Position Overview
As the Engineering Talent Acquisition Lead at the AI Robot Association (AIRoA), you will take the lead in hiring outstanding engineers from both Japan and overseas. You will develop a deep understanding of the roles required to build a robot data ecosystem and to develop foundation models for robots, and manage the entire end-to-end hiring process: defining requirements, drafting job descriptions, selecting channels (agencies, direct sourcing, job boards, etc.), screening, managing candidate and agency communications, coordinating offers and closing, and ensuring a smooth onboarding. In particular, for international engineers, you will also conduct interviews and communication in English, and coordinate internally and externally on visa-related matters to drive global engineering recruitment.
【業務内容】
AIロボット協会(AIRoA)のエンジニア採用担当として、国内外から優秀なエンジニアを採用する実務をリードしていただきます。ロボットデータエコシステム構築やロボット向け基盤モデル開発に必要なポジションを理解し、採用要件整理、求人票作成、チャネル選定(エージェント・ダイレクト・求人媒体など)、スクリーニング、候補者・エージェント対応、条件調整・クロージング、入社受け入れまで一気通貫で担当してください。特に、外国人エンジニアの採用においては、英語での面談・連絡、ビザ関連の社内外調整なども行いながら、グローバルなエンジニア採用を推進していただきます。
【What Makes the "Head of Engineering Recruitment" Role at AIRoA Unique】
AIRoA is an organization that aims to build an open, large-scale robot data ecosystem and develop and release foundation models for robots by integrating AI and robotics technologies across industries. Our mission is to accelerate the realization and social implementation of advanced robots in collaboration with researchers and companies around the world, and engineers are the driving force behind this mission.
In this role, you will work directly with top-class engineers in Japan and abroad, constantly thinking about "what kind of background and experience will best strengthen AIRoA's technical capabilities" as you drive recruitment forward. You will be able to clearly see how the performance of the engineers you recruit directly contributes to the competitiveness of AI robotics originating from Japan.
【AIRoAの「エンジニア採用責任者」の醍醐味】
AIRoAは、AIとロボット技術の融合により、産業の垣根を超えたオープンかつ大規模なロボットデータエコシステムと、ロボット向け基盤モデルの開発・公開を目指す組織です。世界中の研究者・企業と連携し、高度なロボットの実現と社会実装を加速させることをミッションとしており、その原動力となるのがエンジニアです。エンジニア採用担当は、国内外のトップクラスのエンジニアと向き合い、「どのようなバックグラウンドを持つ人がAIRoAの技術的な強みを伸ばせるのか」を考え抜きながら採用を進めます。自分が採用したメンバーの活躍が、そのまま日本発のAIロボティクスの競争力に直結していくことを実感できます。
【The Appeal of Taking on This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】
Leading Japanese companies participate as members, and university and research institute researchers are involved as board members and special advisors, as we work to build a truly global ecosystem. As the person responsible for engineering recruitment in this environment, you will have the opportunity to design, from scratch, the "blueprint" for hiring processes, communication, and onboarding that assume not only domestic hiring but also recruitment of international engineers. This is a unique opportunity available precisely because AIRoA is just beginning full-scale activities in FY2025.
【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】
日本を代表する企業が会員として参画し、大学・研究機関の研究者も理事・特別顧問として関わる、グローバルなエコシステムの構築を目指しています。エンジニア採用担当として、こうした環境の中で、国内採用だけでなく外国人エンジニア採用を前提とした選考フロー・コミュニケーション・オンボーディングの「型」をゼロから設計できるのは、2025年度より活動を本格化したAIRoAならではの醍醐味です。
【Other】
While remote work is possible, this role is primarily expected to be office-based.
Most of our engineers and researchers also work on-site, conducting research and development directly in front of the robots.【その他】
リモートワーク可ではありますが、原則として出社での勤務を想定しています。
エンジニアや研究者も多くは出社し、ロボットを前に研究開発に取り組んでいます。
【About AIRoA】
AIRoA was established in December 2024 with two core objectives: "to revolutionize the technology of robot development through the fusion of robots and AI" and "to promote the use of robots in society." While AI is rapidly advancing worldwide, the shortage of data in robot development has become a critical issue.
To address this challenge, we are running a national flagship project funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), with an investment of over JPY 20 billion.
【AIRoAの概要】
「ロボットとAIの融合によってロボット開発の技術を革新すること」「社会におけるロボットの活用を推進すること」AIRoAは2024年12月に設立された組織であり、この2つの目的を掲げています。今、世界中でAIが急速に発展する一方、ロボット開発ではデータ不足が深刻です。私たちはNEDO(国立研究開発法人 新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構)から200億円を超える出資による国家プロジェクトを進行しています。
●Recruitment Background
AIRoA is currently launching multiple R&D projects aimed at developing foundation models for robots and building a robot data ecosystem. To successfully execute these initiatives, we need engineers with diverse expertise, including machine learning, robotics, and systems development. Given the nature of our work, it is essential to hire not only domestic talent but also top global engineers from overseas.
At present, we are especially focused on strengthening our hiring of international engineers. With full-scale organizational expansion and deeper international collaboration on the horizon, we are now seeking a dedicated Engineering Recruiter who can professionally drive global engineering recruitment.
●募集背景
AIRoAでは、ロボット基盤モデルの開発やロボットデータエコシステム構築に向け、複数の研究開発プロジェクトが立ち上がっています。その遂行には、機械学習・ロボティクス・システム開発など多様な専門性を持つエンジニアが不可欠であり、国内人材だけでなく、海外のトップタレントの採用も前提となる状況です。現在特に強化したいのは、外国人エンジニア採用です。本格的な組織拡大と国際連携の強化を見据え、グローバルなエンジニア採用を専門的に推進できるエンジニア採用担当を採用します。
●Future Mission
Your immediate mission will be to successfully close our current engineering hiring needs. In particular, for international engineers, you will take the lead in: developing and expanding sourcing channels, designing interview processes in English, structuring and negotiating offer terms, and establishing an end-to-end onboarding process that includes visa support and relocation assistance.
In the mid to long term, your role will expand into a more strategic scope, including: designing our talent portfolio in line with the technical roadmap, and building strong relationships with overseas communities, universities, and research institutions.
Ultimately, your mission will be to lay the foundation for AIRoA to build an engineering organization capable of competing on a truly global stage.
●将来のミッション
現状のエンジニア採用案件を確実にクローズさせることがミッションです。特に外国人エンジニアに関しては、採用チャネルの開拓、英語面談の設計、オファー条件の設計・交渉、ビザ取得や来日時のサポートを含めたオンボーディングフローの確立をリードしていただきます。中長期的には、技術ロードマップと連動した人材ポートフォリオ設計、海外コミュニティや大学・研究機関とのリレーション構築など、より戦略的な役割へスコープを広げていただきます。AIRoAの「世界と戦えるエンジニア組織」の礎をつくることが、将来的なミッションです。
