Automotive powertrain and IT development for North American OEMs
AW Technical Center USA is a subsidiary of Aisin-AW focused on powertrain and vehicle IT systems development across five North American locations. The tech stack is heavily manufacturing-operational (WMS, Veeam, Cisco, VMware, Genetec) paired with traditional CAD/CAM tooling (Solidworks, AutoCAD, 3D Scanner) and enterprise backend (Oracle, SQL Server, ASP.NET Core) — a profile consistent with a regulated automotive supplier balancing legacy systems with modern IT infrastructure. Active hiring is concentrated in manufacturing (31 roles) and distributed engineering/ops (16 combined), suggesting scaling of production capacity and process improvement initiatives.
