Experiments

My love of cars led me to participate in student formula racing when I was in college.
I learned the joy of manufacturing.
For my thesis, I studied "pedestrian head protection performance of engine hoods".
I wanted to be involved in the automotive industry after graduation, and I chose this industry because the seat is the part that comes into most contact with people, and it is an important part that requires collision safety.
I have been with the CAE Evaluation Section for 12 years since I joined the company, conducting virtual experiments on the computer to evaluate safety performance. Three and a half of those years were spent in Vietnam.
Safety is important for seats, but there are many other features that are required.
Therefore, I find it rewarding to work together to create a single product while discussing with other teams and considering the functions and performance that should be implemented.

Currently, as the chief, I am responsible for the overall management of the project.
The fun part of this job is that we can thoroughly evaluate every single bolt, but on the other hand, it is meaningless if everyone in the team does not perform their duties at the same level.
For this reason, we are reviewing the analysis settings and evaluation process, and are improving our operations so that the same results are obtained no matter who evaluates.
No compromises are allowed in safety performance.
Despite these difficulties, nothing can compare to the feeling of knowing that the seats we were involved in developing are installed in cars all over the world, and that we are providing safety, security, and comfort to all people who sit in those seats.
