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:
• - Design, development, and operation of remote-control interfaces
• - Design, development, and operation of fleet monitoring systems
• - Design, development, and operation of delivery management systems
• - Development of user-facing applications

• ■ Specific Tasks:
• You will develop and operate the systems required to support delivery robot operations, including monitoring interfaces for remotely controlling robots, management systems that support day-to-day operations, and user-facing applications. Real-world robot delivery services require web systems and applications for shippers and recipients, making this a broad and varied development role. We are looking for an engineer who can lead these development efforts.

• ■ 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.
