HIRO Engineering

What HIRO Engineering does

HIRO Engineering (株式会社ヒロ・エンジニアリング) is a Tokyo-based engineering staffing and technical services firm incorporated in May 2015 by Representative Director Koike Akira. Operating from Shinjuku, Tokyo, with deployments primarily in Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures, the company holds Japanese labor dispatch permit 派13-312758 and provides three interconnected services: (1) worker dispatch of mechanical design, electrical/instrumentation design, CAD operators, systems engineers, and administrative staff; (2) design and manufacturing subcontracting covering production equipment, production jigs/tools, and 3D modeling of consumer/health products, available in both on-site and off-site delivery modes; and (3) customized education and training programs in CAD tools (including Rhinoceros), design technology, and OA tools, delivered by instructors with vocational training school teaching experience.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on multi-discipline CAD-based design services across mechanical, electrical/instrumentation, systems, and product design domains, supported by Rhinoceros and other 3D modeling capabilities including point cloud data processing from laser measurement and 3D printing prototyping. The firm had 34 employees as of May 2020 and reported registered capital of ¥27.5 million. In April 2018, HIRO Engineering entered a co-business arrangement with Bestera Co., Ltd., enabling it to leverage Bestera Group resources to broaden customer proposal capacity; this coincided with a capital increase from ¥5 million to ¥27.5 million.

HIRO Engineering's business model is professional services revenue across three streams — dispatch (primary), contracting, and training — priced through salary ranges of ¥180,000–¥320,000/month for technical positions and ¥180,000–¥240,000/month for administrative positions, plus separate position and commuting allowances. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via the company website contact form, complemented by recruitment participation in job fairs and co-marketing with Bestera. The customer base is horizontal across manufacturing, production equipment, plant, and industrial machinery companies, with no named customer logos disclosed. No patents, trademarks, AI/ML capabilities, or external venture funding rounds are present in the data.
