TriOrb hires US engineers for 1,000 kg omnidirectional AMRs

TriOrb, a robotics startup headquartered in Kitakyushu, Japan, with R&D at AIST Tokyo Waterfront and a presence in Detroit, is hiring founding US engineers for its System Integration division. The company's core technology is the world's first ball-driven omnidirectional mobility platform for industry: a patented three-ball drive mechanism that supports payloads up to 1,000 kg, footprints from 387 mm, and mm-level positioning accuracy via high-precision Visual SLAM. These AMRs can collaboratively transport large objects like cars and H-beams, and robustly traverse steps, gaps, grating, and slopes — environments where conventional AMRs fail. The mission is to replace fixed, rigid production lines with dynamically reconfigurable lines that adapt to demand uncertainty and high-mix low-volume production.

The company has been selected for Japan's Deep-Tech Startups Support Program (DTSU) run by NEDO and has active inquiries from over a dozen publicly listed companies. The role is a blend of Solution Architect, Field Application Engineer, and System Integration Engineer. Responsibilities include technical meetings, requirements definition, AMR deployment project management, interface design with factory equipment (PLC, MES, WMS), on-site commissioning, and collaboration with the Japan development team. Qualifications include experience deploying robots, AMRs, ROS2, or factory automation equipment; familiarity with PLC, MES, WMS, or fleet management; and willingness to travel across the US and occasionally to Japan. Location is remote within the US, with visa sponsorship available. The role is full-time and aims to convert a strong pipeline into production-ready factories.
