Mujin

Mujin is the future of industrial robotic systems in production and distribution environments. Our technology gives robots perception and awareness, enabling them to take on advanced tasks beyond simple pick-and-place. We aim to revolutionize robotics in industry, freeing human resources from labor-intensive work to focus on intellectual challenges.

As a Software Developer for Robotics at Mujin, you will design and implement cutting-edge algorithms for real-time motion planning, perception, and control of industrial robots and grippers. You will develop cutting-edge robotics technology, including the design, implementation, and testing of algorithms that run on numerous robots in real time. You will test and deploy your work in simulation and the real world on various off-the-shelf and in-house robotics hardware.

Within that scope, you will specialize in gripper technology, where robotics stops being simulation and starts being physics: vacuum and airflow, seal quality, load balance, and hardware that wears. You will model that physics in production C++ and Python and close the loop back into motion planning and grasp selection. The work spans real-time control against industrial IO and sensors, calibration and fault-diagnosis pipelines, bench experiments, and production data from customer sites. This role is ideal for someone passionate about robotics, automation, and pushing the boundaries of intelligent systems.

Position Description:

• Design, develop, and test advanced robotics software for motion planning, kinematics, and real-time control of robot arms and grippers.
• Design and run bench experiments on real gripper hardware to characterize behavior and validate models.
• Design and maintain pipelines for gripper calibration and fault diagnosis.
• Architect and optimize software systems for industrial automation environments.
• Integrate Mujin’s “Teachless” technology with major industrial robot arms (Fanuc, Yaskawa, ABB, etc.).
• Write production-quality codethat runsin real-time. Deploy solutions in simulation and real-world environments at scale.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in deployed systems.
• Other duties as assigned

Position Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Physics or a related field.
• Experience with Linux development environments and programming in C++ and python.
• Expertise in 3D motion planning and robot kinematics.
• Solid understanding of math and physics fundamentals related to robotics manipulation and gripper control.
• Familiarity with industrial robot arms (Fanuc, Yaskawa, ABB).

Preferred Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience using Python and C++ for high-performance applications.
• Expertise in robotic motion planning, grasp planning, and gripper control.
• Experience with fluid mechanics and pneumatics, including vacuum generation and manifold pressure dynamics.
• Ability to build and validate lumped-parameter dynamic models.
• Comfort with probabilistic and statistical modeling of physical processes.
• Experience with real-time systems and distributed architecture.
• Experience with robotics, industrial automation, and warehouse systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices.

Physical Demands / Work Environment:

• Travel Requirement: Road Warrior. Willing to travel a bout 60% of the year as required by project demands
• Work in both office and warehouse/manufacturing environments
• Ability to work extended hours as required by project deliveries
