Industry & Occupation
Classification
- Major : Research and Technical Occupations
- Middle : Development Engineers
- Minor : Other Development Engineers
Summary
Technical role responsible for designing and developing bathroom equipment such as unit baths for homes and buildings.
Description
Bathroom equipment design engineers design and develop bathroom equipment such as unit baths, kitchens, and vanity tops. Based on market and customer needs, they define product specifications and create drawings using 2D/3D CAD or BIM software. Leveraging knowledge of fluid dynamics and materials mechanics, they calculate pipe diameters and structural strength, and perform designs considering waterproof performance, durability, and constructability. Key tasks include prototype creation and evaluation, verification of compliance with laws and regulations (JIS, PSE, etc.), cost optimization, and collaboration with manufacturing departments, quality assurance departments, and on-site construction personnel. They contribute to enhancing product competitiveness by adopting the latest materials, energy-saving technologies, and advancing DX initiatives.
Future Outlook
Stable demand growth is anticipated due to rising renovation needs for residential and commercial facilities and expanding requirements for improved water resistance and durability. The market value of talent adept in BIM and DX will increase further.
