Staff Robotics System and Control Engineer

Description Company Introduction We exist to wow our customers. ” Born out of an obsession to make shopping, eating, and living easier than ever, we’re collectively disrupting the multi-billion-dollar e-commerce industry from the ground up. We are one of the fastest-growing ecommerce companies that established an unparalleled reputation for being a dominant and reliable force in South Korean commerce.

We are proud to have the best of both worlds — a startup culture with the resources of a large global public company. This fuels us to continue our growth and launch new services at the speed we have been since our inception. We are all entrepreneurial surrounded by opportunities to drive new initiatives and innovations.

At our core, we are bold and ambitious people that like to get our hands dirty and make a hands-on impact. At Coupang, you will see yourself, your colleagues, your team, and the company grow every day. Our mission to build the future of commerce is real.

We push the boundaries of what’s possible to solve problems and break traditional tradeoffs. Join Coupang now to create an epic experience in this always-on, high-tech, and hyper-connected world. Job Overview Global Operations Automation and Robotics Technology (GO ART) is the Zero-One organization within Coupang chartered to design, build, and deploy the most advanced fulfillment and transportation automation and robotics solutions in the industry.

We are transforming Coupang's logistics network through in-house robotics, computer vision, and AI — at a scale and speed unmatched in Asian e-commerce. The team is based in Mountain View, Seattle, and Seoul. We are seeking a Robotics Planning and Control Engineer to develop robust, high-performance autonomy software for real-world robotic systems.

In this role, you will own and contribute across the motion-planning and control stack, transforming perception, task-level goals, and system constraints into safe, efficient, and reliable robot behavior. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams spanning hardware, perception, systems, and product engineering to deploy robotic capabilities in industrial environments. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in robotics algorithms with a systems-level mindset and hands-on experience taking solutions from prototype through validation and production deployment.

Key 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. Integrate planning and control modules with perception, state estimation, kinematics, dynamics, simulation, and robot hardware.

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. Diagnose and resolve issues observed during robot bring-up, field testing, and deployment; use data-driven methods to improve system performance and reliability.

Requirements

, and deployment architectures. Contribute to technical roadmaps, architecture decisions, code reviews, documentation, and engineering best practices. Stay current with advances in robotics planning, control, learning, and foundation models, and evaluate their applicability to real-world products.

Qualifications

D. with 2~4 years' experience in industrial in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Control, or a closely related field.
