Job Description

Career Opportunity for a Robotics Software Engineer in Japan! 

■ Robotics Software Engineer

■ Company Overview

We combine AI and conversation design expertise, provides brands the ability to easily create and integrate automated chat experiences, transforming post, story, or ad into personalized interactive experiences.  

■ Your Role and Responsibilities 

●Design and build the on-robot runtime: ROS 2 nodes, task orchestration/state machines, safety guards, and recovery behaviors

●Serve learned policies on-robot and at the edge (policy servers, streaming inference, latency budgets on Jetson-class hardware)

●Integrate subsystems into one working robot: manipulation policies (Zen), navigation/SLAM, voice interaction, fleet telemetry

●Own deployment and operations tooling: containerized builds, system services, OTA updates, remote debugging of field robots

●Build the observability layer: structured logging, telemetry ingestion, incident triage for deployed robots

●Work with FDEs to turn field failures into runtime fixes and with the Data Platform team to capture every run as training data

■ Experience and Qualifications

●5+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years shipping software that ran on physical robots or embedded/edge systems in production

●Strong modern C++ and Python

●Production ROS / ROS 2 experience on Linux (real robots, not only simulation)

●Real-time thinking: latency budgets, lock-free queues where needed, graceful degradation, watchdogs

●Docker, Git, CI/CD as daily tools; comfort debugging a robot over SSH in the field

●Working English (team documentation is in English); Japanese is a plus for field work

■ Additional Preferred Qualifications
●On-device ML inference (TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, GPU serving) and Jetson/edge optimization

●Experience integrating learned policies (VLA/BC) into control stacks

●Fleet management, OTA update systems, or remote operations tooling

●Voice/multimodal interaction pipelines

●Safety frameworks for robots operating around people

Why This Role

●OS is where the whole company converges: your code decides whether hardware (D1) plus intelligence equals a robot a hospital can rely on.

●Field feedback in days: robots you deploy run real shifts at real customer sites in Japan.

■ Good Reasons to Join

● English speaking position

● Work with International team members

■ Work Location

Tokyo, Japan
