Deployment 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.

As a Deployment Engineer at Mytra, you will join our Customer Operations team during a period of high growth. Mytra is moving from prototype builds to repeatable customer deployments, and we need a hands-on field operator who can execute commissioning work with discipline, document objective evidence, and escalate issues before they become customer-impacting misses.

The Deployment Engineer owns defined commissioning work packages such as infrastructure preflight, safety bring-up support, robot integration checks, and construction QC. Working collaboratively with the Senior Deployment Engineer, who provides day-to-day field direction, you will execute against the commissioning gates and quality standards defined by the Deployment Lead and enforced by the site team.

Customer interaction is regular and on-site. You’ll be at the customer facility and expected to represent Mytra professionally, answer questions as needed, and communicate clearly in the moment. Day-to-day, your primary working interfaces are trade contractors and the site team; what matters most is execution discipline, artifact quality, and fast, clear escalation when something is off.

This role is designed to grow into ownership of a full commissioning subsystem — such as infrastructure readiness, safety bring-up, robot integration, or ops station readiness — based on demonstrated execution discipline, artifact quality, and field judgment.

What you’ll do:

• Execute commissioning readiness work packages, including network/compute preflight, ops station bring-up, robot integration checks, and safety prerequisite validation
• Produce construction QC evidence before commissioning starts, including photos, measurements, inspection checklists, and documented as-built deltas
• Deliver high-quality deployment artifacts for closeout and sustainment handoff, including commissioning readiness records, SAT evidence, installed-base manifests, and open-issue trackers
• Escalate issues with clear context: root cause hypothesis, objective evidence, affected work streams, and recommended next actions. See solutions through resolution.

Ideal Candidates

• 3+ years of industry experience.
• Onsite deployment or commissioning experience in industrial, automation, robotics, or similar environments
• Hands-on electro-mechanical hardware experience: wiring, connectors, electrical troubleshooting, working around powered equipment
• Executes with discipline from defined work packages: follows checklists precisely, documents evidence completely, and holds quality standards under schedule pressure
• Demonstrated safety discipline in live build environments; can identify and respect hazards in partially energized systems
• Clear cross-functional communication: flags blockers concisely, escalates with context, and closes the loop across contractors and the site team

Nice to have:

• Network/IT infrastructure basics: DHCP, Wi-Fi, compute bring-up
• Safety systems familiarity: machine guarding, E-stop circuits
• Industrial controls and electrical panel assembly
• Ability to read electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and construction blueprints; comfort with metric/imperial tolerances
• Familiarity with forklift certification and comfort around heavy equipment
• Spanish/English bilingual communication skills

A Final Note:

If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box. At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans. We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we’re lifelong learners committed to getting better every day. We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure. The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last
