Where endless learning begins.
One of our core principles is to “contribute to the prosperity of the next generation through long-term human development.” Our internship program is where we put that principle into practice. How do you apply what you learned in university to real engineering? Take that first step with us and find out.
Our internship program covers both the mindset and the skills needed to deliver value in the real world.
What does it mean to deliver value? How do you build trust? Learn the attitudes and principles of working professionals from experienced engineers.
Learn to structure ambiguous problems and translate them into software design — the core thinking process every engineer needs.
What we value most is a commitment to continuous learning and the willingness to get your hands dirty.
Someone who wants to be better today than yesterday — in both technology and thinking.
Someone who digs deep rather than settling for a surface-level understanding.
Someone who goes beyond just completing tasks — curious about how things work and why. Intellectual curiosity is the starting point of growth as an engineer.
Someone who doesn’t just think — they get their hands dirty and try. There are things you can only learn through that process of trial and error.
At university, you solve your own problems. At work, you solve your customers’ problems — or solve them together with your customers. In other words, you must embrace a fundamental shift in attitude and perspective — from what you want to do and how you feel, to what the other person wants and how they feel. Learning this shift in mindset as a student will positively impact your growth once you enter the workforce. That is why we value not just the deliverables, but the process and thinking behind your work. Being able to think through why you made a decision and explain it in your own words. Being able to ask for guidance honestly when you do not know something. You do not need to be perfect. What matters to us is the attitude of pursuing something better. This is also an opportunity for you to discover whether engineering is the right path for you.
The first wall young engineers hit is not technical. It is personal maturity — managing their own emotions and standing firm in the face of difficulty rather than running away. Whether they can overcome this wall has a profound impact on their subsequent growth. Watch these videos and ask yourself whether you are ready to face that wall — then come.
This video is by Katsuhisa Kinoshita, founder and CEO of Kitanotatsujin Corporation, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market. This video suggests that people who require emotional management from their superiors will be replaced by AI. What we mean by a “true professional” — one of our core work values — is someone who can regulate their own emotions and deliver value with a self-reliant mindset. In this era, it is not only technical skills but personal maturity that determines your worth.
This video is by Gensho Taigu, the 31st head priest of Fukugonji Temple of the Busshin sect, who has given lectures at numerous publicly listed companies including MUFG Bank and Recruit. Being a self-reliant adult also means not running away from the challenges in front of you. The quality we seek — “a sincere approach to problem solving” — is exactly this mindset. When transitioning from university to the professional world, you must shift from solving your own problems to solving your customers’ problems. Growth begins not by running from that challenge, but by facing it head-on.
As AI becomes embedded in every stage of software development, the role of the engineer is changing. What will never change is this: the final deliverable is always the responsibility of a human, not a machine. Read the article below and consider what it means for engineers going forward.
MIT Technology Review: AI trained on AI garbage spits out AI garbage — Oxford University research reveals that AI models trained on AI-generated data progressively lose quality, a phenomenon called “model collapse.” This article highlights a critical truth: machines alone cannot maintain the quality that humans have created throughout history. It is the human ability to notice subtle details, detect when something feels off, and exercise judgment over the final output that prevents this kind of degradation. As an engineer, you are not just someone who writes code — you are the last line of defense for quality. No matter how powerful the tools become, the responsibility for what ships belongs to you.
