About the role

  • At Coupang, you will see yourself, your colleagues, your team, and the company grow every day.
  • We push the boundaries of what's possible to solve problems and break traditional tradeoffs.
  • The team is based in Mountain View, Seattle, and Seoul.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and optimize motion-planning, trajectory-optimization, manipulation-planning, and feedback-control algorithms for robotic systems.
  • Develop planning and control software for collision avoidance, constrained motion, grasping, manipulation, and task execution in dynamic, uncertain environments.
  • Build and maintain production-quality robotics software.
  • Develop simulation, testing, and validation workflows that assess safety, robustness, latency, repeatability, and task success across representative operating conditions.
  • Collaborate with hardware, perception, and system teams to define system interfaces, compute and sensor requirements, and deployment architectures.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or Ph.D. with 2~4 years' experience in industrial in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Control, or a closely related field.
  • Proficiency in C++, with experience writing maintainable, tested, and performance-conscious production software.
  • Hands-on experience with robotics open-source ecosystems and libraries such as ROS/ROS 2, MoveIt, cuRobo, Pinocchio, OMPL, Drake, Isaac Sim, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience integrating and debugging a full robotic system across software, sensors, actuators, middleware, simulation, and hardware.

Nice to have

  • Proven record of deploying reliable autonomy, manipulation, or motion-control systems at scale in industrial or commercial settings.
  • Expertise in modern GPU-accelerated planning, differentiable optimization, sampling-based planning, model predictive control (MPC), whole-body control, or real-time trajectory generation.
  • Experience combining learned policies or foundation models with classical planning, optimization, safety constraints, and control methods.
  • Familiarity with multimodal perception, scene understanding, grasp synthesis, contact-rich manipulation, or closed-loop visual servoing.
  • Experience with simulation platforms, digital twins, synthetic-data pipelines, and automated regression or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Contributions to open-source robotics projects, peer-reviewed publications, patents, or demonstrated technical leadership in the robotics community.
  • Our compensation reflects the cost of living across several US geographic markets.
  • The base pay for this position ranges from $164K/year to $282K/year.
