job description

Supporting the environment and the company through technology: the command center of development

In response to the next-generation management challenges of decarbonization and resource recycling, we oversee development functions that support the sustainable growth of our business, from strategy formulation and R&D execution to environmental indicator management and the development of highly skilled personnel.

We seek individuals who can view the entire process, from technology development to production, from a holistic perspective, and approach complex challenges logically based on facts. We require the ability to deeply assess the potential impacts of chemical use, compliance, and legal matters, and to calmly derive the best course of action for both the workplace and the company.

The Values of Working in Production Technology

Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society by leveraging our unique materials technology and advanced technologies. The process of driving development from the development and verification of fundamental technologies to their social implementation offers an exciting challenge that goes beyond the confines of development.

Creating the standards of the future: A challenge towards a sustainable society

We are challenging ourselves to innovate beyond existing frameworks, such as establishing industry-leading resource recycling technologies, developing materials that achieve carbon neutrality, and promoting automation using AI and DX. Armed with cutting-edge knowledge and technology, we are achieving a high level of balance between protecting the global environment and next-generation manufacturing, and we feel a great sense of social significance and accomplishment as we shape the "future standard" that the world should aim for with our own hands.

Establishing a global foundation of trust that underpins the very core of the organization.

Our mission is to uphold universal values essential for corporate survival—safety, disaster prevention, crime prevention, environment, and quality—on a global scale. We take pride in strengthening the foundation of our management through building governance systems that connect our global locations and developing production facilities and infrastructure. The process of sharing expertise across diverse cultures and nationalities, and transforming the awareness and culture of the entire organization, is full of the dynamism to drive business forward.

As a partner in transformation that connects the field and technology, we support people and encourage evolution.

Our technology is always aimed at bringing smiles to the faces of our colleagues working on-site and ensuring customer satisfaction. Even the promotion of DX and the advancement of equipment are essentially just means to solve "people's problems." We find the greatest joy in sincerely listening to the urgent voices of those on the front lines, building relationships, and working together to solve problems. The feeling that the systems we create are useful to someone and that we receive words of gratitude in return is the driving force behind our insatiable curiosity as engineers.

Message from a senior employee

Based on the knowledge of production engineering I gained at university, I started my career designing and setting up production equipment. Later, I expanded my scope to new product planning and development, gaining experience in the entire process of manufacturing.
Currently, I'm involved in a wide range of tasks, including external negotiations related to sustainable technologies, process development, and equipment installation, utilizing my diverse expertise. While there are challenges in being involved in so many different phases, I feel that this environment allows me to grow as an engineer.
If you want to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, grow through a wide range of experiences, and achieve big goals as part of a team, then let's take on the challenge of creating the future of manufacturing together!
