Solutions Engineer (Japan, Forward-Deployed)

Japan | Forward-deployed, hands-on | Highly competitive package

Take a frontier physical AI model into real Japanese factories, sites and networks, and make it work on customers' own sensor data.

The company

A Bay Area physical AI company building a foundation model that understands the physical world through sensor data, from cameras and radar to industrial and IoT signals. Enterprises use it to understand and act on what's happening in their real-world operations. It's backed by top-tier investors and expanding with major partners in Japan.

The role

You'll be the hands-on technical lead in front of Japanese customers: scoping use cases, connecting their sensors and data to the platform, building proofs of concept and getting deployments into production, then feeding what you learn back to the product and research teams.

What you'll own

• Technical discovery and solution design with customer engineering teams.
• Integrating customer sensors, data sources and systems with the platform, on cloud and at the edge.
• Building demos, proofs of concept and production deployments that show real value.
• Product feedback from the field to the US engineering and research teams.

What you'll bring

• Fluent Japanese and strong English.
• Hands-on experience as a solutions, sales, integration or forward-deployed engineer, or in a similar customer-facing technical role.
• Practical coding skills (Python ideally) and comfort with APIs, cloud platforms and data pipelines.
• Exposure to sensors, IoT, computer vision, robotics or industrial systems is a strong plus.

Why this one

You'll be working at the front edge of physical AI, with real customer data and real deployments, in a role that sits right between the customer and the research team.
