Systems Integration Engineer - Logistics Division

Telexistence develops remote controlled robots with artificial intelligence, with the mission to change robots, change the structure, and change the world. Gathered by high expertise professionals from all over the world, the engineering team consistently develops robotic hardware, software and AI technology in-house. TX aims to expand the scope of robotics activities beyond the factory floor and transform the fundamental nature of labor society.
This role focuses on automation of custom made manipulators, aiming to automate convenience store operations without human intervention at a high success rate, by developing perception modules.The focus will be to leverage sensor data (RGB data, Depth data, and others) and manipulators, and improve the existing system to further automate its success rate. In addition, this role also focuses on implementing clean and scalable software architecture, using C++ and ROS. Unlike other positions in automation team, system integration engineer would be required to have broad knowledge across control, perception and software engineering, and its responsibility will be to “glue” components together, while also have some basic knowledge to optimize and improve performance of each other. Additionally, we would expect them to develop unique algorithms that combines both domain knowledge from motion and perception areas. Thus, we appreciate a personnel interested in both motion and perception areas, as well as in software engineering. We strongly believe that our robots would provide great impact to the current and future market , and looking forward to have more people agreeing and joining our team.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of an automation system using custom hardware, by developing sophisticated software architecture and algorithms for perception and motion control system.
• Work with other automation engineers and achieve priorities and goals set by CxOs .
• Break up vague goals into concrete steps and manage your own timeline to achieve company goals.
• Accurately analyze the problem and data, evaluate and deploy the system to the product with safety and stability taken into account, within given timelines.
• Collect data, analyze results, and continuously improve algorithms quantitatively

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in modern C++ (C++14 or above) and python, along with clean software architecting skills.
• Experience in network communication (UDP, TCP)
• Experience in implementing hardware and software combined system, with or without ROS.
• 3+ years of experience in motion control field, and having basic experience of implementing perception modules as well
• ▻motion control system : writing and tuning controllers, controlling robotic manipulators, using inverse kinematics, and motion planning, with existing libraries and / or hand-crafted algorithms
• ▻libraries example : MoveIt!, TRACK-IK, BioIK, etc
• ▻perception system : using RGB-D sensors, combined with computer vision and/or AI/ML, with existing libraries and / or hand-crafted algorithms
• ▻libraries example : Open3D, PCL, OpenCV, Pytorch etc.
• Strong passion of releasing stable and reliable technology to the market
• Quick and accurate problem solving skills
• Careful issue monitoring / debugging skills 

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Ability to work in a fast-paced start-up environment.
• Ability to manage a team of subject matter experts and set technical direction.
• Proven success in designing or testing game-changing products in the robotics or similar industry.
• Experience in physics simulation / domain randomization using OpenGL, Blender, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo etc.

Position Location will be at Telexistence's Headquarters Office (Heiwajima, Tokyo) or another location designated by the company.
The role assignment may be modified based on organizational requirements. This could include changes to your job responsibilities, reporting structure, or team assignment.
