A Day in the Life

Standard Day Shift

I truly enjoy our way of working—even when facing challenging tasks, we tackle them together as a team in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere!

With both standard weekends off and company-specific holidays, it's very easy to plan personal time and use it effectively. I love spending time on local activities with my family to refresh and recharge from the daily grind.

Rotating Shift (Day Shift)

I love that I can take consecutive days off even during the week, which gives me more time to focus on my hobbies and personal interests!

Seeing products that use components I helped manufacture on store shelves gives me a real sense of accomplishment. I enjoy local activities with my family to unwind, and on my days off, I love going shopping to refresh my mood.

Rotating Shift (Night Shift)

A premium is provided for both day and night shifts!

Our rotating shift system follows a '3 days on, 3 days off' schedule, which means plenty of personal time! While the working hours per day are longer, it allows for a clear distinction between work and life. I’m really happy that I can spend so much of my time on the things I love.
