We work with digital transformation specialists and on-site personnel from various companies and deploy the solutions developed there to other companies. [Business Areas] The domestic market for social and industrial infrastructure maintenance is estimated to be worth ¥5 trillion, and we are working on solutions that will fundamentally improve the shortcomings of this vast market. While digital transformation has made progress in deskwork to date, there is still a white space for on-site non-desk tasks, such as infrastructure work, which still rely on paperwork and expert judgment, and we believe there is significant room for improvement. Currently, we focus on equipment inspections, site management, and security surveillance, with plans to expand in the future. [Recruitment Background] We are currently working on robot development-related projects, including joint research and development with clients. We are looking for an engineer to lead robot development, including the development of common functions that form the foundation of the project. [Overall Team Duties] Robotics/3D Team - In the field of industrial infrastructure digital transformation, we work on the design and development of services and products for equipment inspection, disaster prevention, and security surveillance. We handle a wide range of development, from solutions that combine robotics and software to hardware-agnostic product development. [About the Team] You will be part of the Robotics Group, which includes four robotics engineers and two product managers.
