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

AIRoA is a non-profit 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. The challenges we tackle are societal in nature, and the projects we run can be described as "national-level" initiatives that seek transformation through the realization of general-purpose robots.

In this role, you will work right next to the front lines of research and development, creating HR structures and processes that allow people to focus on experiments and product development. There is real satisfaction in building a system that lets cutting-edge researchers and engineers fully concentrate on advancing AI and robotics.

【AIRoAの「人事担当」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・公開を目指す非営利団体です。向き合っているのは社会課題であり、汎用ロボットの実現を通じた変革を狙う"国家級"の挑戦とも言えるプロジェクトを人・組織の面から支えます。研究開発の最前線のすぐそばで、人事の仕組みを整えることで、「実験や開発に集中できる体制」をつくる醍醐味があります。

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

Founded in December 2024 with a mission to build a robot data ecosystem and entering full-scale operation in FY2025, AIRoA is very much in its launch phase. Major corporations and startups participate as full members, together with universities and research institutions, forming a truly unique and rarely seen ecosystem.

Within this context, there is still significant room to enhance our HR systems, labor workflows, and evaluation operations. As an HR Specialist, you will listen closely to voices from the field and translate them into clear policies and processes, step by step. You will have the opportunity to design from scratch what "good HR practice" should look like for this association, turning it into the natural standard for AIRoA.

【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、立ち上げフェーズの組織です。大手企業やスタートアップなどが正会員として参画し、大学・研究機関も含めた前例の少ないエコシステムを形成しています。その中で人事制度・労務フロー・評価運用はまだまだ向上していける余地があります。人事担当として、現場の声を聞きながら、制度や運用ルールを一つひとつ言語化・仕組み化し、「協会にふさわしい人事の当たり前」を自らデザインしていけます。

【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

At AIRoA, multiple initiatives are progressing in parallel, including the collection and integration of robot operation data, the development of robot foundation models, and joint projects with member companies. As a result, a diverse range of talent—researchers, engineers, business professionals, and back-office staff—are joining the organization, and both our organizational size and ways of working are rapidly expanding.

Looking ahead to further growth, it has become essential to have a dedicated specialist role focused on HR and labor management. We are therefore seeking an HR Specialist who will work with us to build and operate the HR foundation that supports AIRoA's continued development.

●募集背景

AIRoAでは、ロボット稼働データの収集・統合やロボット基盤モデル開発、会員企業との共同プロジェクトなど、複数の取り組みが同時並行で動いています。それに伴い、研究者・エンジニア・ビジネス職・事務局メンバーなど多様な人材が参画し、組織規模と働き方のバリエーションが急速に広がっています。今後の拡大を見据えると、人事・労務を専門的に担う専任ポジションが不可欠です。そこで、人事基盤の構築と運用を共に担っていただける人事担当を募集します。

●Future Mission

After joining AIRoA, you will first be responsible for steadily running day-to-day operations such as attendance and labor management, onboarding and offboarding procedures, and acting as the secretariat for performance evaluation processes, while also reviewing and standardizing existing workflows.

In the mid to long term, your role is expected to evolve toward more planning and system-design responsibilities—for example, proposing updates to HR policies based on changes in work styles and workforce composition, planning initiatives to improve well-being and the overall work environment, and using HR data to detect risks and recommend improvements.

Working closely with the recruitment team, your ultimate mission as an HR Specialist at AIRoA will be to help create an environment where the people we hire can continue to perform at their best over the long term.

●将来のミッション

入社後は勤怠・労務・入退社手続き・評価運用事務局などの日々のオペレーションを安定的に回しつつ、既存フローの見直し・標準化に取り組んでいただきます。中長期的には、働き方や人員構成の変化を踏まえた制度改定提案、ウェルビーイング向上や働きやすさに関する施策企画、人事データを活用したリスク検知・改善提案など、より企画・仕組みづくり寄りの役割へ広げていく想定です。採用担当と連携しながら、「採用した人が長く力を発揮できる環境」をつくることが、AIRoAの人事担当に期待される将来的なミッションです。
