Electrical PCB Technician

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 are seeking an Electrical PCBA Technician to own PCBA rework and board level repair while also supporting prototype builds and lab testing. This role is hands on and quality driven.  You will be supporting assemblies to enable fast hardware iteration during development, validation, and early production.

You will partner closely with the Electrical Engineering team, supporting PCBA rework and potential PCBA recovery after failure assessment. You’ll also help improve documentation of rework processes and troubleshooting guides as needed.

What you'll do:

• Perform precision soldering, desoldering, and rework on complex PCBAs.
• Use rework tools to remove and solder parts on PCBAs, including:
• • Fine-pitch SMD components (down to 0402)
  • High pin-count connectors
  • QFN/LGA packages
  • Rework of components on PCBs with thick copper (>2 oz) and >6 layers
  • Wire jumpers
• Diagnose and repair damaged PCBAs to determine if a board is recoverable, including inspection of parts, pads, traces, and connectors
• Support assembly/subassembly testing in the lab; assist with troubleshooting and failure analysis by providing high-quality rework and documentation
• Assemble, modify, and test prototype electronic/mechanical assemblies and fixtures with high precision
• Design and prototype simple fixtures/tooling to assist with assembly and rework processes; coordinate closely with hardware engineers
• Document rework actions for common failure modes
• Maintain rework/soldering tools, microscopes, rework stations, ESD controls, and consumables
• Use soldering tools (solder/desolder), board heaters, digital multimeters, power supplies, and other basic lab equipment

Ideal Candidates:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in electronics soldering and PCBA rework (role leveling may vary with experience)
• Strong proficiency with soldering using microscopes and hot-air/reflow tools
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, board layouts, assembly drawings, and rework instructions
• High attention to detail and strong quality standards
• Independent work style, flexibility, and resourcefulness in a fast-moving environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have:

• IPC certification (or equivalent professional training)
• Experience supporting R&D, robotics, high-reliability electronics programs, or early production environments

A Final Note:

If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box. At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans. We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we’re lifelong learners committed to getting better every day. We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure. The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last.

Benefits Include:

• 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

Pay Notice:

Compensation for this position will be set based on the candidate's experience level and location. The posted salary band is applicable only to the San Francisco Bay Area and is subject to change.

This role requires on-site presence at our Brisbane, CA headquarters, for close collaboration with the other teams.
