What salary range?

 

It is automotive mechanical engineering salary range based on your experience. Toyota makes sure their salaries are on the higher side of the industry average. Apply and ask our HR. It's not in my group so I don't know the particulars of the salary. Just figured I would prefer to work with WERA people, so I posted it

 

I'm the wrong kind of engineer, but Toyota's hybrid system is outstanding and I've heard they are a good company to work for.

I wish they made motorcycles though...

 

What kind of engineer are you? You never know what position will open up next. Send me a message if you want privacy.
I loved racing and the WEAR people were the most fun in my opinion. Racers and crew have a great understanding of performance, durability, and problem solving that is not common anymore. Also, I like working with motorcycle racers so I am being a little selfish here.

 

I hope someone from this forum gets to take advantage of this opportunity!

Side note, someone from Toyota NA reached out to us regarding our drain plug for mobile service. We manufacture a drain plug that allows you to drain oil without having to remove the drain plug.

Maybe I'll meet you one day if I ever get to visit.

 

Good luck finding the hire! Sounds like a fun position.
