Four Roles That Keep Manufacturing Moving
Sales engineering, design, machining, and assembly: each role connects to bring dies and special-purpose machines into physical form.
We Want
The people we want to work with.
We value attitude more than skills or experience. MUTSUMI is looking for people with these three qualities.
01
Want to take on challenges
Someone who approaches new things and difficult challenges with a positive attitude.
02
Can work as part of a team
A workplace where design, machining, and assembly collaborate closely. For people who can move work forward while cooperating with those around them.
03
Can think independently
Do more than follow instructions: think for yourself and put your ideas into practice.
What is distinctive about MUTSUMI INDUSTRY
Build good products as a team
People do not carry issues alone; they cooperate across departments with a shared aim of making better products.
Take on new technologies, including AI and IT
We look beyond dies and special-purpose machines to apply AI and IT and take on new challenges.
Colleagues are approachable and it is easy to share ideas
Regardless of position or years of service, it is easy to ask for advice and share daily observations and improvement proposals.
SALES / TECHNICAL CONTACT
Listen to the challenge and connect it to engineering.
This role first receives the customer’s difficulty. You connect what you hear to in-house design and manufacturing and work together through to a solution. You also handle quotations, delivery-date coordination, and overseas projects.
- Respond to inquiries and gather customer requirements
- Quotation and delivery-date coordination
- Internal coordination with design and manufacturing
- Communication for overseas projects
A good fit for people who enjoy talking with people and are interested in manufacturing and machines, and who enjoy researching and learning what they do not yet know.

DESIGN
Turn drawings into something that works on the floor.
Design dies and special-purpose machines. Respond to customer requests, use simulation technology to verify risks in advance, and consider a form that is easy to use on the floor. Being able to consult sales and manufacturing colleagues immediately is another attraction of the role.
- Die and special-purpose machine design
- Risk verification with simulation technology
- Creating drawings and parts lists
- Aligning specifications with the workplace
A good fit for people who enjoy thinking of new ideas and learning new things, and who can concentrate on work at their own pace. CAD experience is welcome, but careful support makes it possible to start with confidence even without prior experience.
