Description
Career Opportunity for Research Scientist (Robotics) Role in Japan!
■ Research Scientist
■ 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 and building scalable data collection systems that operate across hundreds of humanoid and mobile robots.
● Developing semi-autonomous teleoperation systems that ensure low latency, high controllability, and minimal operator workload.
● Creating automated pipelines to deploy trained models and rigorously evaluate them in both simulation and real-world robotic platforms.
● Working closely with the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) team to seamlessly integrate and deploy cutting-edge models onto physical robots.
■ Experience and 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.
● Extensive hands-on experience with physical robotic platforms (e.g., mobile robots, manipulators such as UR5, Franka Emika, HSR, or humanoids like Spot).
● Demonstrated ability to control real robots using ROS / ROS2, including full-stack integration and deployment.
● Solid understanding and implementation experience in teleoperation, AR/VR interfaces, and leader–follower architectures.
● Strong programming proficiency in C++ and Python, with 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
● Publication record in top-tier robotics conferences or journals (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, TRO, IJRR).
● Publications limited to CVPR, ICCV, or NeurIPS could be considered AI-centric and scored lower for this position.
■ Good Reasons to Join
● Be part of a research-first environment
■ Work Location
Tokyo, Japan
Details will be provided during the meeting.
