About The Position
As a Senior System Validation Engineer at Mytra, you will join our Software Validation & Release Team during a period of fast-paced growth as we develop & scale Mytra's next generation system. On this team, you will work closely with engineers across the organization to drive system reliability, while also building scalable practices, tools and infrastructure to enable teams to ship complex, hardware-dependent code quickly without compromising reliability.
Requirements
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience
- Proficient software engineer, with a track record of deploying robust validation pipelines for hardware systems.
- Familiarity with systems engineering validation processes, including validation planning, burn down tracking, and ownership of end-to-end system reliability.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- Expert proficiency with Python and Linux-based environments.
- Familiarity with system-level languages (C/C++/Rust) to debug at the firmware level.
- Experience developing firmware validation tests for both HIL and SIL testing.
- Experience with communication standards (CAN, I2C, SPI) and electromechanical systems.
- Proficiency in agent-driven coding practices (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to increase engineering velocity and validate agent-generated code.
- Professional mastery of Git and software version management.
Nice To Haves
- Experience building and maintaining fleet-wide release qualification for robotic, automotive or industrial automation systems.
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD principles and workflows for SIL/HIL and experience building these systems from scratch.
- Familiarity with observability for distributed systems, including metrics, logs, traces, data lakes, and alerting.
- Experience with embedded debugging workflows, including JTAG, SWD, core dumps, and trace tools.
- Experience with containerized CI systems and build orchestration, including Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm Charts.
- Hands-on experience with lab automation and hardware test infrastructure, including relay control, power cycling, and instrumentation.
- Exposure to functional safety or reliability practices, including DFMEA and incident postmortems.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with multiple engineering teams to proactively identify gaps in system architecture, validation pipelines and test infrastructure.
- Own the full life-cycle from gap identification to deploying automated validation processes that improve reliability across the Mytra system.
- Build and scale automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL) and simulation test infrastructure to ensure robust regression detection.
- Perform deep-dive root cause analysis and fix hardware, software, and firmware issues identified throughout the release process.
- Own system validation burn down - tracking issues in the release pipeline, driving them to closure, and enforcing accountability across software, firmware, and hardware domains.
- Manage teams of agents to deploy and maintain internal validation and release web products that enable cooperation, velocity and reliability across the Mytra organization.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
- Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents
- 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
- Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
- Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
- Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
- Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
- Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
- Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
- Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
