Robotics Software Engineer - Motion Planning

Team: Automation - Retail

Location: Tokyo

Commitment: Full-Time employee

Workplace Type: hybrid

Responsibilities

• Develop real-time motion control software to control robot manipulators using Inverse Kinematics, collision avoidance and active compliance control algorithms
• Develop TX's custom-made robot control software, such as actuator driver integration and ROS framework integration
• Integrate the entire software components to make the robotic solution ready for enterprise-level production

Requirements

• Master's degree or above in a relevant field
• Expert in C++ software development on Linux/Ubuntu platform
• Expert in ROS2 framework and MoveIt Motion Planning. If we gave you URDF, you should be able to create a ROS environment with MoveIt to control the robot in the Gazebo environment from scratch
• Experience in developing software to control robot manipulator (e.g., UR series of Universal Robots)
• Hands-on experience with motor control and PID algorithms
• Knowledge of robotics control theory (Kinematics, Dynamics, Motion Planning, and Control)
• Passion to develop a product used in real operations (product mindset)
• Good communication skills and proactive collaboration
• Business level of English

Desired Skills

• Japanese language skill to communicate with internal/external stakeholders
• Experience in developing force/torque control software, such as compliance control
• Creative in solving issues; data-driven debugging and iteration
• Autonomous problem-solver: proactively identifies and breaks down issues, investigates logs/metrics, designs experiments, proposes options, and delivers fixes/features end-to-end with minimal oversight—while communicating progress and escalating when truly blocked
• Experience simulating robotic systems and their interactions with physics-based environments
