutions that help our business grow and meet the exceptional customer demand we have.
Example Projects
You will be responsible for designing and deploying the machine that builds the machine
Evaluate the hardware design, and develop manufacturing build process and plans for robots
Plan and design manufacturing layouts and facilities for assembly and fabrication of robotic systems and structures
Evaluate, develop, and improve our business processes & workflows.
Propose, develop, and lead implementation on new and continuous process improvement initiatives
Design and oversee the procurement and installation of new equipment
Troubleshoot and resolve production issues and delays to achieve our scaled ramp
Recommend and develop changes to product designs to enhance the efficiency of product assembly and manufacturing
Working with suppliers to advise and develop various manufacturing technologies, including stamping, welding, assembly and plastics manufacturing processes
The Ideal Candidate
+7 years practical experience in manufacturing: you're very comfortable with design for manufacturing, including mechanical, electrical and robotics integration
You have experience with designing and deploying assembly lines or other manufacturing equipment and systems
You are able to conduct industrial engineering analysis to ensure we can achieve our scaling goals
You are excited about working on an immature project, growing together, and shaping the future of the company.
CAD software: Solidworks or CATIA for equipment design, AutoCAD or similar for layout planning
Uncertainty isn't scary, and you're willing to realize mistakes and pivot.
You can convey complex ideas and technical concepts to a diverse audience, including technicians and associates building the product
Openness, inquisitiveness, and constant ambition are important values.
Strong project management and capability to execute on time
Also Helps If You Have
Experience with various manufacturing technology, including roll forming, stamping, plastics manufacturing processes
Undergraduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent
Experience bringing a product from concept to mass-production
Experience laying out a factory from scratch
The Pay Range For This Role Is
110,000 - 180,000 USD per year(Mytra)
