Job Description

■Overview
　The company was established in 2014 by the CEO, an alumnus of a major Japanese automotive parts manufacturer, together with engineers with rich experience in the IT industry. Since then, we have been providing technical consulting and tool development for major companies in the automotive industry, mainly for our former clients.
　In the nine years since its establishment, the company has grown steadily and gradually, but in recent years we have also been focusing on new sales activities. Thanks to your support, we are looking for people who can enjoy building a company together with us, positioning 2023 as our second founding period, as we are on the verge of a rapid expansion of sales scale.

■Features
　Since the establishment of the company, we have consistently hired foreign nationals on the same basis as Japanese nationals without discrimination or prejudice as long as they are capable of performing their duties in Japanese. Since the founding members other than the CEO are Chinese nationals, foreign nationals currently account for about half of the company's employees.

You can grow as an engineer because you will be entrusted with work of an appropriate level of difficulty according to your abilities, including projects that involve direct dealings with major manufacturers.

　【Young engineers are active.】
　All of our PM and PL are in their late 30s or early 40s, and most of our general engineers are in their 20s or 30s.

　【We emphasize work-life balance.】
