North American tire manufacturer for automotive OEM and aftermarket channels
Yokohama Tire operates a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint in North America, with heavy reliance on CAD/CAM tools (SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, Windchill) and industrial automation platforms (Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi Electric, Rockwell Automation, PLC). Active hiring skews engineering and operations—reflecting concurrent focus on tire uniformity, defect reduction, and equipment procurement—while pain-point data reveals classic manufacturing friction: downtime, compound processing consistency, and non-conformance tracking.
Yokohama Tire Corporation manufactures and markets tires for the North American market, serving OEM and aftermarket channels across high-performance, light truck, passenger car, and commercial vehicle segments. Founded in 1969 as the North American arm of Tokyo-based The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. (established 1917), the company operates from Santa Ana, California with 1,001–5,000 employees. Product development centers on tire formulation, cure specifications, and uniformity—supported by a sales network and marketing calendar anchored to car shows and motorsports events. The organization is actively hiring across engineering, sales, and operations roles, predominantly at mid-level positions.
Yokohama Tire's stack includes SolidWorks, PTC Creo, and CATIA for product design; Windchill for PLM; Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi Electric, and Rockwell Automation for factory automation; Minitab for quality analysis; and Salesforce for CRM and sales operations.
Yokohama Tire Corporation is headquartered in Santa Ana, California and operates as the North American manufacturing and marketing subsidiary of The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo, Japan.
