Point

We are looking for those who are prepared to dedicate to facing big challenges, work proactively and independently, and take ownership when working with members across the teams!

【Attractiveness / Uniqueness】

  • You will get your “hands dirty” working on all aspects of the industrial robot controller, not being confined to a specific component in the system. The work is challenging, mostly like something that you have never done before, requiring extensive research.
  • Since the work if widely-applicable, it will affect everyone in the engineering team, making the Backend System Engineers the likely “go-to” people. You will have chances to travel and work onsite to integrate the cutting-edge industrial systems such as AGVs and ASRS.

Work Location:

Tatsumi office: 3-8-5 Tatsumi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, 135-0053 Japan

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.
