Robotics Software Engineer (3D Bin-Packing & Optimization)

About Mujin Europe

Are you ready to shape the future of industrial robotic systems?

Mujin uses robotics technology to develop smart automation solutions for logistics, material handling, and manufacturing. Our technology gives robots perception and awareness, enabling them to take on more advanced tasks by applying our unique approach to industrial robotics. Be at the forefront of groundbreaking robotics automation that challenge your skills and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Position

We are seeking a talented Robotics Software Engineer (3D Bin-Packing & Optimization) to join our European engineering team and contribute to next-generation logistics automation solutions. In this role, you will develop advanced spatial and packing algorithms that feed directly into MujinOS-powered robotic systems — enabling optimal container and bin utilization, smarter loading/unloading, and efficient warehouse workflows. 

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement robust algorithms for 3D bin packing, container/trailer loading, and space optimization — ensuring maximal utilization and compliance with physical and operational constraints. 
• Work with spatial reasoning, 3D geometry, collision detection, and geometric data structures (e.g., for crates, pallets, container interiors). 
• Integrate packing logic with MujinOS’s real-time motion planning and digital-twin workflows to feed downstream robotic behavior. 
• Collaborate with robotics, perception, and systems teams to ensure that packing algorithms align with robot kinematics, motion planning, and real-world operational constraints (weight, stacking rules, fragile items, rotation limits, etc.). 
• Profile, test, and optimize algorithms for high performance and scalability — able to run in real time or near-real time in high-throughput logistics environments. 
• Work closely with operations, product management, and customers to translate ambiguous or variable real-world constraints into robust, production-ready technical solutions 

Your qualification

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. 
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++. 
• Deep understanding of algorithms, computational geometry, spatial data structures, bin/packing / space-optimization problems, or operations research. 
• Familiarity with optimization frameworks or ability to design custom heuristics/solvers (heuristics, meta-heuristics, constraint or combinatorial optimization). 
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to convert ambiguous real-world constraints (logistics/trucking/warehouse rules) into concrete, maintainable software. 
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset; comfortable working in cross-functional teams combining software, robotics, operations, and product stakeholders. 
• Exposure mixed-SKU palletizing, container loading/unloading, or dynamic storage/packing systems. 
• Professional working proficiency in English (spoken and written). 

Will be a plus

• Experience in logistics, warehouse automation, robotics, or supply chainsystems. 
• Familiarity with robotic control pipelines, motion-planning frameworks, or integration of algorithms into autonomous systems. 
• Experience with 3D visualization tools or frameworks (for simulation or debugging). 

What we offer

• Competitive compensation reflecting your skills and impact
• Paid time off (vacation, sick leave, holidays) 
• Access to cutting-edge robotics and the full MujinOS technology stack 
• International, inclusive, and collaborative culture 
• Clear opportunities for growth, technical advancement, and leadership 

Are you ready to be a part of the Mujin journey and shape the future of robotics in Europe?
