  • 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.

Leadership & Other Qualifications

  • Leadership experience mentoring junior engineers and influencing stakeholders.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Experience working on complex hardware systems such as automotive, consumer electronics, or similarly sophisticated products.

必須要件

Benefits

There are currently no comparable projects in the world that collect data and develop foundation models on such a large scale. As mentioned above, this is one of Japan’s leading national projects, supported by a substantial investment of 20.5 billion yen from NEDO.

This position will play a crucial role in determining the success of the project. You will have broad discretion and responsibility, and we are confident that, if successful, you will gain both a great sense of achievement and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to society.

Furthermore, we strongly encourage engineers to actively build their careers through this project—for example, by publishing research papers and engaging in academic activities.

世界に目を向けても、これほど大規模にデータ収集を行い、基盤モデルを開発しているプロジェクトは現在ほかにありません。前述の通り、これは日本を代表する国家プロジェクトの一つであり、NEDO から 205 億円という大規模な投資支援を受けています。

このポジションは、プロジェクトの成否を左右する極めて重要な役割を担います。広い裁量と責任が与えられ、成功した暁には、大きな達成感と社会に対する実質的な貢献の機会を得られると確信しています。

さらに、本プロジェクトを通じて、たとえば論文発表や学術活動への参加など、エンジニアが主体的にキャリアを築いていくことを強く推奨しています。

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
