About Artefacts

Artefacts is building a set of software tools for robotics software developers, facilitating Continuous Simulation in their workflow and tight integration with CI. We hope to help them take on the challenge of creating an advanced robotized world that will enable a more efficient and environmentally friendly society. We also believe that emerging AI techniques will dramatically change the way robotics software is built.

The Role

The role focuses on creating tools to help robotic engineers simulate and test their robots in rich and relevant virtual environments. You will work closely with engineers working on robotics who will use the tools you are building.

Responsibilities

  • Create parametric / procedural 3D environments.
  • Integrate AI tools to generate simulations or assets from text, images, etc.
  • Customization / tweaking of simulation engine performance for simulation at scale.
  • Implement custom sensor models in simulation.

Requirements

We expect the following from you:

  • Enthusiasm and interest toward building realistic 3D environments as well as robotics and AI.
  • Ready to join a startup (it can be messy and requires personal commitment).
  • We expect you to work with us, not for us.
  • We would like to see what you have done already:
    • Any publicly visible work such as open source contributions, personal blogs, Medium contributions, published papers, etc.
    • Any publicly visible accounts such as GitHub, StackExchange, etc.
    • Presentations at meetups / conferences.
    • Work / projects you are particularly proud of.

Technical Skills

We are interested in experience with:

  • Rust, Python, or C++ development experience.
  • Experience using or building 3D Engines (Unreal, Unity, Ogre3D, etc.) and physics simulation (Dart, ODE, PhysX).
  • Experience with parametric 3D modeling (Blender nodes, OpenSCAD, etc.).
  • Experience with generative AI for 3D/CAD.

Optional Skills

  • Experience with robotics or robotics simulators.
  • Experience with Photogrammetry / NeRF.
  • Experience with cloud computing / high performance computing.
  • Experience with GIS data sources.
  • Experience with generative AI building or training ML models.
  • Experience with 3D printing.
  • Experience in UI/UX design.

The Ideal Candidate

We will consider the following as extras:

  • Experience with “real world” robot applications.
  • A real passion for Simulation Software or building Interactive Environments.
  • Graduate degree in related disciplines (Degree is not necessary to apply, but if a work-visa is required, it can make the process difficult without extensive, related work experience).
  • Advanced analytical skills.

Application Process

We value your time and your interest. We propose meeting a number of times, primarily online, to talk about you, about us, and about what we could achieve together. We promise to reply to each serious application.

Typical Application Flow:

  • You apply, sending us a resume and a cover letter. We value very much seeing your public contributions.
  • We invite you for a first online meeting, or explain why we may not meet this time.
  • We may organize other meetings, for you and us to know better, sometimes on site.
  • We expect to make decisions relatively rapidly.
  • We may ask for references.

Conditions and Team Membership

How we work together is in flux as the team and company grow. We aim at adapting working conditions as we all see fit. Currently:

  • We encourage asking “why”.
  • Inclusive, personal growth-oriented environment.
  • Honest salaries; no bonus culture.
  • Modern offices within 5 minutes walking distance from Shinjuku station.
  • Flexible work location: Some prefer remote work, some office work, some change every day. We gather at the office when needed.
  • We breathe open source, when it makes sense.
  • Medical checkup support in Tokyo.
  • Full or part-time as you prefer. We usually start with a three-month contract to start working together.
  • Remote-first team: Preference for candidates in the JST timezone and candidates in Japan (due to hardware).
