Anyone hiring in Japan

2 points by wyndyl 7 years ago | 2 comments

Hi all,

First if this is the wrong place to ask this question I apologize :)

I'm starting the process of trying to find some work in Japan. I'm finishing a PhD in Electrical Engineering (submitting dissertation in April, but can start work before that). I've also worked for a startup company in America that I helped start that focused on commercializing infrared micro-display screens.

Work experience includes: mixed signal PCB, embedded systems, high speed board design (HyperLynx post analysis), analog electronic design (most difficult design I did used an LMH5401 FDA), software engineering (Python, C, C++, Javascript, d3.js), network engineering (worked in IT for a while and maintain company servers), VLSI ASIC design (Cadence Vituoso), Program management (ran a phase 1 and Air Force SBIR), data anlaysis and visualization, I also like building simulations of circuits and optical components. I've mostly worked on opto-electronics designs in terms of hardware.

I like working in teams and also building / leading effective teams.

Will work hard because I like working hard :)

portfolio website: joshmarks.xyz (I'm updating slowly with new project write-ups)

If you have any leads I'd appreciate it!

Thanks all!

I worked for Honeywell out of Tokyo in the late 1990's, they treated their international staff extremely well. I repeatedly traveled to mainland China, South Korea, Singapore, and all over Japan as an engineer working on industrial metal and plastic measurement using radiation. They arranged for multiple re-entry business visas, so the international travel was no problem - there were actually days when I went to the office and they handed me airplane tickets before I got coffee. I suggest sending "desire-to-relocate" cover letters with resumes to large firms with offices overseas if this seems interesting.

Just the namespace is a bit off: your "Ask HN: " prefix is missing, that's all.
