Team Lead, Bot Production

Mytra • Brisbane, CA

25d • $40 - $48 • Onsite

About The Position

As the Bot Production Lead on Mytra's new Bot Production team, you will keep the production line moving and builds flowing. This is a hands-on working-lead role: you will build bots alongside the team while setting the pace, maintaining quality, and keeping production on schedule against customer commitments. You will first develop deep product knowledge by training alongside Bot Prototype and Manufacturing technicians, then bring that expertise to the production floor as the team is established and scales.

The role is suited to someone who values accurate, repeatable, high-quality builds and a clean, well-run line. You will work closely with the manager to plan the day, run the floor, resolve issues where possible, and escalate important issues so they are addressed. The role requires on-site presence at Mytra's Brisbane, California headquarters.

Bot Production is a new team, and this role will help shape how the line runs, how the team works, and how production scales. The position offers opportunities to develop product expertise and potentially grow toward manufacturing engineering, production management, sustainment, or leadership of a larger production organization. Formal performance reviews are held twice a year.

Requirements

• Hands-on production or manufacturing build experience, ideally with electromechanical hardware, robotics, or comparable technical assembly.
• Commitment to repeatability and process discipline, including building to SOPs, maintaining quality, and meeting schedules in a delivery-driven environment.
• Ability to thrive in a new environment and help establish a foundation for a newly formed team.
• Technical ability to triage build issues, resolve what can be handled on the floor, and recognize when to escalate.
• Ability to read and build to drawings, work instructions, and BOMs, and reason about revision changes across builds.
• Solid assembly fundamentals, including use of hand tools, fastening, cable and harness routing, and attention to build quality.
• Natural team leadership, clear communication, and the ability to keep people moving and support colleagues.
• Comfort working in an industrial environment around heavy equipment and following shop safety practices.

Nice To Haves

• Experience running or leading an assembly or production line as it scaled.
• Familiarity with 3D models or CAD; Onshape is a plus.
• Exposure to PLM/ERP systems such as Arena or NetSuite and ticketing or collaboration tools such as Linear, Notion, Slack, or JIRA.
• Experience with wire soldering, connector crimping, or schematic reading.
• Forklift and/or personnel lift certification.
• Familiarity with MES and work-instruction systems.

Responsibilities

• Run the production line day to day, keeping builds on track with the approved plan, assigning and sequencing work, and stepping in on the floor to maintain momentum.
• Build alongside technicians and set the standard for quality and craftsmanship at every station.
• Ensure the team builds to released specifications and SOPs, using the current validated revision.
• Own first-line quality on the floor, catch issues early, and ensure fallout or nonconforming units are pulled and routed to the Bot Prototype team for rework.
• Serve as the first point of contact for technicians, resolve everyday issues, and escalate issues to the manager when appropriate.
• Partner with the manager and NPI to translate the build plan into a smooth daily cadence, taking on more planning over time.
• Write and close tickets in Linear, document floor issues, and collaborate with Engineering, Planning, and Quality while keeping the manager informed of issues affecting quality, schedule, or design.
• Champion floor safety through proper PPE, shop practices, and a clean, organized workspace.
• Help onboard and train Bot Production Technicians and help establish the team's culture.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity grants.
• 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 headquarters.
• Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break.
• Voluntary pet insurance, voluntary life insurance, accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity coverage.
• Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help employees understand their equity.
• Commuter benefits, including up to $150 monthly.
