Get Access To All JobsAbout 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:
You're not just joining the Bot Production Team, you're helping launch it. As a Bot Production Associate on Mytra's new Bot Production Team, you're the person who builds our bots, the same way, to the same standard, every single time. This is a hands-on assembly role on a growing production line, where quality and repeatability matter as much as pace. You'll build to released work instructions, hit daily build and quality targets, and take real pride in a clean, well-run station and a product built right the first time.
You'll ramp deep on the product, learning these bots station by station alongside experienced technicians, and then carry that craftsmanship onto the line as we scale. As one of the founding members of the Bot Production Team, you won't be stepping into someone else's process, you'll be the one building it. The way you build, the standards you hold, and the habits you set will become the playbook every associate who follows you is trained on. This is a role for someone who likes doing a job well and doing it consistently, who notices when something's off, and who wants to pioneer a brand-new team from the ground floor and set the standard for its future.
What you'll do:
- Build bots to released specs, SOPs, and work instructions, holding to the current validated revision so only good product moves forward.
- Own first-pass quality at your station, catching issues early and building it right the first time rather than passing problems downstream.
- Meet and improve on takt time and daily build targets, working diligently to hit customer demand and delivery commitments.
- Perform in-process quality checks as defined in the work instructions, and, as you grow, take on delegated quality checks across the line.
- Flag build issues, part problems, and anything that looks off to your Production Lead promptly and clearly, rather than building past it.
- Keep an organized, ergonomic, and safe workstation, following shop and PPE practices without being asked.
- Track your own build counts, times, and output accurately in the systems we use (Linear, Notion, Slack, Google, NetSuite).
- Suggest improvements to process, setup, and workflow, knowing which get adopted and which don't, and helping make the good ones stick.
- Help onboard and support new associates as the team grows, and help build the culture of the team from day one.
Ideal Candidates:
- Have hands-on assembly, production, or manufacturing experience, ideally with electro-mechanical hardware, robotics, or comparable technical assembly.
- Take pride in repeatability and process discipline: building to SOPs, holding a quality bar, and hitting schedule in a delivery-driven environment.
- Work carefully and precisely, and notice when a part, fit, or step isn't right.
- Can read and build to work instructions, drawings, and BOMs, and follow revision changes across builds.
- Have solid assembly fundamentals: hand tools, fastening, and an eye for build quality.
- Communicate clearly, show up on time and ready, and are dependable teammates who keep the line healthy.
- Are comfortable in an industrial environment working around heavy equipment, and follow shop safety practices without being asked.
Nice to have:
- Experience on a scaling assembly or production line.
- Familiarity with 3D models or CAD (Onshape a plus; we'll give you time to ramp), enough to communicate build issues clearly.
- Exposure to ERP/PLM systems (NetSuite, Arena) and ticketing/collaboration tools (Linear, Notion, Slack, JIRA).
- Wire soldering, connector crimping, or schematic reading.
- Forklift and/or personnel lift certification.
- Familiarity with MES and work-instruction systems.
Career Growth:
Bot Production is a brand new team, and these are the seats that build it. You'll grow deep product knowledge and SOP mastery, and there's real room to move: toward senior production technician, trainer, process improvement, or a second-lead track as the team scales, as well as paths into the broader manufacturing organization over time. We support both the person who wants to grow into leadership and the person who wants to master their craft and do it well every day. We hold formal performance reviews twice a year.
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 an 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

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Production Associate
Document your production credentials precisely
PERM requires your employer to match your actual duties to the certified job description. Gather certificates for any machinery operation, quality control systems, or safety training you hold so the labor certification reflects your real qualifications.
Target manufacturers enrolled in E-Verify
Facilities already using E-Verify for employment verification have the HR compliance infrastructure that makes PERM sponsorship realistic. Prioritize production employers in food, automotive, electronics, and consumer goods sectors where foreign national hiring is routine.
Search green card sponsors on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Production Associate openings by employers with active EB-3 sponsorship history. Targeting companies that have already filed PERM for similar roles cuts the time you spend screening employers who won't sponsor.
Understand the EB-3 prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer must pay at or above the DOL-certified prevailing wage for your production role and location. Look up the applicable wage level using the OFLC Wage Search before your offer conversation so you can confirm the posted salary clears the threshold.
Clarify sponsorship scope in the offer stage
Ask specifically whether the employer will cover PERM advertising, I-140 filing, and adjustment of status costs. Some manufacturers sponsor the I-140 only, leaving you responsible for I-485 fees, so get the full scope confirmed before you accept.
Prepare for the PERM recruitment documentation window
DOL requires employers to run recruitment for at least 30 days before filing PERM, and the application must be filed within 180 days of completing that recruitment. Factor this into your expected start-date conversation with your hiring manager.
Green Card Production Associate: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Production Associate roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Production Associate positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers, since the role typically requires training or experience rather than an advanced degree. EB-2 sponsorship is possible if the specific position requires a bachelor's degree or higher and the employer can document that requirement in the PERM job description. In practice, the majority of production sponsorship cases are filed under EB-3.
How does green card sponsorship for this role differ from H-1B sponsorship?
H-1B visa requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, which most production associate roles do not meet, making PERM-based green card sponsorship the more realistic path. Green card sponsorship through EB-3 has no annual lottery and leads to permanent residency rather than temporary status. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM, I-140, and adjustment of status typically take two to four years for most nationalities, compared to months for H-1B approval.
What does the PERM labor certification process involve for a Production Associate employer?
The employer must conduct a supervised recruitment campaign, including job postings and required advertisements, to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. DOL then reviews the application and, if certified, the employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. The entire PERM filing and I-140 stage can take 12 to 24 months before you can file for adjustment of status.
How can I find Production Associate jobs with green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Production Associate openings filtered specifically by employers with EB-3 sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which manufacturers will actually file PERM. Focusing on companies that have sponsored similar roles before significantly improves your chances of advancing past initial screening with a realistic sponsorship offer in hand.
Can I use O*NET data to strengthen my PERM job description?
Yes. The O*NET occupation profile for production associate roles outlines the standard tasks, skills, and knowledge requirements that DOL auditors recognize. Sharing the O*NET profile with your employer's immigration counsel helps ensure the certified job description accurately captures the specialized duties that justify sponsorship, reducing the risk of a PERM audit or denial based on a generic or overbroad description.
