About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, electronics, control engineering, robotics, mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Hands-on experience in electrical design, wiring design, or embedded electrical system design for robots, industrial machinery, factory automation equipment, mobility systems, precision equipment, medical devices, automobiles, or related products.
  • Practical experience selecting and integrating at least one of the following: sensors, actuators, motors, motor drivers, control boards, power supplies, or communication devices.
  • Experience creating or reviewing wiring diagrams, harness drawings, electrical layouts, bills of materials, or related documentation.
  • Hands-on experience evaluating and troubleshooting electrical systems using tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and regulated power supplies.
  • Experience participating in the design, assembly, evaluation, debugging, and improvement of prototype or research-and-development-phase hardware.
  • Experience collaborating with mechanical, control, and software engineers to build and validate physical systems.
  • Business-level Japanese proficiency, equivalent to JLPT N2 or above.

Responsibilities

  • Design electrical and wiring systems for humanoid robots, dual-arm robots, robotic hands, and teleoperation systems.
  • Select and integrate sensors, actuators, motor drivers, control boards, power supplies, and communication systems.
  • Design internal robot wiring, harnesses, connector selection, and electrical layout.
  • Design power and safety systems, including batteries, power distribution, protection circuits, emergency stops, and safety mechanisms.
  • Electrically integrate motors, encoders, inertial measurement units, force/torque sensors, tactile sensors, cameras, and related components.
  • Assemble, wire, debug, evaluate, and perform failure analysis for prototypes and research robots.
  • Improve the operational stability of robot hardware in experimental and data collection environments.
  • Analyze and resolve issues related to noise, heat generation, voltage drops, communication instability, poor contact, and cable disconnection.
  • Create and update electrical design specifications, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, inspection procedures, and evaluation reports.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical engineers, robotics engineers, artificial intelligence/software engineers, and researchers.
  • Communicate technically with external manufacturers, suppliers, fabrication partners, and member companies.
  • Improve designs with future scalability in mind, including maintainability and reproducibility.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience developing humanoid robots, dual-arm robots, robotic hands, mobile robots, collaborative robots, or related robotic systems.
  • Experience in electrical system design for high-degree-of-freedom robots, mechatronic products, or devices with moving parts.
  • Knowledge of and experience integrating brushless direct-current motors, servo motors, motor drivers, encoders, inertial measurement units, force/torque sensors, tactile sensors, or related components.
  • Experience integrating devices using communication interfaces such as CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, USB, RS-485, SPI, I2C, or UART.
  • Experience designing power and safety systems, including batteries, power distribution, protection circuits, emergency stops, and safety mechanisms.
  • Experience analyzing and resolving issues related to noise, heat generation, voltage drops, poor contact, cable disconnection, electromagnetic compatibility, or electromagnetic interference.
  • Experience with printed circuit board design, circuit design, and board evaluation.
  • Experience using ROS/ROS 2, Linux, Python, C/C++, or related tools for hardware evaluation and debugging.
  • Experience with mass-production design, supplier selection, quality improvement, engineering change request/engineering change order processes, or manufacturing launch.
  • Experience communicating technical topics in English-speaking environments.

About the Company

AI Robot Association

Open robotics research association

AI Robot Association is best understood as an open research association working on foundation models for robotics. Researchers and engineers build datasets, training systems, evaluation methods, and embodied artificial-intelligence software. Its initiative brings together motion data, vision-language-action research, model development, and humanoid-robot experimentation. Roles may span machine learning, robotics, data engineering, simulation, infrastructure, research operations, and partnerships. The entity has a limited public footprint, so the profile stays close to its official research and recruiting materials.
