Robotics Systems Engineer
Rapyuta Robotics
Our Tokyo Engineering team is evolving rapidly to address the increasing demands of our customers-from managing a few robots to coordinating hundreds: from operating a small team to structuring multiple collaborative squads. We work closely with leading enterprise customers in Japan to deliver advanced robotics solutions, leveraging rapyuta.io, our cutting-edge cloud robotics platform, and the broader ecosystem. The team's mission is to create pioneering, scalable, and robust robotics systems.
The Systems Engineer will bridge robotics engineers, QA engineers, and Deployment engineers, ensuring seamless integration of robotics software and infrastructure.
The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment and enjoys working directly with state-of-the-art robotics systems and platforms.
The Systems team owns a broad set of responsibilities that collectively support deployment, validation, and long-term reliability of robotic systems. Team members are expected to contribute to one or more of these areas, collaborate closely with peers, and help the team achieve its shared objectives.
The responsibilities below describe the scope of work handled by the team as a whole.
Deployment Tooling & System Configuration
- Build and maintain deployment automation and reusable deployment pipelines.
- Improve standardization and repeatability of deployments across environments.
- Design and maintain system configuration tooling for validation and consistency.
