Ranked first in the world for research and development in the Global Competitiveness Report 2019, Japan is renowned as a high-tech nation, with a thirst for innovation, technology and engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite a population of almost 130 million, Japan\u2019s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry forecasts that the country will face a shortfall of 789,000 software engineers by 2030 \u2013 a gap that non-Japanese engineers will be fully qualified to fill.\nIf you\u2019re considering pursuing an engineering career in Japan, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

What are the most in-demand engineering jobs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p><\/h4>\n

<\/p><\/h5>\n

Growth in software-based technologies and web-based services has seen demand for skilled engineers who can work for forward-thinking organizations rise significantly over the last few years.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a fun fact too \u2013 Japan is home to the largest number of industrial robots in operation in the world \u2013 so if your programming language skills are first-class, this can put you in good stead for working as a system engineer.<\/p>\n

Daijob.com and GaijinPot Jobs are useful sites for searching for jobs which don\u2019t necessarily require language skills. Many of the jobs listed are for international companies or Japanese companies which have strong international ties.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h4>\n

Location is an important factor<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h4>\n

Japan boasts some of the world\u2019s leading engineering and technology companies.\nIn Tokyo, you\u2019ll find the headquarters for the likes of Mitsubishi Motors, Honda, Sony, Hitachi, Nikon, and Canon Inc., among others, while the city of Kyoto is home to world-renowned high-tech companies, including the world\u2019s leading game company, Nintendo, motor company Nidec, and electronics manufacturers Kyocera, and Murata.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h4>\n

Location can have a real influence on how successful you are in finding promising job opportunities and salary expectations (more on salaries later).\nWhile opportunities for those who are from overseas and are qualified for the role tend to be in or around Tokyo, engineering job opportunities are some of the most prosperous across the country.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h4>\n

<\/p><\/h5>\n

What about salary and working hours?<\/strong>\n
\nJapan is known for its strong work culture. However, the habits of the hard-working nation are changing as recent government policy has proposed reducing overtime and encouraging workers to take more vacation time.\n
\nOne thing to keep in mind regarding salary prospects is they\u2019re massively dependent on the type of job role, as well as your previous experience, skills and education.\n
\nIf you have a bachelor\u2019s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, such as mechanical and electrical system engineering, it\u2019s likely that you can expect a starting annual salary of around \u00a56 million (~US$56,900) to \u00a510 million (~US$95,000).\nOutside traditional engineering disciplines, entry-level pay range for engineers in IT for example, is around \u00a54 million (~US$37,600) to \u00a56 million (~US$56,400) a year.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h5>\n

<\/p><\/p>\n

Experience is required<\/strong>\n
\nThis may not be true all the time, but JobQ, a Japanese career-advice website, says that Japanese firms consider practical experience as the most important factor when it comes to hiring. And of course, that\u2019s easier said than done when you\u2019ve been studying for the last three-four years. Where (and when) are you supposed to find the time to get the experience?\n
\nFortunately, many degree programs, such as the mechanical and electrical system engineering degree at KUAS, integrate practical learning experiences, like the capstone project.\n
\nKUAS\u2019s strong links with over 50 companies in Japan allows students the unique opportunity to work with such organizations, and train to become in-demand street-smart global engineers, equipped with the critical problem-solving and communication skills needed to work across every industry around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h5>\n

You\u2019ll need a visa too<\/strong>\n
\nBefore even getting a job, you will need to have a Certificate of Eligibility, issued by Japan's Ministry of Justice. Only once you have received this can you submit your visa application. To find out more about this you will need to contact your country\u2019s Japanese embassy.\n
\nOnce you have this, you\u2019ll need to obtain a highly skilled professional working visa in order to accept an offer for such a position, whether it\u2019s permanent or fixed-term.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/h5>\n

A good understanding of Japanese will help your application get noticed<\/strong>\n
\nIf you\u2019re serious about pursuing a career in Japan, then you should also be serious about learning the language. Some engineering jobs will require a higher level of language proficiency, whereas some Japanese organizations have started to relax stricter language requirements in order to help fill the growing gap in certain engineering roles.<\/p>\n
