I’m currently working at HORIBA on secondment from HTA, specializing in software development, and now work at the Biwako Factory in Japan, where I bring STARS Enterprise software to life across systems and applications. At HORIBA, software design isn’t just about solving immediate challenges. Instead, it’s about creating solutions with a long-term vision for future operations and maintenance. This approach has allowed me to move beyond just coding and embrace the bigger picture of product development. With global collaboration, exciting career paths, and endless opportunities to innovate, HORIBA is a place where creativity and enthusiasm drive meaningful impact every day!

I have been with HORIBA for over a decade, starting as a software developer for spectrometers and later transitioning to lead the AI department. As a desktop and distributed solution engineer, my work involves designing robust solution architectures and developing AI-driven software that integrates practical applications across industries. One of the most rewarding aspects is collaborating with global teams to transform ideas into impactful solutions. HORIBA offers a unique environment where creativity thrives, and engineers can work across diverse industries while engaging with colleagues worldwide. For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. If you dream of creating meaningful technology, HORIBA is the place to be!

I have been with HORIBA for 8 years since joining as a new graduate, and there were many opportunities to be involved in various projects. As a software engineer, I have not only improved my technical skills but also had chances to incorporate opinions from different perspectives such as planning, development, production, and sales in product development. There are also opportunities to work with countries outside of Japan, such as France and India. One of the attractions of working here is the environment where you can propose ideas from the field and bring them to life. Why not join us in taking on the challenge of Japanese manufacturing?

I joined HORIBA in 2012, transitioning from developing promotional websites to creating software for complex hardware systems. What makes HORIBA truly unique is its culture of care, where challenges are met with collaboration and trust. If a project needs more time or resources, management asks, “What do you need?” Seeing my code come to life in real hardware and collaborating with engineers to transform ideas into tangible systems keeps me motivated every day. HORIBA’s commitment to its employees and its emphasis on long-term impact truly make it an inspiring place to work, and the perfect place to grow your career as a software engineer!

I am involved in the development of large inspection equipment for the semiconductor market. Our customers are located all over the world, including Europe, America, and Asia, allowing us to work on a global stage. The semiconductor market demands a high level of quality and advanced object-oriented skills, but it is fun to put together difficult puzzles, and the sense of accomplishment when you finish is great. I look forward to working with people who enjoy software development and have a strong desire to improve.
