Software Engineering for Robotics (C++, Python)

About Mujin

Robot intelligence will change the world

Applied to industrial robots, our core software plays a central part in high-value automation solutions. Mujin's system is the world’s only all-purpose intelligent robot controller with motion planning AI, which can make any robot intelligent, allowing them to be used for applications in various fields in ways that were previously impractical.

Mujin is composed of only the world’s top engineers; a startup enterprise with an elite team of 70. We’ve put together a highly skilled, multinational team from Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, MIT, the University of Paris, University of Tokyo, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and ten other countries; having this team of professionals on site contributes to our strength as a company.

Position

We work in a fast-paced, agile environment where we constantly collaborate, review ideas amongst peers, and test proposed solutions. We encourage continuous learning and brainstorming of ideas within the team! As a part of the Robotics System Team, you will be focusing on algorithmic design, development, and deployment of robotics technologies.

Responsibilities

• Solve cutting-edge scientific and technical challenges in motion planning, control, and system design of industrial robots
• Design, develop, and test 1) motion planning and control algorithms for industrial robots to execute various tasks such as picking and material handling; 2) highly concurrent software systems; 3) real-time communication modules with robot controllers and peripheral devices in C/C++
• Deploy Mujin systems at customer sites
