Summary

Software Engineer(will belong to our Backend System Team) focuses on the system architecture and design, development, and deployment of Mujin's motion planning AI-equipped intelligent robot controllers.


Responsibilities

Design and implement a wide variety of system software

  1. Real-time OS and real-time network protocols 
  2. Linux kernel modules, Linux boot, and base system, hardware drivers 
  3. System security, TPM, and data encryption
  4. Build tools and infrastructure, deployment, remote control, and upgrade system.


Design and implement reliable, high-performance backend services and APIs for industrial robot controllers

  • High-performance HTTP server 
  • ZeroMQ inter-process communication 
  • High-efficiency database 
  • Cloud services


Others

  • Develop drivers to interface with industrial hardware such as robots, conveyors, 3D cameras, sensors, PLC, AGV, ASRS, WMS 
  • Solve cutting-edge complex technical challenges throughout the entire system 
  • Occasional business trips to customer sites in Japan and abroad


Minimum Requirements

  • BSc degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields, or equivalent academic or work experience

Attractiveness

  • We are looking for those who are prepared to dedicate themselves to facing big challenges, work proactively and independently, and take ownership when working with members across the teams!
  • 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 is 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 cutting-edge industrial systems such as AGVs and ASRS.


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.
