Senior Robotics Simulation 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.

About the role :

We seek a Senior / Staff Simulation Engineer to build and own the simulation platform for the entire robotics software stack. This simulation system must accurately model our structured-grid robots, distributed control, and coordinated multi-axis motion while remaining easy to use.

You will design core frameworks, tools, and models to enable rapid testing of firmware, controls, planning, and full robot behaviors. You will establish the architecture, integrate simulation with developer workflows and CI systems, and accelerate prototyping and validation. This is a high-impact senior technical role.

This role is fundamentally about building a scalable simulation platform and developer-facing tools. You’ll focus on creating reliable abstractions, workflows, and frameworks that help engineers ship faster across the entire robotics stack.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement the core simulation platform, including robot mobility, multi-axis motion, and subsystem behaviors.
• Integrate our robotics software with simulation environments, spanning build systems, libraries, and large-scale codebases.
• Develop lightweight, functional models for distributed microcontrollers, communication interfaces, and timing, with a focus on enabling practical system-level testing.
• Build and deliver simulation tools as reliable products for developers and CI / CD, supporting uses from rapid prototyping workflows to headless regression testing.
• Create reusable infrastructure for subsystem and full-robot testing, including hybrid configurations that combine HIL and SIL components.
• Collaborate closely with robotics, firmware, controls, and planning teams to ensure simulation reflects real-world system behavior.
• Define best practices, extensibility patterns, and integration workflows that make the simulation environment easy to adopt and evolve.
• Evaluate simulation technologies and steer long-term technical direction.
