We are building a shared “robot data ecosystem” where datasets, trained models, and benchmarks are available to everyone.\nResearchers around the world will be able to evaluate their models on standardized humanoid robots through our open evaluation platform.\nFor researchers, this means an opportunity to:\nWork on fundamental challenges in robotics and AI: multimodal learning, tactile-rich manipulation, sim-to-real transfer, and large-scale benchmarking.\nAccess state-of-the-art infrastructure: hundreds of humanoid robots, GPU clusters, high-fidelity simulators, and a global-scale evaluation pipeline.\nCollaborate with leading experts across academia and industry, and publish results that will shape the next decade of robotics.\nContribute to an initiative that will redefine the future of embodied AI-with all results made open to the world.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, develop and implement teleoperation systems, including real-time control, low-latency audio/video streaming and operator-facing interfaces.\nWork closely with robot operators to gather feedback from real-world use and continuously improve the user experience.\nProvide data-quality feedback through the teleoperation UI to encourage higher-quality data collection.\nDevelop and maintain applications that support data collection, such as internal tools and dashboards.\nBuild intuitive web-based interfaces for managing and monitoring data pipelines.\nCollaborate with VLA teams and Data/ML platform teams to ensure seamless data ingestion and workflow management.\nDesign and implement APIs to facilitate data interactions between internal services and external data sources.\nDevelop configuration-management systems to store and update metadata, including robot configurations and task descriptions.\nEnsure secure communication through robust authentication and access-control mechanisms.\nRequirements\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).\n4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack engineer, with proficiency in both backend and frontend development.\nBackend: Proficiency in implementing solutions using technologies such as Go and Python FastAPI.\nFrontend: Proficiency in modern frameworks such as Next.js, React.\nCloud: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.\nLeadership: Experience leading and driving technical decisions with initiative as a Tech Lead, Team Lead, or equivalent.\nDemonstrated experience in at least one of the following areas:\nA strong understanding of event-driven or real-time communication protocols (e.g., WebRTC, WebSocket, MQTT, gRPC.\nExperience with large-scale data processing.\nHands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and related web tools (e.g., ROSBridge, Foxglove, Webviz).\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with development micro services.\nExperience with development of realtime dashboards.\nFamiliarity with robot telemetry, sensor data visualization, and live camera feeds.\nExperience optimizing system performance using performance analysis tools.\nDevOps, SRE & Quality Assurance.\nFamiliarity with best practices, including observability, CI/CD, and incident response.\nExperience with Infrastructure as Code IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.\nProficiency in implementing and maintaining automated testing across all levels (unit, integration, E2E.\nOthers (linguistic qualification, etc.)\nHighly appreciated English proficiency at business level\nBenefits\nThere are currently no comparable projects in the world that collect data and develop foundation models on such a large scale. As mentioned above, this is one of Japan’s leading national projects, supported by a substantial investment of 20.5 billion yen from NEDO.\nThis position will play a crucial role in determining the success of the project. You will have broad discretion and responsibility, and we are confident that, if successful, you will gain both a great sense of achievement and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to society.\nFurthermore, we strongly encourage engineers to actively build their careers through this project-for example, by publishing research papers and engaging in academic activities.\n•Work location\nTokyo Ryutsu Center A Bldg.
