Robotics Software Engineer - Localization & Perception
Location: Koto City, Tokyo, Japan
Department: Engineering
Workplace: on_site
Employment Type: full
Description
We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer who excels in localization, SLAM, and perception-driven robotics. You will design, build, and optimize algorithms that let our robots understand where they are and what surrounds them—then deliver those capabilities in production-grade ROS/Docker environments. If you thrive on turning cutting-edge research into reliable, real-world performance, we’d love to meet you.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and refine localization & SLAM pipelines for mobile and stationary robots.
- Build perception modules for 3-D point-cloud processing, object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion.
- Integrate, test, and release software in ROS with Docker-based CI/CD.
- Profile, debug, and tune performance on CPU / GPU hardware for real-time operation.
- Work with mechanical, firmware, and product teams to ship robust, scalable solutions.
- Own features end-to-end—from architecture through field validations.
- Track emerging research; propose and prototype improvements to keep us at the state of the art.
Requirements
Minimum skills:
- 3 + years delivering localization and SLAM in production robots.
- Deep knowledge of perception libraries (PCL or equivalent), classical & ML-based detection/tracking, and multi-sensor data fusion.
- Expert C++ and solid Python; strong grasp of software design patterns, testing, and code review.
- Hands-on ROS 1 / 2, Docker, and automated build / deploy pipelines.
- Demonstrated success bringing robots from lab to field.
Preferred skills:
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or related discipline.
- GPU programming (CUDA, TensorRT) and real-time optimization.
- Embedded or hardware-level integration experience.
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Working with exceptionally talented and diverse team
- Visa and relocation support
