I'm good at making reliable embedded codes(10,000 lines to 10,000,000 lines), with wide scale of software engineers(1 to 200 persons), for newly designed hardware, machines, and systems, which consists of processors, graphics engine, network, storage, sensors, and actuators.
Experience
2017 — Now
California, United States
Develop new functions for Mobile Robotics software. Architecture design, implementation, test, and field support. Now we have 4 product lines. HD-1500, MD-650/900, LD-250, and LD-60/90. I focus on establishing reliable and efficient traffic management for mixed fleet of these robots. Field support is most beneficial work for improving. Thanks for customers, system integrators, and sales people who try best optimization, there are nice fleets all over the world. By listening carefully and kindly to their voices, our system can increase its reliability and performance every day.

Camas WA USA
Strategy/operation study for new Robot service business for global market, architecture and spec design, and platform development project bring up.
In USA, by studying customer requirement, I summarized outdoor service robot functional spec, and architecture. I supported Japan factory to bring up project and productize in Japan. I managed USA S/W, H/W, Mechanical engineers to bring up, deploy, and test the made-in-Japan prototypes. Also I deploy and evaluate GPS, wireless network, and indoor network and server in our facility. Now I focus on summarizing all efforts as a deployment guideline for starting sales.
