Nara United World Inc ¥7,000,000 - ¥12,000,000 per year

Position : AI Engineer (Robotics・Edge AI)

Salary: ¥5M~12M

Location: Nara

This position is available only for people residing in Japan.

[Company Profile]

・The company is working to realize a "robot hand that thinks with its fingertips" by providing a "proximity sensor" developed by Keisuke Koyama, Assistant Professor at Osaka University's Graduate School of Engineering Science. Their proximity sensor is capable of advanced simultaneous measurement of distance and angle, and has evolved to the point where it can recognize both glass and mirrors.

・Overview of proximity sensors:

Proximity is a way of perceiving objects that differs from both sight and touch, and is considered a "sense not found in humans" because it is perceived without seeing or touching the object. The proximity sensor enables recognition of the shape of objects, including blind spots, as well as mirrored and transparent materials, through a unique sensing technology that simultaneously measures the position and shape of the object. Combined with the company's proprietary high-speed, high-precision AI technology, it enables flexible pickup according to the job site, which was considered difficult with conventional industrial robots, and also facilitates reduction of teaching burden.

[Background of recruitment]

・Due to business expansion

[Attractive points of company/work]

・In March 2024, the company closed its third round of funding, raising a total of 680 million yen including subsidies, and is moving toward mass production of proximity sensors and their introduction to society. They are looking for colleagues to join us at this time and accelerate the company's growth.

・The company has been selected for J-Startup KANSAI in 2023, won the JEITA Venture Award in 2024, the Robot Award Excellence Award in 2024, and was selected for Toyo Keizai's "Amazing Ventures 100" in 2024.

[Flexible work schedule / 125 days of annual holidays / Many business relationships with major companies / Online interviews available]

You will be responsible for AI development and improvement at their rapidly growing startup, a spin-off from Osaka University.

■Job Details

・Development and improvement of TK-01 edge AI

・Evaluation and testing

・Customer meetings related to development, etc.

■Hiring Background

Their company is working to realize "thinking robotic hands" through the provision of proximity sensors. In September 2023, they closed their seed round, raising a total of 230 million yen. Their product, the TK-01, utilizes proximity sensor technology and was launched on July 31, 2023. Going forward, they will continue to improve the product and develop new products. You will be responsible for developing the AI that forms the core of TK-01, contributing to further company growth.

■About the TK-01 Proximity Sensor

This sensor combines infrared and AI for unique high-speed, high-resolution sensing, enabling it to quickly and non-contactly determine the position and shape of objects without the use of a camera. This enables robotic hands to handle mirrored and transparent materials, which were previously difficult for industrial robots, and to flexibly pick items according to the on-site environment, dramatically expanding the possibilities for picking. Furthermore, by significantly reducing the time and effort required for teaching (the process of teaching a robot to perform a task), robotic hands are expected to be used in a variety of new fields.

■Organizational Structure

Their development center employs three people (all in their 30s, including the CTO).

Their small size allows us to work closely with top management and executives. As they anticipate future business growth, they plan to continue to hire and strengthen their organization.

■About the Company

Their company handles products that have attracted significant attention from the media and investors.

... You will be involved in product development that will bring about revolutionary advances in robotic manipulation and have great social significance.
