Jobs in Shincron

Shincron has mainly two customer groups; One is the lens business with a tradition of 70 years, and the other one is the electronic component business which was developed about 30 years ago.
I belong to the latter, the Electronic Component Business Unit, and propose vacuum thin film forming systems to domestic customers as a sales representative. Electronic components referred to here are components that are mainly used in smartphones and tablet devices, and also include components used in automobiles whose autonomous driving performance is becoming higher.
The customers whom I’m in charge of are already users of our systems, and I propose new systems as well as renovation and maintenance of existing systems to them. What I always keep in mind when I make a proposal is to comprehend the real needs of customers. There lies the difficulty in how deep I can dig into the message behind their words, and how I can sense what they expect me to do.
And doing these things well is very challenging to me.

I belong to the Mechanical Design Group in the Design Department, and the nature of my work has changed as I accumulate experience, even in the same department. I used to engage in designing components when I was young, but I have been in charge of slightly more upstream processes recently. My current job is mainly to consider the outline and direction of vacuum thin film forming systems based on the specifications prepared by the Product Design Department. The difficulty in considering the system outline is that it is insufficient to do the work of my own department. As the Design Department is an upstream department that provides information to other departments, it is necessary to proceed with the entire process from a broad perspective while collaborating with other departments such as manufacturing, purchasing, and production control. As the nature of my work changed, so did the quality of my sense of accomplishment. When I was in charge of making component drawings, I had a kind of sense of accomplishment after finishing my assignment. But now, I feel a sense of accomplishment that is close to a feeling of relief after a system is completed and delivered to a customer. I cannot relax at all until delivery.
