Junior Project Manager

XYZ Robotics is a global leader in the development of fully autonomous robot recognition and manipulation. As a pioneer in Mobile Manipulation Robotics (MMR), we leverage state-of-the-art embodied AI—including 3D vision, motion planning, and reinforcement learning—to overcome the biggest challenges in logistics: automated truck loading/unloading and order picking. Founded in 2018, the company is headquartered in Shanghai and has global offices in the US, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. To date, XYZ Robotics has raised over $100 million in funding. We transform the warehouse loading dock from a manual bottleneck into a highly efficient, automated gateway.
