Beyond Project Success!

Since I joined the company in 2015, I have been mainly involved in the development of diamond wire (DW). DW is used to thinly slice silicon ingot and other materials into hundreds of wafers which are used in solar panels and semiconductor devices. I am working on deciding the specifications of DW and dealing with customer projects with the aim of mass production adoption by customers.

When I first joined the company, it was all I could do just to keep up with the daily tasks in front of me, but now I have more time on my hands than I did then, and I am working together with the departments around me on everything from material research and selection to in-house evaluation and on-site evaluation at customers. The moment that gives me the greatest sense of accomplishment is when the test at the customer site is successful and we are able to move forward to mass production adoption. There is nothing better than this moment. My biggest goal at the moment is the success of the project I am involved in. I am in charge of the specification design and initial evaluation of the DW, which is an important and fundamental part of the project, so I will work harder than ever to achieve my goal in cooperation with my colleagues.

I aim to become an engineer who can contribute to society through READ products.

Since joining READ in April 2016, I have been working as a development engineer mainly for diamond wire. I am working with the goal of releasing high-performance, high-grade precision processing tools for the solar and semiconductor markets. One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the development laboratory is that I am able to be involved in the entire process of product design, manufacturing, evaluation, and improvement. Sometimes we visit our customer's site, both in Japan and overseas, and evaluate the processing together. We discuss with engineers of the customer to find the best solution from various viewpoints. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I am able to achieve good results with a product that I have struggled to developed by overcoming many obstacles. We work hard every day in close communication with all departments to create better products for the world. We will continue to develop products that anticipate the future, always keeping in mind the spirit of our company motto, "What beholds the future? " READ members continue to contribute to society by the passion for manufacturing!

I believe that I can do it, and I will take on the challenge!

Since joining the company in April 2018, I have been mainly involved in the development of elemental technologies. I feel proud and highly motivated to be involved in the development of technologies that could be the key to READ's products. There are many difficulties in the extremely delicate micron-level processing, but I enjoy finding solutions with the advice of many people regardless of department. Recently, I have been able to utilize my own ideas in development and have been entrusted with important development themes. It is a responsible job, but I feel that I am trusted and allowed to challenge freely. I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I am able to make new discoveries through verification under various conditions.

There is no end to the elucidation of phenomena and the development of technologies. My current goal is to incorporate processes that have not yet been realized into the company. I will continue to take on challenges with an inquisitive mind and a sense of speed so that we can always provide products with better precision. We will continue to work tenaciously to achieve the performance demanded by our customers as quickly as possible, and strive for uncompromising product manufacturing.
