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.
While we're able to support remote employees for this role, we expect regular travel amounting to approximately 30% being required. This includes 2 weeks per quarter plus 3-5 days during other months.
What you’ll do:
Onshape Administration
- Manage user access, permissions, and general Onshape platform administration
- Own and maintain process documents and OTS workflows
- Administer part numbering systems and processes
- Prepare and execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and release administration
- Maintain material and items library
- Develop and deliver CAD/PDM process training across the engineering org
CAD Maintenance & Cleanup
- Maintain master models with variations representing sub-component releases
- Keep master models current with engineering updates, including POR designs and ECR/ECO candidate variants
- Manage COTS parts library and actively prevent duplication
- Own CAD/PDM best practices across the organization
- Update and enforce drawing standards
Manufacturing Engineering Interface
- Structure and populate MBOMs in Onshape in close collaboration with manufacturing engineering
ECO Administration
- Pre-release COTS parts to prevent ECO blockages
- Assign part properties; manage ECO prep and review
- Conduct clash checks, fastener presence validation, and related quality checks
- Perform BOM checking, drawing checking, and revision control
Electrical Integration
- Import and link electrical board designs to Arena releases
- Provide Altium administrative support
Drafting
- Prepare engineering drawings and perform tolerance analysis
- Conduct drawing quality checks, including AI-assisted review scripts
Ideal Candidates:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related technical field — or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2+ years of experience as a PDM/CAD Administrator or in a similar role within a hardware engineering environment
- Proficiency in Onshape; experience with Arena PLM is a strong plus
- Experience with Solidworks & Catia is an asset
- Demonstrated experience with ECO/ECR processes and revision control workflows
- Strong understanding of BOM structures, including EBOM and MBOM management
- Solid grasp of engineering drawing standards, GD&T, and tolerance analysis
- Exceptional attention to detail and a systematic approach to data quality and process ownership
- Clear communicator who can train and guide engineers on PDM/CAD workflows
Nice to have:
- Experience with Altium or similar electrical design management platforms
- Familiarity with AI-assisted CAD or drawing review workflows
- Background working in a fast-paced robotics, automation, or mechatronics company
- Experience developing and delivering internal CAD/PDM training programs

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
