Project Designer

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 The Project Designer is a key member of the Project Engineering team responsible for translating customer operational needs into detailed, practical system designs for automated pallet storage solutions. This role bridges the gap between customer requirements, sales concepts, and engineering implementation by creating layout drawings, design documentation, and coordination packages that guide downstream deployment of full scale systems. The Designer works cross-functionally with Project Engineering Managers, Solutions, Engineering (Mech Elec SW & FW), manufacturing, Deployment, & Sustainment teams to ensure the proposed system is feasible, aligned with standards, and tailored to the customer’s facility constraints. This position plays a critical part in maintaining design quality, enabling efficient project execution, and external coordination for permitting , customer consultants and ensuring the solution ultimately delivered meets the customer’s business goals. What you’ll do: Design Development Produce 2D/3D layouts for automated storage systems Translate customer building drawings (architectural, structural, MEP) into design-ready base models. Validate system fit, clearances, travel paths, maintenance access, and code compliance requirements. Create design details and documentation packages used for internal review and customer approval. Project Coordination Collaborate with x-functional teams to refine system concepts into constructible designs. Support interface planning and coordination with controls, electrical, mechanical, and safety engineering teams both on the customer team and internally to Mytra. Update designs throughout the project lifecycle as customer facility conditions or requirements evolve. Participate in design review meetings, capture feedback, and implement revisions. Customer Interaction Attend scoping calls or on-site visits to understand operational requirements and constraints. Communicate design intent clearly through visuals, drawings, and written documentation. Provide technical insights and support during customer presentations or milestone reviews. Documentation & Standards Maintain drawing accuracy, revision control, and conformance to company design standards. Contribute to the maintenance and refinement of design libraries, templates, and best practices. Assist with material takeoffs feeding into procurement, equipment specifications, and critical design requirement where applicable. Ideal Candidates Proficiency in CAD tools (Revit, Rhino+Grasshopper) or equivalent; onshape is a plus). Understanding of material handling systems, warehouse operations, or industrial automation. Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical plans. Spatial reasoning and layout optimization skills. Working knowledge and experience with of Fire Life Safety, Fire Protection codes and requirements. 3+ years in design or drafting within automation, manufacturing, warehouse equipment, construction, or related fields. Experience with project-based work, engineering documentation, or system integration. Familiarity with building codes, safety standards, or industrial equipment design is required Nice to have: Strong attention to detail with the ability to spot conflicts or design risks early. Excellent communication skills for coordinating across engineering, sales, and customer teams. Positive and proactive mindset with a willingness to follow through on challengin
