Software Engineering for Robotics (C++, Python)

About Mujin

Mujin develops and sells "intelligent robot controllers" with the goal of building a common platform for industrial robots. 

Conventional robots are suitable for automating repetitive work, but traditionally they've been hard to install in environments where products and surroundings change. Most robots have complex settings that are hard to change for each use case. Mujin's tech solves this problem using technology called motion planning. It allows them to provide solutions that replace heavy but simple work done by humans with automation by robots. The technology is used primarily for logistics and manufacturing applications.

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

Your qualification

• Academic background in computer science, robotics, or related fields
• 3+ years of academic or work experience in robotics or software engineering
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++
• Experience with Linux
• Experience using linear algebra and 3D geometry to solve engineering problems
• Highly enthusiastic about robotics

Preferable Requirements 

• Experience with developing concurrent and hierarchical robotic software systems such as ROS
• Experience with software development in medium to large scale team
• Experience with multi-joint robot hardware
• Advanced Linux user
• Mathematical background such as multibody dynamics, collision checking, search algorithms and optimization

What we offer

Attractiveness

• We are focused on solving real-world problems and your contributions are deployed quickly to empower industrial robots to perform tasks that were previously impossible
• Our team members come from specialized areas in robotics and have achieved degrees from schools such as Nanyang Technological University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Stanford University, and some have won top prizes in robotics competitions
• We use “machine intelligence” to make our robots intelligent. It's a fusion of real-time motion planning, perception, simulation, and control technologies. Check this article for more info
