Teru Tsukakoshi

Custom Design Block Manager, Joined the company in 1999

Reasons for joining the company
I was conducting stress measurements using X-rays in a university research lab. My interest stemmed not from the products themselves, but from the measuring instruments used in their creation.

Career Steps

1999
Year of employment and training
I was involved in the software development of a new FFT tachometer product.

2000
I was officially assigned to the Sensor Applications Division.
I was responsible for the design and preliminary testing of the mechanical parts of catalog products.
I was involved in adding oil-resistant functionality and learned about explosion-proof structures.

In 2002, the organization was restructured into the Engine Test Machine Group.
I was in charge of designing the engine bench control panel.

In 2007, I was in charge of the mechanical design of an exhaust gas analyzer.
We are challenging ourselves in new fields through joint development with other companies.

2017
I was assigned to the Systems SE group.

As a specialist in system products (various automotive testing equipment)

Up until now, I have mainly been in charge of planning the control panels and dynamometers used in various automotive tests. A dynamometer applies a shaft torque load to the engine or other test specimen.
Load tests are conducted during development and production inspections to measure the capabilities of the test specimen (such as output, fuel efficiency, and exhaust emissions).
At our company, we are involved in almost all systems that include dynamometers, and we are pursuing a career as specialists in system products.

Catalog products/system products, software/mechanical design and experience

At our company, technical staff undergo a training period from joining the company until the end of the year, gaining experience in various tasks at a temporary assignment. While I majored in mechanical engineering during my student days, at my temporary assignment, I was also responsible for software aspects such as algorithm evaluation in the development of an FFT tachometer. Since then, I've been involved in the mechanical design of catalog products such as rotary pickups, torque sensors, and linear gauges. Even after moving to my current department for system products, I've taken on a wide range of roles, including not only mechanism design but also instrumentation circuit design for control panels and PLC ladder programming. Furthermore, I've always sought new challenges, such as participating in joint development projects with other companies. Since April 2016, I've been working full-time as a systems engineer.
