He was Vancouver Whitecaps head coach between 2014 and 2018.
"I'm proud to join DC United and be a part of the coaching staff for such a historic MLS club," Robinson said.
"I'm excited about the project that's being led by Wayne Rooney and believe that the team can be successful this season."
Rooney, who was appointed DC United manager last summer, added: "Carl is an experienced MLS coach who has a great understanding of the league, both as a player and coach.
"He's already added a lot of value to the coaching side and his knowledge and experience will be a great addition."
DC United's ownership includes Swansea City shareholders Steve Kaplan, Jason Levien and Jake Silverstein.
