PDM & CAD Specialist

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, focusing first on the supply chain industry, which is under pressure from e-commerce growth, rising costs, and disruptions.

About the role

As our PDM & CAD Specialist, you will own and maintain Mytra's product data management infrastructure and CAD environment across the full hardware development lifecycle. You’ll be the central authority on Onshape administration, engineering change processes, BOM integrity, and CAD best practices—enabling our mechanical and manufacturing teams to move fast without sacrificing accuracy, traceability, or data quality.
