Opportunity to develop the battery for the next generation while acquiring the synergy of Hitachi Group.

  • One of the merits in being involved in the development of lithium ion battery at Hitachi Vehicle Energy, Ltd. is that you can work on the cutting edge technology development. This is because we can expect a synergy effect by cooperating with the various Hitachi Group. Actually, the lithium ion battery development for Hybrid-Electric Vehicles is making daily progress as a result of the cooperation among the corporate laboratory which is the bearer of Hitachi's research development, the Hitachi's Automotive Systems which is handling the vehicle installation system and parts development, and the Hitachi Chemical which is strong in chemical materials.
  • Moreover, a very high safety standard is required for the lithium ion battery because it becomes a part of an automobile. There are various needs since the specifications differ depending on the car model. It is difficult to compare the feeling of accomplishment as the sense of responsibility is enormous. I would also like you to experience this sense of fulfillment.

The attraction of Hitachi is the attractive people.
The frank office environment makes the exchange of opinions active.

  • There are people with various knowledge at Hitachi. It is possible to learn a lot of things when you are working in such an environment. In addition, it is also possible to share the knowledge that you possess with the people around you. Consequently, I feel that it is a workplace where we can mutually grow.
  • Besides, I truly feel that it is such a frank working atmosphere. There are absolutely no barriers differentiating Technology, Planning/Development, Evaluation and so forth, and exchange of opinion is very common regardless of the divisions and positions. This is a great environment for engineers to be able to develop without any constraints. I am also working extremely freely even to the point where I feel that it's too relaxed.
