Robotics Engineer (SR)

Career Opportunity for a Robotics Engineer in Japan!

 

■ Robotics 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 

● Design and build scalable data collection systems operating across hundreds of humanoid and mobile robots

● Develop low-latency, semi-autonomous, and bilateral teleoperation systems that maximize controllability while minimizing operator workload

● Build automated pipelines for large-scale model deployment and rigorous evaluation in both simulation and real-world robotic platforms

● Collaborate closely with the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) team to integrate and deploy state-of-the-art models onto physical robots

● Engineer robust robotic software and hardware systems for reliable real-world operation

● Diagnose, debug, and optimize performance across perception, control, and system integration layers

● Translate research prototypes into scalable, production-grade engineering systems in collaboration with cross-functional teams

 

■ Experience and Qualifications

● M.S. or PhD in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 3+ years of relevant industry experience (or equivalent hands-on experience)

● Extensive hands-on experience with complex, high-DOF robotic systems, including bimanual mobile manipulators and humanoid robots operating in real-world environments.

● Strong experience controlling real robotic systems using ROS/ROS2, including full-stack system integration and deployment

● Solid understanding of teleoperation systems, AR/VR interfaces, and leader–follower control architectures

● Strong programming skills in C++ and Python, with the ability to write production-grade code and perform system-level integration

● Demonstrated ability to work effectively both independently and within multidisciplinary engineering teams

● Experience developing, validating, and deploying reliable robotic systems in production or field environments

 

■ Additional Preferred Qualifications

● Publications in top-tier robotics conferences or journals (e.g., TRO, IJRR, RSS, CoRL, ICRA)

● Experience taking complex robotic systems from prototype to production

● Practical experience with tactile sensing and contact-rich manipulation

● Experience contributing to large-scale robot data collection or fleet management systems

● Familiarity with robotic simulators such as Isaac Sim or MuJoCo for training and evaluation

● Experience integrating Sim2Real transfer methods or Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models onto real robotic systems

● Experience with CI/CD pipelines and system validation methodologies for robotics applications

● Experience building full-stack web applications (frontend and backend) for robotics data infrastructure, evaluation platforms, or fleet management systems
