Jobs at AIRoA (AI Robot Association)

Integrate, validate, and deploy ROS/ROS2-based robot software and data interfaces on humanoid and mobile robots. Design state management, mode switching, and system interfaces for safe real-robot operation; run integration tests in simulation and on hardware; debug perception, control, and system layers; and collaborate to transition research prototypes to reproducible platforms.

Lead launch and operation of a membership community for large corporations: design membership structure, recruit and onboard enterprise members, run engagement initiatives and events, manage community tools, and track KPIs to drive growth and retention.

Design, implement, and improve teleoperation and real-robot control systems (ROS/ROS2) for humanoid, mobile manipulator, and service robots. Build control modules, state management, safety stops, sensor synchronization, and actuator interfaces; improve demonstration data collection and quality for imitation learning; debug low-latency communication and control issues; and collaborate with Autonomy, VLA, Simulation, Integration, and Hardware teams for system integration and real-world evaluation.

Design, implement, and improve teleoperation systems for humanoid and mobile robots; establish high-quality demonstration and logging workflows for imitation learning; collaborate across Autonomy, VLA, Simulation, Integration, and Hardware teams; analyze and reproduce real-robot issues related to low-latency communication, control cycles, sensor sync, failures, and recovery, then implement fixes and verification.

Design, implement, and tune low-level actuator firmware (FOC, dq-based current/torque loops, velocity/position control), bring up motor-control boards and sensors, implement safety mechanisms, build calibration/logging pipelines, integrate CAN FD/EtherCAT, and validate/tune control performance on humanoid and dual-arm robots.

Deploy, commission, and manage on-site humanoid robots; diagnose and triage hardware/software/network faults; perform log analysis and RCA; recommend quality and maintainability improvements; and standardize deployment, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures.

Build and maintain teleoperation systems, low-latency audio/video streaming, operator UIs, and web interfaces to manage data pipelines. Implement APIs, configuration-management, secure authentication, and dashboards; collaborate with VLA and Data/ML teams to ensure high-quality, seamless data ingestion for large-scale robot datasets.

Lead and build AIRoA’s operational foundation: support board and committee operations, design governance and internal rules, manage budgets/contracts and back-office functions, coordinate member communications and events, and implement systems to scale secretariat operations.

Manage back-office operations including meeting coordination, minutes, event secretariat, contract and document management, office/assets management, payments and budgeting. Standardize workflows and support governance while collaborating across teams to build AIRoA's operational infrastructure.

Support internal and external communications, PR, event planning, HR/admin tasks, and cross‑division coordination. Rotate across divisions to enable organizational engagement and drive AI×robotics outreach.

Lead end-to-end engineering recruitment for AIRoA, hiring domestic and international engineers. Define requirements, manage sourcing, screening, offers, English interviews, and visa/relocation coordination. Build hiring processes, talent pipelines, and university/community relationships to support global R&D expansion.

As a Robotics Engineer Intern, you'll design data collection systems for humanoid robots, develop control systems, and work on machine learning models while collaborating closely with a team on complex robotic systems.

Lead end-to-end recruitment for business roles (strategy, PR, HR, general affairs, internal IT) at AIRoA: headcount planning, direct sourcing, agency management, selection-process design and operation, offer design/closing, and alignment with project leaders to build teams that support robot data ecosystem and foundation-model initiatives.

Lead and operate the Information Systems Department to build and maintain internal IT infrastructure (network, storage, servers, virtualization, containers, security), provide helpdesk support, coordinate with vendors/subcontractors, produce network diagrams and NEDO reports, and ensure reliable development environments for a large national AI robotics project.

Provide legal support for AIRoA projects and operations: draft and review contracts, design contract schemes, create regulations and IP/data handling rules, advise on NEDO/public contracts, and support corporate governance, compliance, and risk management for a general incorporated association.

Operate day-to-day HR and labor processes (attendance, onboarding/offboarding, social insurance), maintain HR policies, support performance evaluations, manage compensation/grade data, and act as first contact for harassment and compliance inquiries while improving HR systems and processes.

Lead AIRoA's global recruitment: design and execute hiring strategy, manage full-cycle recruiting, direct sourcing (BizReach/LinkedIn), run recruitment events, strengthen employer branding, and coordinate hiring policies with HR and labor teams.

Perform day-to-day accounting through monthly and annual closings: journal entries, invoicing/payments, cash management, AR/AP, tax/auditor coordination, project P&L, budgeting, and building accounting workflows and internal controls.

Design, build, and operate cloud and on-prem infrastructure to provide GPU clusters, large-scale data platforms, and developer tooling as services. Optimize availability, performance, and security from an SRE perspective, lead incident response, improve operational processes, and drive mid-to-long-term infrastructure architecture and governance for robot foundation model R&D.

Develop and improve Vision-Language models for robotics, build training pipelines, conduct error analyses, and establish infrastructure for model deployment.
