Devote myself to a semiconductor maker with my major

Joined the company April 2016
Production technology engineer
N.O.

I discovered USJC when I was studying epitaxial growth, one of the thin-film crystal growth technologies in semiconductor manufacturing, and when I was looking for a job to make the most of what I had learned in my hometown. I heard that semiconductors manufactured by USJC are being used in products such as smartphones and automobiles, and I decided to work for USJC because I thought it would be a good way to work while feeling like I was contributing to society.

Responsible for playing a central role in the manufacturing environment where trial and error are welcomed! Responsible for playing a central role in the manufacturing environment where trial and error is welcomed!

My job is mainly to improve, manage and monitor production lines to make better products faster and at lower cost.
The manufacturing department I belong to is the center of manufacturing, producing semiconductors. Collaboration with other departments is essential for manufacturing. For example, in order to improve product yield, we may review the process of making a product or change the specifications of materials or equipment. We work with process development engineers, customer engineers, and manufacturing facility engineers from other departments to make improvements on a daily basis.
In addition, even though the production line is set up using the same process and equipment as before, it may not go well. In that case, identify the cause of the problem, resolve it, and stabilize the process. I feel a great sense of accomplishment when the product takes shape on the line I launched.

The work environment is very bright and open, and I feel that my opinion is accepted. Incidentally, I studied semiconductors at university, but I definitely learned more after joining the company. Even if you did not major in semiconductors when you were a student, if you are interested in working on your own, your supervisors and seniors will teach you carefully, so you can work in a safe and enjoyable environment.

As a member of "USJC," learn to put yourself in their shoes.

I was passionate about baseball in high school and ice hockey in college, and my motto has always been to act responsibly as a member of a team. Because of this experience, thinking from the other person's point of view, "What would he/she think if I said this?" and "What would he/she do if I did this?
Semiconductor manufacturing involves hundreds to thousands of processes, so it is essential to cooperate with many people, both inside and outside the company, and I feel that my job requires me to think, speak, and act from the perspective of others. Always remember this identity and grow into a person who is responsible as an engineer of "USJC."

worklifebalance How OB enjoying their day off?

Having drinks during off
duty is always welcome.
Somehow it looks like
a good idea working out.

On my days off, I spend time at home. I like to drink, and sometimes stop by a izakaya I like. I am able to spend my days off refreshed and lead a balanced life, which allows me to work hard at work! I have enjoyed physical exercise since I was a student, but such opportunities have been far away since I entered the workforce. I am planning to take advantage of USJC's benefits program and start a physical activity hobby soon.
