Physical AI Engineer | Robotics × AI | ¥7M–20M | Full Remote

Job Details

Location: Japan
Salary: Competitive
Job Type: Permanent
Specialization: Consulting & Professional Services, Industrial & Manufacturing, Information Technology, Software Engineering
Reference: 60547
I’m supporting a Japanese AI company that is building Physical AI solutions for real-world environments such as factories and warehouses.
They are hiring a Physical AI Engineer to combine robotics, simulation, and advanced AI to automate tasks that have traditionally been difficult to handle with conventional systems.

¥7M–20M
Full Remote available in Japan
Flexible working hours
Python / C++ / PyTorch / TensorFlow / ROS 2
Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab / Gazebo / MuJoCo

What you’ll work on
  • Reinforcement Learning, Imitation Learning, and Computer Vision
  • Robot simulation using Isaac Sim / Lab, Gazebo, or MuJoCo
  • Designing and leading AI + Robotics PoCs
  • Integrating solutions into ROS 2 environments
  • Deploying and improving systems in real operational environments
  • Applying LLMs / VLMs to next-generation human-robot interaction
  • Translating real business problems into technical requirements and system architecture

The company focuses on the AI, control, and digital twin layers, while working with external partners on hardware manufacturing and maintenance.

Who they’re looking for
  • Strong Python engineering skills and knowledge of C++
  • Experience building Deep Learning models with PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Expertise in at least one of RL, Imitation Learning, or Computer Vision
  • Hands-on experience with robotics simulators such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or MuJoCo
  • Experience technically leading projects or small engineering teams
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to business stakeholders

Experience with ROS / ROS 2, Navigation2, MoveIt2, real-world robots, manufacturing, logistics, or LLM/VLM applications is a strong plus.
This role could be especially interesting for engineers who want to move beyond simulation or research and build Physical AI systems that are actually deployed into real businesses.
