Forward Deployed Engineer (Leader/Senior) .EV

■仕事概要
■ Mission
“Hacking real-world friction as a consultant who writes code”
A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) does not work only in front of a PC.
We go deep into our clients’ manufacturing sites (factories and laboratories) and uncover the real problems hidden in messy processes and human relationships.
What is required is more than programming skill.
You must be able to talk with customers, understand the business context, and turn that into implementable solutions using modern technologies (Snowflake, dbt, Python, etc.).
We expect you to grow into a high-value hybrid professional who can bridge consulting-level logical thinking and engineering execution, and take ownership of the entire process—from problem discovery to design, implementation, and value creation.

■ Example Responsibilities
Work with the CEO, Lead Engineers, PMs, and others to deliver projects. While handling both technical implementation and client communication, you will drive work end-to-end: structuring problems, designing solutions, implementing, and deploying.
Client-facing
Problem Solving (Consulting)

• Interview client stakeholders to identify workflow bottlenecks and data requirements
• Use dashboards and analyses you create to explain findings logically and propose next actions
• Quickly learn manufacturing domains and structure problems clearly

Data & AI Implementation (Engineering
AI)

• Implement data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL/ELT) using Python and SQL
• Design and test data transformation logic using dbt
• Build AI workflows and agents, tune LLM algorithms, and evaluate accuracy
• Support deployment in client environments and assist decision-making

On-site Adoption & Relationship Building (On-site Growth)

• Build trust with domain experts on site (such as plant managers) and promote data usage
• Work closely with frontline teams and drive continuous improvement cycles

Solution Development & Scaling

• Abstract and generalize knowledge from multiple projects into reusable solutions
• Improve and scale products and services across clients

■ Why This Role
Company

• Directly contribute to improving the competitiveness of Japan’s manufacturing industry through data and technology
• Help shape new ways of working for engineers in the AI era, such as FDE and Data Science roles, while practicing them
• Be involved in launching products and platforms from scratch, leveraging experience in IT projects and system development
