## Job description

- Intuition Robotics develops ElliQ, an AI-powered companion robot designed to support older adults in living healthier, happier, and more independent lives. ElliQ combines advanced AI with a multimodal user experience, including conversation, visual interfaces, movement, sound, and lighting, creating unique and engaging HRI (human robotics interaction) experiences.

Founded in 2016, Intuition Robotics launched ElliQ commercially in 2022 and has since experienced significant growth. The company has raised over $83M from leading institutional and corporate investors, including Woven Capital (Toyota's growth fund), Toyota Ventures, Samsung NEXT, OurCrowd, Terra Ventures, and Sompo.

In this part-time role based in Tokyo (hybrid or remote), you will work closely with our global Product, Design, and Localization teams to ensure ElliQ's visual design, illustrations, animations, marketing assets, and user-facing content resonate with older Japanese adults and aligns with local cultural expectations.

- Review and refine typography, layouts, iconography, color usage, imagery, and visual storytelling to meet Japanese user expectations.

- Create new visual assets, illustrations, and marketing materials as needed for product features, user studies, and customer-facing communications.

- Support localization efforts for the ElliQ mobile app, caregiver experiences, onboarding flows, and in-product content.

- Participate in user research reviews and incorporate insights from Japanese users into design recommendations.

- Help maintain visual consistency between the global ElliQ brand and localized Japanese experiences (where possible).

- Provide feedback on cultural nuances, accessibility considerations, and age-friendly design best practices.

### Requirements

- 3+ years of experience in graphic design, visual design, UI design, or related fields.

- Native-level Japanese proficiency.

- Business-level English communication skills.

- Strong understanding of Japanese culture, aesthetics, and design conventions.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills.

### Nice-to-Haves

**Live in Intuitionrobotics’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
