Work Detail
[Features] To achieve high design quality, high performance, lightweight and high-strength bodies in a timely manner, we are seeking professional personnel with advanced, specialized knowledge of press technology. [Job Description] [Overview] Production technology engineers responsible for press mass production lines incorporate production and quality know-how from the product development and design stages to prepare for the production of high-value-added, low-cost press dies and press equipment, in order to provide customers with inexpensive and high-quality products in a short period of time. They participate in product design, prototyping, and evaluation, and are involved in production preparation and mass production verification, contributing to the improvement of Toyota's global competitiveness. They are also developing groundbreaking new press forming methods and processes to meet the demands of high design quality, weight reduction, and high strength in vehicle designs, as well as the major structural changes in vehicle to adapt to the CASE era. Through the development and introduction of new measurement and evaluation technologies, they uncover unknown phenomena in press processing, quantify quality, and contribute to the creation of high-quality, low-cost cars. [Details] Press production preparation and production technology development (Production preparation planning, SE (Simultaneous Engineering), die face design, mold design, process adjustment, equipment introduction, elemental technology development) ■Expected role for this position: Member, Team Leader, Manager [Background of Recruitment] To respond to the significant changes surrounding automobiles in recent years, the following is necessary: ① Efficiently carrying out press production preparation for general vehicles, which are currently the mainstream. ② Establishing production processes for press parts with new added value necessary for next-generation "vehicles." To achieve these quickly, we are seeking individuals with high technical and management skills who can transform conventional production preparation operations and create new production processes. Recruitment [Workplace Image & Mission] [Workplace Image] This department is responsible for press and welding production technology worldwide, and consists of 7 offices and 4 sections, including planning, SE, process development, and development. It is the largest department within the company.
