Job Description

① Department's Development Area, Business Overview, and Role/Position within R&D

As automobiles become more high-performance with the increasing adoption of electrification and autonomous driving technologies, brake systems must constantly evolve. Therefore, we conduct end-to-end development of brake systems to be installed in next-generation vehicles, from system configuration design to component development. (e.g., development of regenerative cooperative control using electric brake boosters and electric parking brake systems, and brake systems to support driving assistance functions). We also develop high-performance brake systems for Nissan's representative sports cars such as the GT-R.

② Specific Job Responsibilities and Expected Role/Position within and outside the Department

You will lead the design of brake system configurations for new vehicles, the study of component characteristics and specifications, and joint component development with suppliers. You will also develop the vehicle's brake system in collaboration with related brake control systems and autonomous driving support systems. In the vehicle and component evaluation phases, you will be required to collaborate with suppliers and internal testing personnel to solve various technical challenges, and you are expected to take a leading role in these activities.

③ Workplace Environment/Working Style (Member Composition, Workplace Atmosphere, Characteristics)

While many engineers have mechanical and control backgrounds, members with diverse backgrounds such as electrical and chemical engineering also work together. From young to veteran, and with diverse nationalities, individuals with various opinions and skills work together towards the same goal, pushing forward with a sense of unity and challenge. There are also many opportunities to collaborate with Nissan's overseas development bases and alliance partners' engineers.

Appeal Points (Job Attractiveness)

① Personal Growth, Acquirable Skills, and Job Satisfaction through the Role

You can gain broad and deep experience in brake systems, from system design to component development. Through development with Nissan's overseas bases, suppliers, and alliance partners, you can acquire international communication skills and knowledge of the world's cutting-edge technology trends.
