Senior Robotics Engineer

About Mowito

At Mowito (mowito.ai), we're building Physical AI – intelligent models that control robot arms directly from sensor and camera data. Our robots learn from demonstrations, enabling no-code automation for highly dynamic manufacturing processes.

We work with Fortune 500 companies like Denso to deliver advanced robotic solutions for inspection and assembly in automotive factories, reducing deployment time and costs while expanding automation's reach to a broader range of manufacturers.

Role Overview

As a Senior Robotics Engineer, you'll design, develop, and deploy advanced robotic control systems for industrial robotic arms. You'll lead projects from concept to deployment — integrating AI-driven perception, planning, and control to solve complex automation challenges. You'll collaborate closely with our AI, hardware, and deployment teams to bring cutting-edge automation to real-world factories.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced robotic perception, planning, and control systems for high-DOF industrial arms.
  • Own projects end-to-end — from requirements gathering, architecture, and algorithm design to deployment and ongoing optimization.
    • Invent and implement novel algorithms that push the limits of robot intelligence, perception, and autonomy.
      • Integrate AI and machine learning models into real-time robotic control pipelines (ROS2-based).
        • Prototype, test, and validate solutions in both simulation and on physical robot systems.
          • Collaborate with AI researchers, mechanical/electrical engineers, and deployment teams to ensure seamless integration.
            • Optimize system performance for low latency, robustness, and industrial reliability.
              • Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices for code quality, testing, and system reliability.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in robotics software development (industrial or research).
    • Strong proficiency in C++ and Python (production-level code).
      • Solid foundation in robotics fundamentals: kinematics, dynamics, control theory, motion planning, perception, and sensor fusion.
        • Experience with ROS/ROS2 and real-time robot control systems.
          • Hands-on experience deploying robotic systems in industrial environments.
            • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex software-hardware interactions.
              • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with shifting priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Robotics, AI, or related field.
  • Experience with industrial arms (UR, FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, etc.).
    • Experience integrating deep learning models (PyTorch/TensorFlow) for perception or control.
      • Knowledge of CNN models, imitation learning, or reinforcement learning.
        • Experience with hardware acceleration (GPU programming, CUDA).
          • Familiarity with safety-critical robotics and ISO standards for industrial robots.
            • Experience leading cross-functional engineering projects.
              • Strong track record of publications, patents, or successful deployed robotic products.

Why Join Mowito?

• Lead projects with full technical ownership and decision-making authority.
  • Opportunity to develop algorithms and systems that have never been built before.
    • Directly impact automation in global manufacturing with Fortune 500 clients.
      • Competitive salary and equity options.
        • Flexible, innovation-driven culture where your work moves from concept to factory floor fast.

If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of robotics and AI, and want to see your work power real robots in global factories, we'd love to hear from you.
