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 looking for a Senior Director of Robotics & Computer Vision to lead the technical strategy, organization, and delivery of GO ART's robotic perception and manipulation programs end-to-end. This executive is the single technical owner for how Coupang's fulfillment centers see, reason about, and physically interact with the world.
The right candidate is a player-coach technology leader who has personally built and shipped robotic perception or manipulation systems at production scale, and who has subsequently grown and led multi-team organizations (engineers, applied scientists, and hardware/integration partners) that deliver against aggressive operational milestones. They are equally comfortable presenting a research roadmap to executives, debugging a 6-DoF pose-estimation pipeline on the floor of an FC, and recruiting world-class talent into a fast-moving Zero-One environment.
