Bot Production Team Lead

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.

As the Bot Production Lead on Mytra's new Bot Production team
, you'll be the person who keeps the line moving and the builds flowing. This is a hands-on, working-lead role: you'll build bots alongside your team every day while setting the pace, holding the quality bar, and keeping production on schedule against real customer commitments. You'll start by ramping deep on the product itself, training shoulder-to-shoulder with our Bot Prototype and Manufacturing technicians so you know these bots inside and out, and then carry that expertise onto the production floor as the team stands up and scales.

This is a role for someone who loves building things right, repeatably, and  take pride in a clean, well-run line, you know how to keep a team moving, and you're the first person a technician turns to when something looks off. You'll work closely with the manager to plan the day, run the floor, solve what you can on the spot, and raise the things that matter so they get handled and don't come back.

• Run the production line day to day, keeping builds on track to the approved plan, assigning and sequencing work across the team, and stepping in on the floor to keep momentum.
• Build alongside your technicians, setting the standard for quality and craftsmanship at every station.
• Hold the line to released specs and SOPs, making sure the team is always building to the current, validated revision so only good product moves forward.
• Own first-line quality on the floor, catching issues early, and making sure any fallout or nonconforming units are pulled and routed to the Bot Prototype team for rework so the line stays clean and flowing.
• Be the first point of contact for your technicians, resolving the everyday issues that keep a line healthy and knowing which ones to raise to the manager.
• Partner with the manager and NPI to turn the build plan into a smooth daily cadence, and grow into more of that planning over time.
• Write and close tickets (Linear), document floor issues clearly, and collaborate with Engineering, Planning, and Quality as builds require, keeping the manager looped in on anything affecting quality, schedule, or design.
• Champion safety on the floor, leading by example on PPE, shop practices, and a clean, organized workspace.
• Help onboard and train Bot Production Technicians as the team grows, and help build the culture of the team from day one.

• Have hands-on production or manufacturing build experience
  , ideally with electro-mechanical hardware, robotics, or comparable technical assembly.
• Take pride in repeatability and process discipline
  : building to SOPs, holding a quality bar, and hitting schedule in a delivery-driven environment.
• Thrives in a new environment, and wants to set the solid foundation for a new formed team
  , being a trailblazer
• Are technically strong enough to triage build issues on the floor
  , figure out what can be solved on the spot, and know when to raise something up.
• Can read and build to drawings, work instructions, and BOMs
  , and reason about revision changes across builds.
• Have solid assembly fundamentals
  : hand tools, fastening, cable and harness routing, and an eye for build quality.
• Are natural team leaders who keep people moving,…
