Manufacturing Engineer

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

+5 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, or equivalent

Experience bringing a product from concept to mass-production

Experience laying out a factory from scratch

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.
