Robotics Algorithm Engineer (C++ / Optimization)

Mujin is a global leader in industrial automation, redefining supply chain efficiency through MujinOS—our intelligent operating system for robotics. At our core is Machine Intelligence (MujinMI), a unique approach that leverages real-time digital twins and advanced perception, planning, and control algorithms to achieve fully autonomous operations. Our flagship product, MujinController, empowers users with a highly configurable, no-code interface. By integrating cutting-edge motion planning and computer vision, it enables seamless automation for complex applications such as palletizing, picking, and truck unloading. Headquartered in Japan with a growing presence in the US, China, and Europe, we invite you to join a dynamic environment where you can shape the future of automation. Our team develops MujinOS’s fundamental algorithmic layer, blending control algorithms, real-time motion planning, and advanced packing algorithms. This layer powers downstream applications including palletizing, piece-picking, and depalletizing, allowing users to build solutions efficiently on our platform. We work in a fast-paced, agile environment where we collaborate closely, review ideas openly, and iterate quickly. Continuous learning and technical curiosity are strongly encouraged. As part of the Robotics System Team, you will design, develop, and deploy advanced algorithms that power Mujin’s real-time industrial robotic systems. Team Structure & Focus Areas Our team consists of three core algorithmic tracks. You may specialize in one while collaborating across all: Control Algorithms Real-time trajectory control, robot dynamics, multibody modeling, and precision execution. Motion Planning Collision checking, sampling-based planning, optimization-based planning, high-speed bin-picking motions. Packing Algorithms Geometric reasoning, packing optimization, item fitting strategies, and fast combinatorial search.
