The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) is a general incorporated association established at the end of 2024 to promote the development of foundation models aimed at achieving the social implementation of AI robots.
The association’s goal is to receive a total investment of 20.5 billion yen from NEDO by 2029, build a robust foundation model, and expand its applications globally.
一般社団法人AIロボット協会(AIRoA)は、AIロボットの社会実装を目指し、基盤モデルの開発を推進するため、2024年末に設立されました。
当協会では、2029年までにNEDOから総額205億円の投資を受け、基盤モデルを構築し、世界に展開していくことを目標としています。
BackgroundStarting this fiscal year, AIRoA will officially begin a large-scale, four-year national project.
To ensure the smooth progress of this initiative—including the establishment of a reliable development environment—the Information Systems Department will play a crucial role.
Currently, operations are being carried out with the support of external partners, but we are now forming an internal team of full-time employees and are seeking a Head of Information Systems to lead it.
募集背景今年度より本格的に始まる4年間の大型プロジェクトを円滑に進めるため、開発環境の整備含め情報システム部は要となります。

Benefits●Career Opportunities
Globally, there are few projects that collect data on such a large scale and develop foundation models, and as mentioned above, significant funding has been provided by NEDO. This is one of Japan’s leading national projects.
This role offers a rare opportunity to engage directly, from the inside, at the core of a large-scale national project. It will allow you to gain unique experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere. In addition, there will be many opportunities to collaborate with supporting member companies and startups, providing an environment where you can explore diverse career opportunities both inside and outside the association.
