Responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality, testable code for integrated robotic hardware and microfactories.
- Build CAD-to-robotic-motion and grasp-planning workflow software.
- Develop and expand simulation and motion-planning capabilities.
- Integrate software with robotic hardware, controllers, vision systems, and higher-level task-planning systems.
- Validate robotics software on physical robots and harden it for production with observability, error handling, and failure recovery.
- Diagnose and improve robot behavior using live-cell data, logs, and telemetry.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers on tooling, fixturing, control systems, tolerances, compliance, and part variability.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of industry experience developing automated solutions using 6-DOF robots.
- At least 3 years of experience developing with Python 3 or C++.
- Proficiency with ROS, ROS2, or another robot-oriented software framework.
- Proficiency with Unix/Linux systems, shell software such as sh, bash, and zsh, Git, containerization, automation, and object-oriented programming.
- Strong understanding of homogeneous transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, closed-loop control, path and motion planning, and localization.
- Demonstrable experience using physical robot systems from manufacturers such as ABB, FANUC, or KUKA.
- Experience taking robotics software from proof of concept to production and implementing features vertically through the stack.
- Experience validating robotics software on physical robots rather than only in simulation.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to work in person at Molg headquarters in Sterling, Virginia.
Benefits
- The role is 100% in person at Molg’s headquarters in Sterling, VA.
- The company provides hands-on access to robots, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, and other industrial equipment, with opportunities to learn how to use the machinery.
- The role offers autonomy, impact, and collaboration within a growing startup.
About Molg
Molg builds robotic microfactories that autonomously disassemble and process electronic hardware, enabling circular manufacturing for electronics makers and hyperscalers. It provides robotics, firmware, and AI-driven design-for-disassembly tools and works with manufacturers to automate repair, reuse, and material recovery. The privately held company is headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, and focuses on industrial automation for electronics manufacturing and e-waste reduction.
