With overwhelming technical and proposal capabilities,
Continue to challenge difficult demands
In my previous job, I worked in production engineering related to aircraft fuselages. As I gained experience, I started looking for a new job to further improve my skills as an engineer. I was impressed by the people at AeroEdge and the way they were working with a passion for their work, challenging the world. I was also attracted by the fact that I could learn technology at a level that could be used globally and that there was an environment where I could achieve personal growth. In particular, I had a chance to talk with the executives during the selection process, and I was able to share with them my desire to grow as an engineer, and I felt strongly that I wanted to grow together with them.
Currently, I am in charge of process design and jig design for our main business. many of the products we handle at AeroEdge are made of difficult-to-cut materials, and many of them are aviation parts that require strict process control. However, it is very rewarding when I can contribute to the improvement of QCD (Quality, Cost, and Delivery, the three important factors in manufacturing) by successfully launching new processes and jigs through trial and error. I feel very rewarded when I can contribute to the improvement of QCD (Quality, Cost and Delivery).
As engineers with a global perspective, we will continue to pursue cutting-edge technologies and incorporate them into our own know-how, so that we can propose technologies that meet and even exceed our customers’ requirements.

While balancing childcare and work, active in IT work that I have never experienced
After graduating from high school, I worked as a teller at a local financial institution for about 10 years. As the face of the bank, I was required to provide smiling faces and pleasant responses to customers, and due to the nature of the business of handling important money, I was required to perform my daily duties accurately, comply with laws and regulations, and take the customer’s perspective into account. I left my job at a financial institution when I started childbirth and childcare, and later joined AeroEdge, a manufacturing company by chance. Unlike financial institutions with a long history, AeroEdge, which had just been established, had not yet established its day-to-day operations. The employees who work here find it rewarding to work every day with technology and ideas as their game, and I wanted to experience the satisfaction in this environment. I am now working with the attitude of business execution that I acquired at a financial institution as my foundation, while also taking on new challenges.
When I first joined the company, I worked as a general affairs staff using my experience from my previous job. AeroEdge is an environment where challenges to new tasks and efforts to acquire knowledge are highly valued, and I was originally inexperienced in the IT field, but I have been able to contribute to a wide range of tasks, from help desk operations and security enhancement to the promotion of smart factories. With the goal of creating an environment in which all employees can work comfortably, I have been working on the internal network environment, and receiving ideas on how to make it more comfortable for employees to work, and devising ways to make it more comfortable, has become a rewarding experience for me. I would like to continue to provide our employees with the most advanced IT infrastructure and a comfortable internal network at all times.
In addition, it is very difficult to find time to learn while raising children, but AeroEdge provides educational opportunities for self-learning. AeroEdge is a very understanding and comfortable workplace for women who want to balance work and childcare.

Using the company’s study abroad system, I went to graduate school while working. Aiming to become a specialist in both business and research.
I am a person who likes to master my favorite field, and I am obsessed with it. I have a strong inquisitive mind in my work and academic life, and I am interested in various technologies and try to understand the principles and principles of those technologies. I majored in mechanical engineering in college and graduate school, and worked as a process designer in my previous job, and studied non-destructive testing and process certification for the aviation industry in the quality department of AeroEdge.
Currently, I am participating in the AM (Additive Manufacturing) project as a full-time engineer since its inception. I have received training at an AM equipment manufacturer in Sweden, and I am promoting research on the business application of AM. In addition, using the in-house study abroad system, I enrolled in a doctoral course at Tokyo Metropolitan University, where we are conducting joint research, as a working adult, and am conducting research from both business and academic perspectives. The best thing about AeroEdge is that it provides an environment where I can learn while working.
In Japan, we are conducting joint research with NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science) on materials development, aiming to establish low-cost mass production technology for mass-produced parts using a new titanium-aluminum (TiAl) alloy with excellent castability developed by NIMS. I feel growth and fulfillment when I am constantly exposed to new technologies and learn unfamiliar techniques and knowledge.

Using my global experience to take on new business challenges
Through my experiences of studying abroad in the U.S. during high school, going to university in the U.K., and doing an internship at a venture company in Africa, I have always had a desire to do business with an eye on the world. When I was looking for a job, I focused on IT, medicine, and aerospace, which were growing industries at that time. In particular, I thought that the aerospace industry was a highly specialized industry that only people who had studied it could be involved in, but when I met AeroEdge, I was overturned in my thinking. I decided to join AeroEdge because I felt that there would be many places and opportunities for me to challenge myself.
AeroEdge has always been a global company, but recently we have been trying to do even more business. Of course, to start a new job, we need to research the market beforehand, and we also need to communicate with our customers in English. However, English is only one way to do this. Of course, the important thing is to be able to communicate. In order to find a mutually acceptable compromise in a business transaction, we explain our requirements and background, and present a concrete plan, but how much we think about it from the customer’s perspective makes all the difference in how it is conveyed. Even in a single e-mail, I change the expressions (sometimes using pictures and photos) and phrasing, taking into account whether English is a second language for the customer, their cultural background, their role within the company, etc. I think about how I can better convey the message and make the proposal stick. Based on the experience I gained overseas, I am working on these issues together with my team members and challenging myself every day to win new projects.
The appeal of AeroEdge is that we have an environment where we never stop growing, are highly enthusiastic, and are always ready to take on new challenges. We are currently considering the introduction of a new system as a sales negotiation tool suited to this era, and everyone listens to the ideas I come up with. There are a lot of people who agree with my ideas, saying, “That’s interesting! There are many people who agree with me. If you propose something, they will entrust you with the project. It’s very rewarding when your proposal leads to tangible results.

Expanding his career with aerospace experience and helping to train the next generation of nondestructive inspectors both internally and externally
Even before joining AeroEdge, I had gained a lot of experience as a non-destructive testing engineer. I joined AeroEdge because I wanted to work in an environment where I could use my experience and gain even more valuable experience, as I wanted to become a professional nondestructive testing engineer that could be used in Japan and abroad.
AeroEdge has established a production and inspection system that is suitable for the aviation industry business. Being involved in “quality control for the aviation industry” was an unknown challenge for me, but I have learned a lot since joining the company and working with my colleagues. These experiences have greatly advanced my career, and as a result, I have been certified as a PT (Penetrant Testing.) by NANDTB-Japan (Japan Aerospace Non-Destructive Testing Committee). It is used to detect flaws on the surface. Now that I am able to train the next generation of non-destructive inspectors not only within the company but also outside the company, I feel that I can contribute to society and grow as a person.
What I feel most after joining AeroEdge is the importance of teamwork. In particular, I feel that the challenge of obtaining Nadcap certification, an international process certification program for the aerospace industry, and successfully achieving it, was a result of the teamwork of the entire workplace. Overcoming the pressure of the tense audit site as a team was very rewarding and fulfilling, and I was even moved. I hope that everyone can feel the same excitement that I did.

A U-turn to make the most of my work experience in Tokyo. Newly gained expertise in my hometown
I was born and raised in Ashikaga, and after graduating from university, I worked as a sales representative in the distribution industry in Tokyo for nine years. After living and working in Tokyo for a while, I suddenly decided to contribute to my hometown, so I quit my job of 10 years and made a U-turn to Ashikaga. When I was looking for a local company, I listened to an AeroEdge company information session and discovered this cutting-edge company that did not exist when I was growing up, and I was very interested in it. At that time, the company was recruiting for jobs other than clerical work, but I approached the hiring manager myself and was accepted for a clerical job where I could make use of my experience.
When I joined the company, AeroEdge’s personnel evaluation system was still in its infancy and needed to be improved and structured in order to make it a system that would support the growth of employees and the development of the company. The good thing about AeroEdge is that if you have a sense of these issues and propose them to the company, they will let you take on the challenge. I worked on the design of the system based on the company’s thinking and direction, information from the consultants and various employees, and trends in the world. It was very difficult and challenging to implement the HR system flexibly according to the company’s situation, but through the implementation and operation of the system, I have gained a better understanding of the concept, direction, and ideal form of the HR system, and I have gained my own expertise, which is very rewarding.
The concept of the personnel system is to “reward employees for their hard work,” and we will carefully implement the new personnel system and devise ways to explain it to employees so that it will be firmly established in the company and support the growth of employees and the development of the company.
