I want to refine highly reliable design methods and improve the status of embedded software developers.

With the advancement of various systems, our lives are becoming more comfortable.
On the other hand, I think that the opportunity to hear the failure of various systems is increasing with the high functionality. Currently, I am involved in software development for automotive ECUs.
This work, of course, requires a higher quality design than anything else.
However, it is not easy to obtain specific and appropriate design methods in the literature or seminars.
Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate method from various methods, and to improve and operate it in accordance with the actual development work content.
As a result of the accumulation of these things, we will create sophisticated design methods that we have devised independently. Thus, the "design quality standard" in the software development field is currently defined independently for each organization.
Of course, we also refine our own standards, and we also aim to propose common standards as a high quality software development field. In order to make the system high quality and obtain a more “safe” and comfortable life, it is necessary to establish a specific high quality design method and define the skills necessary to carry it out.
And we believe that the result of our efforts will lead us to "qualify" software development engineers themselves and gain a more solid position. In order to refine design methods and improve software development, development of motor vehicle software that requires high quality is a very worthwhile task.

Use of knowledge and experience of student days

While I was in university, I heard from a senior who became a member of society that the knowledge I had learned among the students was not useful. I misunderstood this and simply thought, "My knowledge has never been useful." And now, as I continue my work, what I feel anew is, "It depends on the person's problem awareness and problem solving ability whether or not they can use their knowledge". I feel that the knowledge I have actually learned among the students is useful in many ways. If you do not understand the problem properly, you can not, of course, use your knowledge. If analysis is not appropriate, effective measures can not be made using knowledge. I feel that these places are the part where there is a difference among people in actual work. In addition, I think it is very meaningful to be involved in organizational management and team projects among the students. There are so many people involved in a product, and even software development alone does not have to be completed by one person. I think that the ability to collaborate, study, and bring out the strength of oneself and others is more valuable than anything else.
