AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is a Japanese non-profit organization dedicated to advancing AI-powered robotics through open data platforms and collaborative research. The association develops scalable robot data ecosystems, foundation models, and shared software tools to accelerate the deployment of humanoid and general-purpose robots worldwide.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Designing service robot systems for real-world environments (e.g., homes, retail stores, and logistics sites).
  • Planning and executing proof-of-concept (PoC) studies and field experiments in the service robotics domain.
  • Selecting, improving, and iterating on robot hardware used in the project.
  • サービスロボットシステム (e.g., household environment, retail shops, and logistics) の設計
  • サービスロボット領域における実証実験の計画
  • プロジェクトで使用するロボット・ハードウェアの選定・改良

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

  • M.S. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Extensive hands-on experience with physical robotic platforms (e.g., mobile robots, manipulators such as UR5, Franka Emika, HSR, or humanoids).
  • Demonstrated ability to control real robots using ROS / ROS2, including full-stack integration and deployment.
  • Strong programming proficiency in C++ and Python, with the ability to contribute production-level code and perform system-level integration.
  • Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary research and engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or M.S. with 3+ years of equivalent industry or research experience.
  • Publication record in top-tier robotics conferences or journals (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, TRO, IJRR).
  • Experience participating in and/or receiving awards at international robotics competitions (e.g., RoboCup@Home).
  • Willingness to conduct real-world validation experiments by using service robots in everyday life environments (e.g., at home).
  • Experience leading or contributing to large-scale robot data collection or fleet management systems.
  • Familiarity with robotic simulators (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or PyBullet) for training and evaluation.
  • Experience integrating Sim2Real transfer or Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models onto real robotic systems.

Leadership & Other Qualifications

  • Leadership experience mentoring junior engineers and influencing stakeholders.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Experience working on complex hardware systems such as automotive, consumer electronics, or similarly sophisticated products.

必須要件

  • Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, または関連分野の修士号(M.S.)
  • 実機ロボットプラットフォーム(例:移動ロボット、UR5 / Franka Emika / HSR などのマニピュレータ、ヒューマノイド等)を用いた豊富なハンズオン経験
  • ROS / ROS2 による実機制御の実務能力(フルスタックでの統合・デプロイまで含む)
  • C++ / Python による高いプログラミング力(プロダクションレベルの実装・システム統合が可能)
  • 多分野の研究・エンジニアリングチームにおいて、独立しても協働でも成果を出せる能力

歓迎要件

  • Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, または関連分野の博士号(Ph.D.)、または修士号+同等の業界/研究経験3年以上
  • トップティアのロボティクス会議・論文誌(RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, TRO, IJRR)での発表実績
  • 海外競技会(RoboCup@Home など)への参加・表彰経験
  • 自宅など実生活環境でサービスロボットを利用しながら実証実験を行う意志
  • 大規模なロボットデータ収集、またはフリート管理システムのリード/貢献経験
  • 学習・評価用途でのロボットシミュレータ(Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, PyBullet など)の利用経験
  • Sim2Real 転移や Vision-Language-Action(VLA)モデルを実機ロボットへ統合した経験

リーダーシップとその他

・若手エンジニアの指導や、ステークホルダーへの影響力を発揮したリーダーシップ経験

・多分野エンジニアリングチームをリードする能力

・自動車、コンシューマーエレクトロニクス、または同様に複雑なハードウェアシステムでの経験

    Benefits

    There 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.

    This 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.

    Furthermore, we strongly encourage engineers to actively build their careers through this project-for example, by publishing research papers and engaging in academic activities.

    世界に目を向けても、これほど大規模にデータ収集を行い、基盤モデルを開発しているプロジェクトは現在ほかにありません。前述の通り、これは日本を代表する国家プロジェクトの一つであり、NEDO から 205 億円という大規模な投資支援を受けています。

    このポジションは、プロジェクトの成否を左右する極めて重要な役割を担います。広い裁量と責任が与えられ、成功した暁には、大きな達成感と社会に対する実質的な貢献の機会を得られると確信しています。

    さらに、本プロジェクトを通じて、たとえば論文発表や学術活動への参加など、エンジニアが主体的にキャリアを築いていくことを強く推奨しています。
