Mytra's robotics team is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to develop safety-critical software on our robotic fleet
You'll own how safety-relevant software gets built and scaled — taking the safety concept and architecture and realizing it through the development process to production
This role will cover projects such as localization, fail-safe communications, and motion-stopping, using estimation, monitoring, and safe software design best practices to build up safety functions
You will shape how we ship safety rigor across the stack as we scale
Own projects such as signal redundancy, sensor fusion, safety-critical state estimation, and fail-safe wireless communications
Implement highly performant, real-time software for critical safety functions on robots that mitigate both machine and human hazards
Cross-collaboration with computer vision / firmware / systems teams to realize safety goals and deliver safety-critical software in a scalable and agile setting
Select and integrate the safety-relevant toolchain, including safety-rated or qualified compilers, static analysis, and coding-standard tooling
Contribute to HARA and software DFMEA from the implementation side, informing the safety analysis with realistic failure modes and mitigations
Build robust diagnostic tools to detect, reproduce, and root-cause faults in the field
Mentor software developers and contribute to increased test coverage and coding best practices across the stack
Demonstrated safety-critical software development experience,



ideally under a recognized functional-safety standard (IEC *****, ISO *****, ISO ******, ISO *****, DO-178C, EN *****, IEC *****, or similar)
Strong experience with C++ and Python
Experience in taking in-house safety-critical software from concept to production
Experience with wireless communication technologies in an embedded context (Wi-Fi, UWB, BLE, or similar RF)
Experience participating in HARA and software DFMEA
Experience delivering safety-relevant software in a fast-moving, iterative environment
Experience with embedded and real-time systems (RTOS or bare-metal), working close to the hardware
BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent
Experience with coding standards and their toolchains — MISRA and static analysis (e.g. Polyspace, Coverity, LDRA, Klocwork)
Understanding of electromechanical systems and how hardware changes affect software and vice-versa
The seniority and credibility to push back constructively both against under-engineering and over-prescription
Experience qualifying a compiler or tool for a safety context, or standing up a safety-relevant CI / static-analysis pipeline
Background in a safety-critical domain such as automotive AV/ADAS, aerospace/avionics, rail signaling, or consumer robotics (robot vacuums, drones, AR/VR)
Positioning or state-estimation background — e.g. fiducial/marker tracking (QR, datamatrix, AprilTag, ArUco), dead-reckoning / encoder odometry, and multi-source cross-checking
