Robotics Engineer

Molg • Sterling, VA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Molg is building robotic systems that make electronics manufacturing circular. They work with hyperscalers and leading electronics manufacturers to automate how hardware is designed, manufactured, disassembled, repaired, reused, and recovered. Using robotics, computational design, and AI, their systems turn e-waste into resilient, data-driven supply chains and change how electronics are made. In this role, you will work with a talented cross-functional team of software, mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers to develop core technologies in robotics, assembly intelligence, computer vision, and microfactories. You will deliver high-quality, testable code for built/integrated robotic hardware, build core CAD to robotic motion and grasp planning workflow software, develop and expand advance simulation and motion planning capabilities, and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers on tooling, fixturing, vision systems, and control systems. You’ll have the opportunity to build alongside an incredible team, develop innovative solutions, and grow in a fast-paced environment that values autonomy and impact.

Requirements

• 3+ years of industry experience developing automated solutions using 6 DOF robots
• 3+ years of experience in Python3 or C++
• Proficiency with ROS, ROS2, or another robot-oriented software framework
• Proficiency with modern software development tools and principles: unix/linux systems, shell software (sh, bash, zsh), git, containerization, CI/CD, automation, OOP
• Excellent understanding of core robotics principles including homogenous transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, closed-loop control, path and motion planning, localization.
• Demonstrable experience using physical robot systems from industry leading manufacturers, such as ABB, FANUC, or KUKA
• Proven experience taking robotics software from proof-of-concept to production; implementing features vertically through the stack and hardening them for the real world with observability, robust error handling, and graceful failure recovery
• Experience integrating software with robotic hardware, controllers, and higher-level task-planning systems, and validating it on physical robots, not only in simulation
• A track record of diagnosing and improving robot behavior using live-cell data, logs, and telemetry, closing the loop between what the simulation predicted and what the hardware actually did
• Skilled at partnering with mechanical and systems engineers to make software resilient to real-world tolerances, mechanical compliance, and part-to-part variability
• Able to communicate effectively and efficiently both verbally and in writing
• Ability to work in-person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA.

Responsibilities

• Delivering high-quality, testable code for built/integrated robotic hardware (i.e. microfactories)
• Building core CAD to robotic motion and grasp planning workflow software
• Developing and expanding advance simulation and motion planning capabilities
• Collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers on tooling, fixturing, vision systems, and control systems
