By developing and supporting the implementation and operation of robotics platforms and robot solutions utilizing the world’s most advanced control and coordination technologies, we strive to realize this vision.\nIn this position, you will be working with our mechatronics teams in Tokyo to design, validate, and support the electronics of our ASRS product (robots, elevators, battery exchange cabinets, and Guardian) and of our AMR products. You will be our senior electronics engineer on the ground in Japan, where our prototypes, manufacturing partners, test lab, and customer sites are, working with our engineers in India and China. The role is hands-on first: much of your time is at the bench, with partners, and on-site.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDesign and own PCBAs for the robot, elevator, battery exchange cabinet and Guardian: schematics, layout review, BOM and release documents. \nAssemble, rework, bring up and validate prototypes in Tokyo: power, ESD/EMC pre-tests, thermal and functional tests, with written test reports. \nSupport Japanese manufacturing partners and supply chain: design handover, inspection and test fixtures, first-article checks, alternatives for end-of-life or long-lead parts. \nBe our escalation engineer in Japan for electronics issues at Japanese customer sites: analyse boards returned from the field, lead root-cause analysis and drive corrective actions with the designer or the manufacturer to closure. \nDesign, build and maintain test jigs and fixtures for production and field returns. \nContribute to the next-generation robot electronics (motor control, power, battery) together with our engineering teams in India and China, and review their designs for manufacturability and field reliability. \nDepending on the team you join: electronics and electrical work on our AMR, autonomous forklift (AFL) and ASRS elevator, including wiring, harnesses and power distribution. \nRequirements\nMinimum Qualifications:\n7+ years designing electronic hardware that went to mass production, in robotics, automotive, industrial automation or similar. \nSolid analog, digital and power design: DC/DC conversion, battery and charging circuits, BLDC/PMSM motor drive, protection (ESD, surge, reverse polarity). \nMicrocontroller-based designs and interfaces: GPIO, PWM, ADC, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN. \nSchematic and layout tools (KiCad, Altium Designer or equivalent), oscilloscope, logic analyzer, electronic load, soldering and rework. \nB.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent. \nBusiness-level English. \nPreferred Qualifications:\nEMC/ESD design and pre-compliance testing (IEC 61000-4-2, CE, FCC). \nDesign transfer to contract manufacturers (DFM, DFT, test fixtures); lithium-ion battery pack or BMS experience. \nElectrical design: wiring and harness design, power distribution, control panels (most useful for AMR work). \nPython or scripting for test automation. \nConversational Japanese\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation package\nGlobally diverse workplace\nExposure to cutting-edge robotics technology\nVisa sponsorship\nRelocation support\nCommuting allowance\nFlexible working hours and dress code policy\nJapanese Social Security (Health Insurance, Pension, Employment Insurance)","description_format":"text","description_chars":3416,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Japanese","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Warehousing","Logistics & Warehouse Robotics","Robotic Software & Control Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T11:10:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":203,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T16:06:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23199,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3710},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3710"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frapyuta-robotics-senior-electronics-engineer-robotics"}]}
