Founded in 2020 as a joint venture between Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and TIER IV, Inc., we combine the all-terrain capability of EV golf cars with autonomous driving technology to automate material transport at factories and logistics warehouses.\nBeyond the vehicles themselves, we deliver a packaged RaaS (Robotics as a Service) offering that includes deployment support, a fleet management system, maintenance, and insurance. We are now in a rapid growth phase, preparing to expand to several hundred sites across Japan and overseas.\nVision | Bring color to every kind of work\n\"Empowering the hands of people who work.\" We will build a world where everyone can lead a richer, more enjoyable life filled with joy.\nMission | eve autonomy updates how things are moved in the workplace\nSimpler, safer, smarter. We will create a world where moving things gets a little easier than it was yesterday.\nValues | Guiding principle: \"Lead with care\"\nAct with integrity / Own it / Be an explorer / Be the starting point / Carry the load / Be the protagonist\nRole Overview\nYou will own the autonomous driving system (primarily C++) running on our mass-produced, in-service autonomous transport EVs, from feature development through field evaluation and defect analysis. Your code will run on real vehicles at customer sites, so you will see firsthand how your work changes the way things are moved.\nYou will join a Tokyo-based development team made up mainly of international members. The team works in English, and Japanese is not required. Rather than staying in one narrow area, you will grow as a robotics engineer by rotating across domains within the team, with a focus on perception and localization.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and develop autonomous driving software features to meet customer requirements (focus on perception and localization, also covering planning and control; areas rotate within the team)\nImplement and optimize software modules, primarily in C++, for real-time performance and stability\nBuild the autonomous driving software and maintain CI/CD and test environments\nRun driving evaluations on our test field and at customer sites; analyze logs to identify and fix root causes of defects\nCollaborate with other teams, including fleet management, vehicle control, and customer-facing teams\nDevelopment Environment (examples)\n\nCategory\n\nDetails\n\nLanguages\n\nC++ (required), Python\n\nOS\n\nLinux (Ubuntu)\n\nTools\n\nGit, GitHub, CI/CD, simulators\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n3+ years of professional software development experience in C++\nExperience developing and operating software on Linux\nExperience with team development using Git\nAbility to communicate in English at work (Japanese not required)\nCurrently residing in Japan with a valid work visa\nExperience in languages other than C++ is welcome but not required. Bring whatever you know, whether Python, Rust, Go, or others.\nNice to Have\nDevelopment experience in perception or localization\nDevelopment experience in path planning or vehicle control\nExperience with embedded or real-time systems, operating systems, or middleware\nExperience developing industrial-grade robots, AGVs/AMRs, or automotive software\nDesign experience in modern C++ (C++14/17 or later), including multithreading and performance tuning\nExperience building CI/CD pipelines, test automation, or simulation environments\nExperience with on-vehicle or field testing and defect analysis\nKnowledge of functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, etc.)\nJapanese communication skills\nWho We Are Looking For\nWe're looking for engineers who share our guiding principle, \"Lead with care,\" and bring it to life through their engineering.\n\nValue\n\nWhat it looks like as an engineer\n\nAct with integrity\n\nYou treat safety-critical software with integrity and make decisions based on quality and facts\n\nOwn it\n\nYou take field issues personally and see them through from root-cause analysis to fix\n\nBe an explorer\n\nYou learn from hands-on vehicle and field work and enjoy picking up new technologies and OSS trends\n\nBe the starting point\n\nYou don't wait for instructions; you spot problems and drive improvements yourself\n\nCarry the load\n\nYou take on the unglamorous work, such as evaluations and build maintenance, to help the team succeed\n\nBe the protagonist\n\nYou take pride in the code you write and stay focused on the product and our customers\n\nWe also welcome people who listen humbly to others while acting autonomously, and who are motivated to solve real problems in logistics and autonomous material transport.\nWhy Join Us\nAt the forefront of real-world deployment: Not lab research. You'll develop vehicles already running at customer sites as Japan's first Level 4 autonomous transport service.\nGrow as a robotics engineer: Build broad experience across perception, localization, planning, and control.\nGrow as a C++ engineer: Sharpen advanced C++ design and implementation skills on software that demands real-time performance and safety.\nFrom software to real vehicles, end to end: Go beyond writing code and take part in evaluation on real vehicles and deployment at customer sites.\nEnglish-speaking team: Work with international teammates and focus on your expertise, regardless of your Japanese level.\nReal ownership in a high-growth phase: Shape both the product and the organization as we scale to hundreds of sites in Japan and expand overseas.\nFlexible work style: Hybrid work with flextime and remote work, based in either Tokyo or Shizuoka.\nEmployment Details\n\nEmployment type\n\nFull-time, permanent\n\nSalary\n\nJPY 4.5M-8M per year (based on experience and skills)\n\nPay structure\n\nAnnual salary paid monthly.
