Product Development Team

At a Glance

Section titled “At a Glance”

The Product Development Team The Product Development team designs mechanical, pneumatic, and gripper systems to create standardized, high-performance robot cells.

Team Mission

Section titled “Team Mission”

We build high-performance automation software and systems at Mujin, enabling autonomous perception, motion planning, and real-time execution.

Core Responsibilities

Section titled “Core Responsibilities”

We turn engineering requirements into standard physical products:

Universal Gripper Design

We develop advanced mechanical, vacuum, and hybrid end-effectors capable of picking diverse packages and products.

Standard Cell Mechanicals

We design modular robot enclosures, conveyor brackets, camera mounts, and safety fences for fast on-site installation.

Pneumatic & Valve Systems

We design low-latency, high-flow pneumatic manifolds and vacuum circuits that ensure fast, reliable gripper picks.

Tech Stack & Workflows

Section titled “Tech Stack & Workflows”

We bridge computer design with physical testing in our workshops:

  1. Mechanical Design & CAD
    • 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor) for parts and assemblies.
    • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure structural strength and weight reduction.
  2. Pneumatics & Control
    • Designing circuits using Festo/SMC valves, pressure sensors, and proportional regulators.
  3. Prototyping & Physical Verification
    • 3D printing and CNC machining prototypes for quick test validation.
    • Using test benches to measure suction force, grip force, and cycle endurance.

Who Succeeds in Our Team

Section titled “Who Succeeds in Our Team”

We look for engineers who enjoy bringing physical designs to life:

  • Technical Competence: Strong knowledge of material properties, mechanics, pneumatic circuits, and manufacturing processes.
  • Effective Collaboration: Working with Robotics and Vision teams to ensure gripper designs don’t block camera views or limit motion.
  • Continuous Learning: Finding lighter, stronger materials (like carbon fiber) to optimize payload capacity.
