About this position
Technical Transfer Service Co., Ltd. is recruiting patent searchers for its Registered Search Organization Division in Tokyo. The role supports the Japan Patent Office through commissioned prior-art searches for patent examination in mechanical systems, transportation, switches and connectors.
Working directly with patent examiners, the searcher will understand the outline of an invention, investigate relevant prior art, explain the invention and search findings, report results, and propose possible directions for examination. The position combines advanced technical knowledge with analytical reasoning, structured interpretation of technical documents, and clear presentation in one-to-one discussions with examiners.
The principal research field is mechanical dynamics and mechatronics. Particularly relevant technical areas include automated warehouses, elevators and escalators, cranes, switches, and connectors, especially automotive connectors. The employer also welcomes candidates interested in applying artificial intelligence to technical information analysis and in developing hypotheses and proposals alongside the organization.
The successful candidate will join the Registered Research Organizations Division and initially complete company training followed by the Survey Worker Training Course provided by the National Institute of Industrial Property Information and Training. After successful completion, the role may transition from a fixed-term contract to permanent employment. The workplace is located in the Ark Mori Building in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, with limited remote work potentially available after proficiency is established and subject to confidentiality and dedicated-terminal restrictions.
The opportunity is suited to experienced science and engineering researchers or engineers who want to apply mechanical, mechatronics, electrical, electronic, or information-engineering expertise to patent examination and technology assessment.
