Benefits

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。

What You Will Gain

Direct experience working on large-scale humanoid robotic systems in real-world environments

Exposure to foundation model deployment for embodied AI

Systems-level engineering experience spanning hardware, control, AI models, and infrastructure

The opportunity to contribute meaningfully to one of Japan’s most ambitious robotics initiatives

実環境における大規模ヒューマノイドロボットシステム開発の実務経験

embodied AI 向け基盤モデルのデプロイに関する知見と経験

ハードウェア、制御、AI モデル、インフラにまたがるシステムレベルのエンジニアリング経験

日本で最も意欲的なロボティクスプロジェクトの一つに、実質的に貢献できる機会
