WE RUN ON BRAINPOWER WEBSITE SHOWCASES MICHIGAN OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGINEERS
At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit this past January, automotive companies made several global vehicle debuts. Behind those vehicles are nearly 53,000 mechanical and industrial engineers in Michigan, more than any other state employs. Add designers and other engineering roles into the mix and it’s clear that brainpower in Michigan is developing some pretty amazing technology.
To explore careers and innovations in Michigan, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation launched werunonbrainpower.org. The site features content relevant to those in engineering careers or thinking about engineering such as “Day in the Life” videos that share the story of a game designer who moved to Michigan and now is an innovation leader at an automotive supplier; engineers working on innovative thermal modeling that relates to the auto and garment industries; and Q&As with corporate leadership who share why Michigan is a great place for engineers to be.
“There is a wealth of talent in Michigan that we’re drawing from, but we still need people, especially for the really niche areas in engineering,” says Tony Kmeid, vice president of Faurecia, North America’s sixth largest supplier to the auto industry.
Faurecia employs more than 4,800 people in 12 locations in Michigan and has been actively expanding. Its footprint in Michigan includes four research and development centers.
“There’s a lot of competition out there when you consider Michigan is more than just home to the ‘Detroit Three,’ [and] home to a huge network of suppliers, tech companies and the North American operations for foreign- based auto manufacturers. Everyone is tapping into this region because of the talent that is here,” says Kmeid, who oversees research and development centers in the U.S. and Mexico for Faurecia that specialize in seating, interior systems, emission control technologies and exterior pieces.
“We’re attracting a lot of young talent through our relationships with universities in Michigan and by offering short-term and long-term internships to help groom that talent,” he adds.
Sampling of careers available in Michigan include:
• LG Chem Power - Embedded Software Development Engineer.
• Valeo - System Test Validation Engineer.
• CyberCoders - Process Engineer - Aerospace.
