Job Overview

• ■ Recruitment Background:
• In a super-aged society with a shrinking workforce like Japan, we believe the use of robots is essential. However, operating tens of thousands of robots outdoors around the clock with safe autonomous control requires advanced technology and a robust operational framework. Today, most companies operating autonomous delivery robots overseas are startups specializing in robotics development. Because Japan’s super-aged society creates a clear need for robotic solutions, we believe the country needs startups of its own to address this challenge.
  
  Although we are one of the newest entrants in Japan’s delivery robot industry, we are working to become the first manufacturer to provide services at a scale of 1,000 robots. Join us in building a company that will create the next generation of global logistics infrastructure.

• ■ Job Description:
• - Conceptual layout planning
  
• - Detailed component design and technical drawing preparation
• - Preparation of design justification documentation (design verification lists and FMEA)
• - Experimental testing and evaluation
• - Coordination of specifications with manufacturing partners
• - Schedule management
• *You will be assigned responsibilities from the above based on your experience and skills.*

• ■ Specific Tasks:
• You will be responsible for the mechanical design of autonomous delivery robots.
  In addition to designing mechanical components, you will develop conceptual layouts, including the placement of sensors, cameras, and other equipment required for safe autonomous operation.
  You will also coordinate technical specifications with our manufacturing partners and manage project schedules and progress.
  We are looking for someone who excels at bringing people together and collaborating to create something new.

• ■ Company Overview
• Founded in April 2022, we are a startup developing LOMBY, an autonomous delivery robot designed to operate on public roads. We develop both the hardware and software in-house, with the goal of providing affordable, reliable, around-the-clock robotic labor for last-mile logistics.
  
  In October 2024, we raised ¥270 million, including an investment from Suzuki Motor Corporation, and are now advancing development toward mass production. Our efforts to deploy robots in society have been supported by NEDO since fiscal 2022. In September 2024, we were also selected for NEDO’s Deep-Tech Startups Support Program, with more than ¥2 billion in grant funding.
