Job description (entire company, your department, etc.)
Design and analysis of motorcycles in the development of complete vehicles. We develop new models and improve existing models to improve performance and ensure safety; we use CATIA software to create design drawings and optimize designs through analysis. We promote actual product realization through prototype production and testing, collaborating with other functional sections and designers to progress and manage the project.
How does your study at Shibaura Institute of Technology apply to your current profession?
Our university studies are directly applied in our design work. Basic knowledge of chemistry plays a major role in material selection and durability evaluation. Understanding the properties of materials helps me in selecting appropriate materials. In addition, the analytical and problem-solving skills I have developed through experiments are linked to problem solving in the design process. The logical thinking and data analysis skills I have acquired through my study of chemistry contribute to improving the accuracy and efficiency of design. The university studies are utilized in many aspects of design work.
What do we actually do as cross-disciplinary in society, or what is needed to cross-discipline?
Cooperation with different departments is important in complete vehicle design. Complete vehicle design works with other departments to improve product performance and reduce costs. Specifically, the design and production departments work together to achieve an efficient production process. Close communication with the production department is required to ensure that feedback from the design phase is promptly reflected. Communication and common goal setting are necessary for successful cross-disciplinary work. This will improve product quality and reduce costs. Cross-disciplinary efforts also help generate new ideas. Members with different perspectives and expertise can work together to develop better products.
