Yusuke Omae
Career Background
I started my career at Sony Semiconductor Solutions as a software engineer, working on specification development, firmware development, evaluation, and tool development for automotive image sensors. I then transferred to Sony Computer Science Laboratories, where I developed software for and operated optical communication terminals mounted on artificial satellites. In both departments, what I found most rewarding was being able to see things I built actually operating in the physical world.
Why I Joined Turing
Seeing AI performance evolving faster than I could have imagined, I wanted to work at a company closer to AI. Having originally applied to automobile and auto parts manufacturers as a new graduate, I had an interest in the automotive industry. Combined with having known about Turing through social media, I decided to apply.
What I Do
RTOS development for proprietary circuit boards
Development and maintenance of data collection and autonomous driving systems. The scope spans widely from sensor and vehicle body layers to ML domains.
What Makes My Work Rewarding
The range of areas you can be involved in is extremely broad. Internal information is open, so if you take initiative, you can engage with various layers.
I find it fascinating to understand sensor data and connect it cleanly all the way to model training.
I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment when models drive well on the system I developed.
About the Work Environment at Turing
- Internal policies are quickly revised based on feedback, creating an increasingly comfortable work environment
- All employees proactively tackle challenges
- With the in-office-first policy and communication-promoting events (snack gatherings, all-hands meetings, etc.), you can talk with various people in the company, which often sparks new ideas
Who Thrives at Turing
- People who can proactively find and take on work
- People who can thoroughly pursue one thing to the end
- People who can adapt to and enjoy various changes
For Those Considering Turing
The grand challenge of autonomous driving requires accumulated trial and error. Situations change dramatically as a result, and we want to work with people who can enjoy those changes while finding ways to contribute toward achieving our goals. Autonomous driving is realized through the integration of many layers from vehicle body to model. I believe those who do not limit themselves to their own technical domain and actively catch up on other areas will find the work most enjoyable.
