The code on my screen moves real machines."

Also worked in software development at a previous job, mainly modifying existing products. Joined RISE ONE, drawn to the chance to design from scratch with real discretion. Now develops control software for inspection equipment for major manufacturers, mainly in LabVIEW.
Why did you decide to join RISE ONE?
At my previous job, I mainly worked on modifying existing products.RISE ONE builds fully custom machines.I was drawn to an environment where I could design from scratch and build with my own discretion, so I decided to join.I believed that with solid technical skills, I could confidently propose solutions to any challenge.In fact, since joining, being able to work out solutions as a team for customers' complex requirements has been truly rewarding.
What does software development involve, and what makes it rewarding?
I currently develop control software for inspection equipment for major manufacturers. I mainly write programs for communication and function inspection systems for automotive parts, handling everything from requirements review to design, development, and testing.What I find most rewarding is the moment a machine runs precisely on the program I wrote.When communication tests and function tests work as intended and the machine runs stably at the customer's site, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.It's a job where you truly feel that the code on your screen is moving a real machine.I feel the responsibility of playing a key role in supporting customers' production lines, but the sense of reward is even greater.
"I want to build software that runs an entire machine.
I want to develop with real discretion. If you want to bring machines to life with your own ideas, please come see our workplace."

Tell us about a memorable project.
On one project, frequent communication errors just before startup kept the machine from running stably.We isolated the causes one by one and solved the problem by reviewing both the program and the hardware.Overcoming it together as a team left a strong impression on me.I'll never forget the relief when the machine ran successfully at the customer's site.
What is the workplace like?
It's a "free and positive" workplace. It's easy to share ideas, and new challenges are encouraged.Relationships are flat and approachable. We usually leave at 6 p.m., with about 20 hours of overtime per month.Taking paid leave is easy, too.We have both veterans and young staff, and we all build machines together regardless of age or experience.I feel it's a place where you can work for a long time.
What does a typical day look like?
9:00 Start of Day & Morning MeetingReview and share today's development tasks and progress
9:30 Software Design & ProgrammingWriting control programs for inspection equipment in LabVIEW
12:00 Lunch BreakLunch with coworkers, or recharge at the office
13:00 Testing & Verification on the Actual MachineChecking communication and function tests on the real machine and isolating issues
15:30 Meeting with the Design TeamAligning specifications and operation timing with mechanical and electronic designers
18:00 End of DayWrap up after organizing the next day's tasks (usually leave at 6 p.m.)
A message for those interested in software development?
If you want to build software that runs an entire machine, or develop with real discretion, this is a truly rewarding environment.If you want to bring machines to life with your own ideas, please come see our workplace. Let's build one-of-a-kind inspection machines together.
