Mujin - Senior Robotics Algorithm Engineer (C++ / Optimization)
Requirements
• Academic background in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields • 5+ years of academic or industry experience in robotics and software engineering • Strong proficiency in C++ and Python • Solid understanding of linear algebra, 3D geometry, and their applications in robotics • Experience working in Linux environments • High motivation to solve real-world robotics problems • Business level English skills or Japanese skills • Experience with concurrent or hierarchical robotic software stacks (e.g., ROS, OpenRAVE, custom frameworks) • Hands-on experience with multi-joint robot hardware • Mathematical foundations in areas such as multibody dynamics, collision checking, graph/search algorithms, or optimization
Responsibilities
• Tackle scientific and technical challenges in motion planning, control, packing, and system design for industrial robots (robot arms and other peraherals). • Design, develop, and test algorithms for robotic manipulation tasks such as picking, packing, and material handling. • Build highly concurrent, performance-critical software systems. • Implement and optimize real-time communication modules with robot controllers and peripheral devices using C/C++. • Team up with our project management and integration teams to support PoCs and ensure that our technologies work smoothly in real customer setups.
Benefits
• Your work doesn’t stay in simulation—your algorithms become production-grade, real-world applications such as palletizing, picking, and depalletizing that run on factory floors globally. • You will work on real industrial robotics problems, and your algorithms will be deployed rapidly to solve previously impossible automation challenges. • Our team is made up of experienced robotics specialists from top global programs (e.g., NTU, CMU, Stanford). You’ll work alongside supportive teammates and mentors who share knowledge openly and help each other grow. • We develop the core of the Mujin platform in-house, unifying planning, perception, simulation, and control so we can shape the entire system with complete autonomy. • Interview Process: • Coding Assessment: Initial technical evaluation. • HR Interview: Discussion with Human Resources. • Hiring Manager Interview: One or two rounds with the hiring manager. • Take-Home Assignment & Feedback Interview (If Applicable): A task to complete on your own, followed by a feedback session. • 3-8-5 Tatsumi, Koto-Ku, Tokyo 135-0053, Japan • 8:45 - 17:45 (with a 60-minute break) • Additional bonuses are available based on performance • Every Saturday and Sunday • Annual paid leaves • Maternity leave and Childcare leave • Flex Holiday (take public holidays on days of your choice) • Other holidays as defined by the company • Flexible dress code policy • Commuting allowance • Japanese Social Security (Health Insurance, Pension, Labor Insurance) • Monthly team dinner support • Free buffet lunch every workday • Free vending machines (offering drinks and snacks) • High-end coffee machine • Exclusive Employee Gym Access • Japan Relocation Support • Flight ticket support • Shipping expenses coverage up to a specified limit • Assistance for housing • We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
