indie Semiconductor, Inc. extended its market reach and building a strategic presence in Japan. The company has created a Kabushiki Kaisha, or KK, and recently hired semiconductor industry veteran Yasuyuki Arai to lead its Japanese sales and marketing initiatives from Tokyo. Arai was previously Head of Marketing for RF and Sensors at Infineon Technologies Japan KK with responsibility for managing and growing Infineon's radar, Time of Flight and MEMS portfolio for automotive, consumer and industrial markets.

Prior to Infineon, he was with Atmel and Freescale in various sales, marketing and operational roles. Arai achieved a master's degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Osaka University. indie's user experience platforms are ideally suited for the Japanese market, particularly as manufacturers strive to make transportation more personal, creating vehicle cabins equipped to improve passenger experiences with lighting, personal device connectivity and charging.

For ADAS, indie is focused on disruptive technologies that will accelerate mass market deployment of highly integrated LiDAR, radar, computer vision and ultrasound sensor solutions.
