Position Overview

AIRoA is a fast-growing organization now in its second year. We offer an environment where you can actively take on both hands-on operational work and high-ownership responsibilities. You are also encouraged to initiate new projects and build new mechanisms yourself—one of the defining features of AIRoA as "an organization where you can turn what you want to do into reality."

Through strategy planning, execution of initiatives, and partnering with teams to drive behavioral change on the ground, you will help continuously elevate our organizational performance.

Below are example responsibilities in each division:

[Administration Division]

• Support for recruitment activities and HR operations
• Planning and operation of internal events and all-hands meetings
• Office environment improvement, upkeep, and equipment management
• General back-office operations related to organizational management

[Communications Division]

• Support for PR activities (handling interviews, updating SNS and website, basic design support)
• Planning and operation of external events and conferences; visitor reception
• Supporting external messaging and media interviews

[Strategy Division]

• Operational support, research, and document preparation for various projects
• Coordination and meeting support with contractors and member companies

[Development Division]

• Administrative support for the development team (task management, environment setup)
• Supporting efficiency improvements in development operations and documentation management
• Support and preparation for AI×Robot exhibitions and events, including those held overseas

What makes the "Communications Activator" role at AIRoA unique

On the front lines of robotics × AI, you will act as a hub connecting researchers and engineers with companies and students, moving people and ideas through events and information dissemination. You can experience firsthand the impact of your initiatives contributing to the next steps of a national-level project, while growing alongside the energy and excitement of the field.

The appeal of taking on this challenge at AIRoA, a newly launched organization

As a newly established organization, AIRoA is still in the process of shaping its culture and ways of working while driving robotics × AI projects forward. This is a phase where you can experiment with "what kinds of spaces and mechanisms excite people" and literally help shape the atmosphere of the organization itself.

【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.

【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.

●Recruitment Background

Your role will be that of a "Communications Activator," energizing the organization from within. Your mission is to communicate, connect, and amplify AIRoA's vision, activities, and culture both inside and outside the organization.

You will serve as a driving force for organizational communication, supporting the creation of a new ecosystem in the AI × robotics field. Acting as a connector across divisions, people, and stakeholders, you will play a key role in activating communication throughout AIRoA as a whole.

●Future Mission

In your first 1–2 years, you will be assigned to the Administration Division and rotate across different functions on a quarterly to semiannual basis to deepen your understanding of the organization. After that, you will move into a more specialized area based on your interests, aptitude, and organizational needs.

Example career paths:

• Administration Division: HR, General Affairs, Accounting, IT Systems, Corporate Communications
• Strategy Division: Business Development, Project Management
• Communications Division: Brand / PR, Event Planning
• Development Division: Development Support, Research Coordination

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong communication skills (able to understand others' perspectives and communicate clearly)
• Proactive and curious mindset (willing to take on new challenges and learn independently)
• Collaborative and team-oriented (able to work with members from diverse backgrounds)
• Global mindset and language skills (business-level Japanese and English required)

A global stage where diverse experience can shine

AIRoA is driving the development of AI × robotics foundation models and the creation of a robot data ecosystem where data is openly shared. In other words, we are building an international technology platform that developers around the world can participate in.

For this reason, we see strong language skills (especially English) and international experience as essential strengths for this role.

●Our Office

We currently operate out of a spacious office and research facility of over 1,000 m² located in the Ryutsu Center area. In this space, our business teams and engineering teams work in close collaboration, advancing both day-to-day operations and R&D with AI robots always close at hand. The facility is frequently visited not only by members of the AI Robot Association, but also by engineers and researchers from partner companies and representatives from member companies. As a result, it serves as a hub where diverse experts at the forefront of AI and robotics gather and interact.

●Your Colleagues

Today, highly skilled engineers and researchers from around the world are part of our organization. Some members have even relocated from overseas to Japan to join our projects on site. We aim to build a globally open R&D organization where diverse talent, regardless of nationality or background, come together, inspire one another, and shape the future.
