Mechanical jobs and career trends in the automotive industry

Industry Trends for Mechanical-related Jobs

Digitalization of design work

To meet the increasing complexity of products and the demand for quick delivery and cost reduction, most machines in the automotive industry require design engineers to master not only mechanical engineering but also various digital technologies, including the use of CAD software such as 3D CAD and simulation tools.

Importance of mechatronics engineers

In recent years, IOT, in which automobiles are connected to the Internet, such as automated driving, has been accelerating, and automobiles are becoming increasingly electronic, including connected services. As a result, the demand for mechatronics engineers with knowledge not only in mechanical engineering but also in electronics and computing is increasing.

Automation and Population Intelligence

Efforts are also underway to use artificial intelligence to shorten the design process, and the automotive industry is focusing on AI-based design optimization, automation, and design prediction and improvement.
