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.
Role Overview
Mytra's Project Integration Team is looking for a Fire Protection Engineer to help design Mytra's fire suppression systems from the ground up! We are looking for someone passionate, creative, and innovative to develop and validate fire protection and life safety documents for construction.
The Project Integration team's main goal is to bridge the gap between high-level design and full project deployment. The team is responsible for partnering with the client to develop detailed system processes, designing construction-ready deployments, and preparing documentation to submit for permitting.
As an FPE at Mytra, you will serve as the subject matter expert on all fire-related topics, including fire protection, smoke detection, life safety, hazardous materials, risk assessment, and various other fire and life safety concerns. As a member of the Project Integration team, you will be working directly with our clients to understand their fire protection needs and designing their unique end-to-end fire protection process and procedures. You will be working with local jurisdictions on developing fire suppression drawings, Alternative Materials and Methods Requests (AMMRs), and other fire protection processes such as fire detection and monitoring, life-safety code analysis, and egress analysis. In addition, you will be working cross functionally with our Deployment, Safety, and Engineering teams to design and maintain fire safety procedures for future deployments.
Example Projects
San Francisco Bay area preferred but open to remote candidates.
Travel will be required to support customer deployments.
Benefits Include
You're encouraged to apply even if you can't take on every example project in its totality. We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.
