Senior Electrical Industrial 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.

Mytra is looking for a Senior Electrical Controls Engineer to design and develop the electrical control systems for our next generation of robotic factory automation. This role will own electrical designs from system architecture and component selection through panel design, prototype bring-up, system integration, and production.

You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, safety, manufacturing, and test engineers to develop robust, scalable electrical systems that can move from prototype into production. This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys working across the full system—from electrical schematics and control panels to wiring, sensors, motor drives, embedded controls, PLCs, and debugging the machine on the floor.

We're looking for someone who can own the electrical system rather than just a portion of the design. You should be comfortable moving between architecture discussions, electrical CAD, component selection, control‑panel design, and hands‑on debugging.

The ideal candidate has shipped automated equipment or robotic systems and understands the difference between getting a prototype working and developing a production‑ready system. You should be comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment, making engineering tradeoffs, and collaborating closely with engineers and technicians across the organization.

We are looking for an electrical engineer who can own the system from architecture through production and has strong hands‑on experience with industrial automation, control panels, PLCs, and robotic systems.

• Lead the electrical architecture and design of automated systems within the pallet structural system
• Design industrial electrical control panels, including power distribution, controls, I/O, safety systems, and machine interfaces
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
• Work closely with safety engineers to support industrial functional safety controls
• Select and specify PLCs, remote I/O, industrial PCs, motor/servo drives, power supplies, circuit protection, relays, contractors, sensors, and other electrical components
• Develop PLC and machine‑control architectures, including I/O definitions and interfaces between electrical, controls, firmware, and mechanical systems
• Design AC/DC power distribution and 24
  
  VDC control systems, including appropriate circuit protection and power management
• Design and integrate motors, servo systems, actuators, sensors, encoders, safety devices, and other machine‑level electrical components
• Develop machine safety circuits including E‑stops, safety relays/PLCs, interlocks, light curtains, and other protective devices
• Develop and maintain standardized, modular electrical architectures that can be reused across multiple robotic systems
• Work with mechanical engineers on electrical enclosure, panel, cable routing, connector, harness, and machine integration requirements
• Build and bring up prototype control panels and electrical systems, troubleshoot wiring and integration issues, and support system commissioning
• Work directly with technicians,…
