Field Applications Engineer. <summary> Semiconductor engineer experience as FAE(Field Applications Engineer) and project management at international semiconductor companies in Japan, in charge of local customer support for about 20 years. Day-to-day work includes: Product proposals / introductions / presentations to customers, communications with overseas headquarter, technical & quality support, regular customer visits etc. Always focus on design-in/win and sometimes do misc tasks beside it to make the ball rolling towards the goal. Have been in the international environment for years and no Japanese accent in my English, rich vocabulary and topics help the communication with the headquarter which is highly valued by them and local customers. Still my native language is Japanese. Basic character is engineer so I like new technologies and solve difficult problems, logically and objectively. Deep understanding for a unique company culture of Japanese and I can negotiate patiently and efficiently with the understanding of both sides of stories. Although I am an engineer, always facing customers and talk various things other than engineer talk, I also have a good balance of pricing and communication. Product application areas of experience; Optical network devices (laser, photo diode-related, DVD pick up drive), high speed network ICs (bridge/converter/signal conditioner etc), analog IC for image diagnostic medical equipment, audio (amplifiers/DSPs), FPGA, power IC (IGBT) for EV/HEV, and CPU for car navigation systems. - professional tour guide in Japan (2015-2016) Qualified Japanese guide, more than 200+ people private tours, including 'must-see Tokyo tours', Kamakura, Nikko, Japanese craft beer pub crawling, Tsukiji Fish Market early morning, Shrines & Temples, Akihabara anime tour, horseback riding tour in the country side etc...
