Skills
Our engineering team
What projects/services is your engineering team working on?
We are involved from the design stage of the product being developed by the product development department. Through repeated meetings, we design, develop, and assemble the equipment so that the production department can mass produce the product without any problems.
Our optical communication components are chosen by the world’s first-class customers. Technology in the field of optical communications changes rapidly, and many of the requirements are difficult, so we work hard every day to provide high-performance production equipment in cooperation with the product development and production departments.
We are also considering projects to use these technologies to sell equipment and elemental technologies to external parties.
What technologies are you using?
The main technologies required for equipment design are general programs such as C#, image processing, electrical design, and mechanical design. Since we are an optical company, we also use optical technology.
What type of engineers work at your company? What is their job content?
Main job categories: Mechanical/electrical design engineers, software engineers, circuit design engineers, optical component engineers
Do you plan on using any new technologies in the future?
If a large number of devices are introduced in the future, there is a possibility that networks will be constructed to acquire information on devices and DX, as well as to incorporate AI in device operation and image processing.
Career step up
1st year : Programmer
2nd year : Programmer
3rd year : Based on your code skills, communication skills and understanding of the project’s content, you will be entrusted to lead the project’s software.
In addition to equipment development, we also carry out elemental technology development, taking in various needs within the company. Therefore, to step up your career, you also need to understand mechanical and electrical design.
