SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Global automotive supplier DENSO is continuing to recruit for key engineering and mobility roles for experienced and entry-level talent at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress Experience 17(WCX17), April 4-6 at Cobo Center in Detroit.

DENSO successfully met and surpassed some of its hiring goals at the company’s onsite recruiting center at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January.

Attendees looking for their next career move will have the opportunity to talk with DENSO recruiters and hiring managers at its booth in WCX17 Career Central, along with DENSO’s main booth #3002. DENSO will recruit for experienced and entry-level engineering talent for its North American operations in the U.S. and Canada.

“We are in growth mode and taking advantage of an ideal opportunity to recruit diverse and innovative new employees who can help DENSO drive the future of mobility and the automotive industry, said Stacy Gallucci SPHR, senior manager, North America Talent Acquisition, DENSO International America. “With DENSO’s changing product mix and goal to move deeper into advanced 21st-century safety systems and autonomous-drive technologies, we need specialized talent with new engineering skills.”

While recruiting at WCX17, DENSO seeks to fill important engineering and mobility roles, including an engineering manager and experts in cyber security, HMI, computer vision, and computer and software engineering. DENSO also has roles to fill for mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and software and computer engineers, as well as co-op engineering students. Over the past several years, DENSO has filled more than 400 professional positions a year. DENSO currently has more than 100 open positions to fill in these areas.

DENSO Mentors  
DENSO is also participating in the WCX17 University Program on April 4 to 6. Students from local universities will be paired with engineer mentors from DENSO and Ford Motor Company to expose them to careers in technology.

“DENSO’s future and the future of mobility comes from new engineering graduates,” said Doug Patton, executive vice president, Engineering and chief technical officer, DENSO International America (DIAM) and SAE International president. “One of DENSO’s top priorities is to have a strong co-op program so students can gain the experience they need to be sought after candidates for entry-level positions once they graduate. We’ve had great success in training future DENSO employees with our co-op program. This will also help DENSO navigate the shortage of engineers in the Detroit area.”
