[Image Processing Engineer Column] Hardware Engineer
アポロ精工 アポロ精工 新横浜オフィス（旧ケーアイテクノロジー/旧市川ソフトラボラトリー）
Our company's strength lies in being a development company specialized in image processing. We pride ourselves on developing everything in-house, from algorithm development to applications, firmware, device drivers, and hardware. Sometimes we are asked, "Which is more important, hardware engineers or software engineers?" or "Which is more difficult?" While I can convey the benefits of having both within the same company, I have never compared or chosen one over the other. Additionally, while things change with the times, I will intentionally write about it in this column. It is not about superiority or inferiority, but rather a comparison. Comparison Items Software Engineers Hardware Engineers 1) Learning Period 1 year 5-10 years 2) Required Number Many Few 3) Knowledge of Other Field Not required Essential 4) Development Tools Many options Few options 5) Expression Languages Many options Few options While comparisons can be made, it is not about superiority or hierarchy. Furthermore, comments on each item were significantly different 20 years ago. I would like to revisit this topic in 10 years. *News is distributed through our company's newsletter.
