Summary
Designs and develops aluminum window frames and fittings (sashes), achieving a balance of durability, airtightness, and aesthetics as a technical role.
Description
Aluminum sash design engineers design shapes, cross-sections, and perform calculations for strength, airtightness, and waterproofing performance of aluminum sashes used in building exteriors and around windows. They create drawings using CAD. They ensure compliance with building standards laws and JIS standards while considering manufacturing costs and constructability to achieve optimal designs. They also evaluate prototypes, make improvements, coordinate with suppliers, and attend meetings at construction sites.
Future Outlook
With increasing demands for energy efficiency and environmental performance, demand for high-performance sashes is expected to grow steadily. Adoption of BIM and digital design technologies will also advance.
