Summary:
Mujin is the future of industrial robotic systems in production and distribution environments. Our technology gives robots perception and awareness, enabling them to take on more advanced tasks. We aim to revolutionize the use of robotics within industry to free human resources from labor-intensive tasks to focus on more intellectual challenges.
The Technical Project Manager leads execution of automation and integration projects from planning through Factory Acceptance Testing/ Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT) and handover, and supports onsite during these processes as well as other critical execution phases. The role serves as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, managing the full lifecycle of the project. This role is hands-on, driving milestones, coordinating with site, engineering, and customers, and ensuring full visibility on progress and is the voice of record for the customer delivery communications. You will ensure projects meet deadlines, stay within budget and adhere to quality standards. It is a technical execution role, not just schedule management.
Position Description:
- Develop detailed project plans, schedules, and budgets; define project objectives, milestones and deliverable.
- Coordinate internal and external resources
- Lead assigned projects from planning through FAT/SAT and customer handover.
- Drive milestone execution and site readiness, coordinating with engineering and site teams.
- Plan and manage on-site commissioning plans, Factory Acceptance Test plans, and Site Acceptance Test plans preparation, resource alignment, customer schedules, and issue tracking.
- Own on-site execution and daily standups, milestone tracking, escalation, and reporting to identify potential risks, forecast delays, and implement mitigation strategies
- Maintain regular communications with clients, executives, and team members; provide status updates and manage expectations
- Manage budget tracking, risks, and change control for assigned projects.
- Maintain Wrike (or equivalent) dashboards and documentation for full visibility.
- Support commissioning, testing, and punch list closure on site.
- May manage multiple projects concurrently, ensuring successful project delivery within established scope, schedule, and budget
- Oversee vendors and subcontractors to ensure the equipment/services provided meet project specifications/standards, budget, and schedule/timelines
- Drive continuous improvement to enhance the efficiency and scalability of robotic solutions.
- Serves as owner of schedule logic, milestone control, recovery planning, cost tracking, variance escalation, and change order identification and execution
Key Responsibilities:
- Position requires a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering or related technical field. Master’s degree is strongly desired.
- 5+ years of experience in technical project execution, ideally in automation, robotics, or systems integration.
- Hands-on experience with FAT/SAT or commissioning required.
- Proficiency with Write, or similar project tracking tool
- Strong communication skills and ability to lead cross-functional teams.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

What We Do
Mujin develops and sells "intelligent robot controllers," designated as a common platform for industrial robots.
Conventional robots, even though they are suitable for the automation of repetitive work, were difficult to install in environments where handled products and the surroundings are liable to change, due to the robots’ operations differing by the manufacturer and the complex settings.
Mujin has solved this problem using technology called motion planning, and is providing solutions in which heavy/simple work done by humans at the logistics/manufacturing scene are automated by robots.
