Ota-ku AI Robot Association

Position Overview


As an Infrastructure Specialist supporting AI × robot foundation model development at AIRoA, you will be responsible for the design, construction, and operation of our infrastructure (cloud platforms, on-premise environments, etc.). You will provide GPU clusters, large-scale data platforms, and developer tooling as "services," creating an environment in which researchers and engineers can run experiments and develop products with minimal friction. In addition to optimizing availability, performance, and security from an SRE perspective, you will also take the lead in incident response and continuous improvement of operational processes.

【業務内容】

AI×ロボット基盤モデル開発を支えるインフラ担当として、インフラ(クラウド基盤、オンプレなど)の設計・構築・運用をお任せします。GPUクラスターや大規模データ基盤、開発者向けツール群を「サービス」として提供し、研究者・エンジニアがストレスなく実験・開発できる環境を整備します。SRE的な視点での可用性・パフォーマンス・セキュリティの最適化に加え、障害対応や運用プロセス改善もリードしていただきます。

【What Makes the "Infrastructure Specialist" Role at AIRoA Unique】

AIRoA is a national-level project that aims to develop world-class robot foundation models by leveraging massive datasets and real-world robots. The infrastructure you build and operate will form the backbone of a "robot data ecosystem" used by researchers and developers around the globe.

In this high-load environment—where large-scale data processing and training jobs run in parallel—you will be able to fully leverage your experience as an SRE or cloud architect while contributing directly to cutting-edge R&D that connects straight to real-world deployment.

【AIRoAの「インフラ担当」の醍醐味】

AIRoAは、膨大なデータやロボットなどを活用して、世界トップクラスのロボット向け基盤モデルの開発を目指す国家級プロジェクトです。その根幹を支えるインフラは、「世界中の研究者・開発者が利用するロボットデータエコシステム」の土台となる存在です。大規模データ処理と学習ジョブが並行する高負荷な環境で、SREやクラウドアーキテクトとしての経験を存分に活かしながら、社会実装に直結する最前線の研究開発に挑戦できます。

【The Appeal of Taking On This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】

Established in December 2024 with a mission to build a robot data ecosystem and ramping up full-scale activities in FY2025, AIRoA is very much in its launch phase. Leading Japanese companies and research institutions participate as members, forming a unique ecosystem.

We are now in the phase of designing and implementing what will become our "standard" infrastructure architecture, operational processes, and SLOs/SLAs. This role offers the opportunity to design ML infrastructure and robot AI platforms to global standards and to translate your own view of best practices into real systems and operations.

【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】

AIRoAは、ロボットデータエコシステム構築を掲げて2024年12月に設立され、2025年度から活動を本格化させた、まさに立ち上げフェーズの組織です。日本を代表する企業・研究機関が会員として参画し、ユニークなエコシステムを形成しています。インフラアーキテクチャや運用プロセス、SLO・SLAといった"当たり前"は、今まさに構築しているフェーズです。グローバル水準のMLインフラ/ロボットAI基盤の形を設計し、自分の考えるベストプラクティスを実装に落とし込めるのが魅力です。

【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 has launched large-scale R&D projects, including the development of robot foundation models. To support these initiatives, we have adopted a high-performance GPU cloud and are building a full-fledged environment for training and experimentation.

Looking ahead to further growth in the number of projects, the volume of data, and the users of our platforms, it has become essential to have a dedicated specialist who can take ownership of our infrastructure and successfully balance "stable operations," "scalability," and "security."

●募集背景


AIRoAはロボット基盤モデルの開発など、大規模な研究開発プロジェクトがスタートしています。それらを支える基盤として、高性能GPUクラウドを採用し、本格的な学習・実験環境の整備を進めています。今後、プロジェクト数・データ量・利用ユーザーが増加することを見据えると、インフラを専門的にリードし、「安定稼働」と「スケーラビリティ」「セキュリティ」を両立できる専任ポジションが欠かせません。

●Future Mission


You will take ownership of understanding the configuration of our cloud platform, storage, network, and authentication infrastructure, and drive both their enhancement and the establishment of robust operational structures.

In the mid to long term, you will lead the design of infrastructure architecture aligned with the roadmap for our robot foundation models and data ecosystem, as well as the advancement of our security and governance frameworks. Your mission is to provide infrastructure that is highly usable and reliable for researchers and engineers.

●将来のミッション


クラウド基盤やストレージ・ネットワーク・認証基盤の構成を把握し、強化や運用体制の整備を推進していただきます。中長期的には、ロボット基盤モデルやデータエコシステムのロードマップと連動したインフラアーキテクチャの設計やセキュリティ・ガバナンスの高度化などを進め、研究者・エンジニアにとって使いやすいインフラの提供をリードしてください。
