Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Mytra Robotics Full time

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 changing warehouse automation and needs someone who has experience with standard industrial controls and embedded systems. This person will use both of those skillsets to break industrial automation free from its outdated tooling and propel it into the modern world.

As a Sr / Staff Automation Controls Engineer you will be responsible for the hardware interfacing between customers and Mytra robots. You will design and maintain safety and mission critical hardware that is highly robust, debuggable, and fast. You will be responsible for determining the optimal blend of off the shelf and custom hardware solutions to complex electro-mechanical problems.

Example Projects
  • Collaborating with firmware and PCBA design engineers to determine the ideal balance between off the shelf and custom in house embedded hardware
  • Designing high voltage, low voltage, and I/O electrical cabinets for an automated pallet storage system
  • Selecting and integrating a turntable that can rotate a 3,000 pound pallet 360 degrees
  • Develop hardware that enables embedded systems to have PLC-esque expandable I/O
Preferred Qualifications
  • A burning desire to design, build, and integrate better automation and automation tooling
  • Experience selecting and integrating off the shelf automation equipment as well as developing in house embedded hardware
  • Proficiency with Beckhoff or Siemens controllers (including TwinSAFE and Siemens Safety). Has implemented machine automation projects in a production environment
  • Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers and could replace off the shelf systems where necessary.
  • Electrical panel design using ePLAN or AutoCAD
  • Experience debugging and fixing complex electro-mechanical systems with a strong hands-on approach to expertly building and reworking electro-mechanical systems.
  • Available for infrequent domestic travel(between 0% - 10% annually)to support integration and test activities at customer sites.
  • Embraces uncertainty and is willing to realize mistakes and pivot.
  • Can effectively convey complex ideas and technical concepts to a diverse audience.
  • Experience writing and debugging C++ and/or Python are a plus
A Final Note

You're encouraged to apply even if you don't meet every requirement. 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.
