RLWRLD is a leading Physical AI company developing a Robotics Foundation Model (RFM) that enables robots to perceive, reason, and act in the real world like humans.
Building on deep research capabilities in AI and robotics and a strong data collaboration network with industrial partners in Japan, Korea, and beyond, RLWRLD is rapidly advancing our RFM to enable precise manipulation by high-degree-of-freedom robotic hands. The company is also collaborating with world-class research groups and partners in robotics and sensor solutions to develop AI models that can be practically deployed across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and services.
Having raised approximately KRW 60 billion in cumulative seed funding from leading domestic and global venture capital firms and major corporations, RLWRLD continues to attract exceptional talent who are eager to drive innovation across AI, robotics technology, and business.
Position Overview
A Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSW) is responsible for directly implementing data collection and management pipelines, tele-operation, edge/cloud integration, and software stabilization to enable RLWRLD’s RFM (Robotics Foundation Model)–based robotic systems to operate in real industrial environments.
This role goes beyond configuration or maintenance. It is a software deployment engineering role focused on system integration and building stable operational architectures that account for real-world field conditions, ensuring RFM-based systems run reliably in production.
As a member of the Robotics Deployment (RD) team, the FDSW works closely with project managers and Robotics/AI teams to lead end-to-end software delivery, spanning PoC → data collection → scaling → production (live operation and commercialization).
Key Responsibilites
- Set up and integrate on-site data collection systems and edge/cloud-based software environments
- Configure tele-operation and robot-system software integration
- Build and stabilize data pipelines optimized for on-site industrial conditions
- Respond rapidly to software issues during PoC and data collection, including root cause analysis and resolution
- Stabilize and optimize robotic and data collection systems through sensor/system log analysis and debugging
- Build operational infrastructure and provide technical training for customers and partners
- Translate on-site requirements into structured technical feedback for internal teams
- Convert uncertainty in industrial environments into solvable, software-driven solutions
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience deploying software in industrial environments involving software, robotics, or automation systems, or experience in SI/integration roles (focused on real operational deployment rather than routine maintenance)
- Experience with edge/cloud software integration and system diagnostics
- Understanding of software stacks such as ROS/ROS2, gRPC, REST APIs, and Docker
- Experience operating Linux-based systems, log analysis, and software debugging
- Experience in technical communication with customers and SI partners
- Proven ability to structure problems and drive execution across diverse environments (adaptive execution)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with edge/cloud software integration and DevOps practices
- Software development experience using Python and/or C++
- Understanding of sensor, perception, and networking environments
- Experience in ML/AI-based robotics systems
- Experience deploying software in industrial automation, logistics, or manufacturing environments
- Technical communication skills in English or Japanese
- End-to-end experience or strong interest in Data → Model → Operation workflows
Working Conditions
- Work Location: 561 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (RUBINA Building, Yeoksam-dong)
- Employment Type: Full-time
- Probationary Period
- A three-month probationary period will apply upon employment.
- During this period, your work attitude and performance will be evaluated.
- Depending on the evaluation results, the probationary period may be extended or the employment offer may be withdrawn.
How to Apply
- Application Materials:
- Resume in English or Korean
- (optional) Portfolio, research materials, or project documents showcasing your capabilities
- Application Deadline: Rolling basis
Hiring Process
- Document Screening → Coding Test → 1st Interview → 2nd Interview → 3rd Interview → Final Offer
- Candidates who pass the document screening will be contacted individually.
- Additional interview rounds may be conducted if necessary.
Benefits & Perks
- Flexible Work Schedule: Adjust your working hours autonomously to match your personal rhythm.
- Equipment & Software Support: We provide job-specific equipment and essential software required for your role.
- Office Amenities: Enjoy our in-office snack bar and coffee machines.
- Holiday & Birthday Gifts: Small gifts are provided for holidays and birthdays.
- Health Checkup Support: We support your well-being through regular health checkups.
