Job Description
Career Opportunity for a Service Robot System Engineer in Japan!
■ Service Robot System Engineer
■ Company Overview
A research-driven organization at the intersection of AI and robotics, focused on advancing next-generation intelligent systems through cutting-edge research and real-world applications.
■ Your Role and Responsibilities
● 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.
■ Experience and 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.
■ Additional 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.
■ Good Reasons to Join
● Be part of a research-first environment
