Generative AI Engineer

This position is part of the BR Digital Innovation Department, which develops and implements digital technologies such as generative AI to transform company-wide business processes. The role is expected to join an AI-agent development team working on procurement and quotation processes. Its focus is the technical development of drawing-similarity search and quotation-process automation.

Daily work includes building a similarity-search engine for drawings covering several million part numbers, using shape-based feature values, and evaluating and improving search accuracy. The role also develops AI-assisted quotation support by matching similar drawings with historical quotation results, presenting the basis for estimates, and using AI agents to improve quotation efficiency. Other responsibilities include automatically recognizing part numbers, shape characteristics, and dimensions; designing features optimized for similarity search; tuning feature values and similarity metrics; designing feedback loops; and visualizing the reasons for similarity results. Requirements are coordinated with business departments and external partners.

Required qualifications are at least two years of experience designing or developing systems that use AI or machine learning, application development experience with Python, and either experience processing unstructured data such as drawings, images, or technical documents with AI, or experience improving procurement and quotation operations or developing related systems.

Preferred experience includes developing document or drawing analysis systems using generative AI, LLMs, or VLMs; designing and building similarity-search or feature-extraction systems for 2D or 3D data; designing or improving the performance of search systems for large-scale data; processing manufacturing drawings in formats such as DXF, PDF, or STEP; and developing applications or configuring environments in AWS or Azure. The role also seeks people who independently investigate and test new technologies, share findings with their team, connect technology with business-problem solving, and persistently work to improve search and matching accuracy for large-scale data.

The position is a permanent, full-time role. The work location is Daiba Development Center in Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo. The possible change in work location covers all sites, departments, and plants of Aisin and related companies in Japan and overseas.

English with a TOEIC score of 550 or equivalent ability is welcomed; work use is rare for email and calls, occasional for reading materials and documents, and generally not required for overseas assignments.

Shorter-hours work, flextime, remote work, and casual office clothing are listed as work-style provisions.
