Recruitment information Q&A

We believe that what you all learned at university was how to study and how to approach assignments.
At our company, we place great importance on the fundamental ability to think critically.

At our company, we value "the ability to think." Therefore, we do not require any specific expertise or qualifications. However, in order to achieve results, basic knowledge and skills, as well as a challenging spirit, will be necessary.

While it's not a required qualification for joining the company, it will undoubtedly become an essential skill in the future, given globalization.

At our company, our overseas staff handle a wide range of tasks. Therefore, in addition to foreign language skills, they will need broad knowledge of trade practices and mental toughness. Of course, these are things that can be gradually acquired while working.

Typical examples include the measurement and analysis of combustion and fuel efficiency, which are gaining attention as environmental measures for automobiles. For example, our technology is needed at the forefront of environmental measures, such as direct injection in gasoline engines and pilot injection in diesel engines. Furthermore, our technology is highly anticipated for measurement and analysis in the development of automobiles such as EVs (electric vehicles) and HVs (hybrid vehicles).

Some devices measure dimensions and displacements. Additionally, while not sensors themselves, there are optical sensing technologies such as vibration meters and speedometers using laser Doppler technology.

In addition to the fuel efficiency and exhaust gas countermeasures for automobiles mentioned earlier, noise and vibration countermeasures are technologies used in a very wide range of applications, including automobiles, home appliances, office equipment, houses, and buildings. We are actively developing our services related to sound and vibration, including measurement and consulting.

With bases in the US, China, India, and Thailand, the company exports to almost all regions, including Southeast Asia and South America. Its main products include automotive performance measurement systems and FFT analyzers.

Our expertise extends to measuring and analyzing acoustics and vibrations, which is useful not only for measuring automotive performance but also for reducing noise in home appliances and other devices. In this way, we develop products across a wide range of fields, and are involved in the development of many new products that are familiar to you every day.

In cases involving custom-made products from manufacturers' development departments, sales representatives may not be able to handle the technical aspects. In such situations, "sales engineers" accompany sales representatives to technical specification meetings, handle coordination, and prepare quotations. This is a role often filled by individuals with a technical background.

You might think Ono Sokki 's products are complicated, but in reality, most of our sales staff come from liberal arts backgrounds. (While product knowledge is necessary for sales, it's something you acquire on the job.) We also have overseas business operations. Some people who are involved in sales go on to excel in product planning. In addition, many of the people working in departments such as information systems, general affairs and human resources, and legal affairs also come from liberal arts backgrounds.

Overseas sales representatives may be responsible for local subsidiaries and overseas distributors, or they may be directly responsible for customers. Their responsibilities with distributors and customers primarily include product explanations, quotations, and negotiation of trading terms. They also plan and conduct presentations at overseas trade shows. Since they compete with European and American manufacturers, researching the products of such companies is essential.

Your assignment will be determined based on a combination of your preferences and the company's training policies. Furthermore, to help develop your fundamental technical skills, we may intentionally implement "cross-assignment" strategies, such as assigning a mechanical engineering graduate to electrical circuit design. Therefore, please understand that your assignment preferences may not be 100% fulfilled.

There are no specific qualifications required to work in research and development. The type of work you do depends on your abilities, motivation, and aptitude. At our company, there are very few jobs that are solely focused on research, unlike in the research laboratories of large companies. Even when we proceed with technology development first, the developers are responsible for bringing it to market. Furthermore, we use a small project team system for product development and design, so each design engineer is responsible for both technology development and design. Therefore, most people in technical positions are involved in development-related work. It's just a matter of the amount of work they do.

You are welcome to apply. However, please be aware that we will evaluate your application in the same way we evaluate science and engineering graduates who have studied technology at university, so it will require considerable effort and motivation.

There is a possibility of being transferred. However, there is no system in place that mandates transfers at regular intervals.
Once a year, employees have the opportunity to report their future career aspirations to HR, including their preferences regarding work location. Personnel changes are made based on these reports and in line with the company's strategy.

We aim to cultivate "autonomous professionals." This requires "a willingness to learn independently" and "broad knowledge plus high-level expertise." Based on this human resource vision, our company plans to systematically combine hierarchical training, field-specific training, and on-the-job training (OJT) to support individual skill development.

After joining the company, all employees participate in group training sessions covering business etiquette, company structure, departmental introductions, and basic product and service knowledge. Following this, they gain experience working in various departments and offices, learning the company's workflow and essential knowledge and skills through hands-on experience.
During the training period, we will take into account the employee's preferred placement, and after an interview with HR, the placement will be determined taking into account the company's intentions.
