Each February, EWeek, or Engineering Week, shines a spotlight on engineers to increase understanding and interest in engineering.
From industrial and mechanical engineers to computer and electrical engineers, Honda has many engineering jobs. Whether they are designing seats in a vehicle or working out problems on the plant floor, engineers contribute to Honda daily. Read on to find out more about Honda engineers, including what drives their passion for engineering at Honda.
Honda’s culture and core values allow all to have an impact. As a young engineer, many companies would put a lower value on my ideas and potential, but Honda sees it as an opportunity to grow, change and dream.
Samantha Schoenherr, Marysville Auto Plant
I am most proud of my work on the new 2023 Honda Pilot. Although I started working at Honda part-way through the project, I was immediately able to participate in the development! I worked with cross-functional teams to design and test parts to achieve aerodynamic targets. I was really proud to see the new Pilot commercials and see my designs in action!
Nicole Whiting, Marysville Auto Plant
From detailed instruction in the various manufacturing processes within my own plant to a fascinating tour of the impressive HALO Wind Tunnel facility, I am consistently exposed to new ideas and technology that challenge my mind and help me grow as an engineer.
I am most proud of my work in Model Based Development, which involved modeling the climate control systems for simulation and testing. I am drawn to this method of development because of its potential in testing efficiency and creation of logic driven systems.
Jason Chuang, Auto Development Center
My experiences as an engineer at Honda have ranged from overseeing the plant power grid, leading multi-million-dollar projects, being the plant energy lead, managing facilities maintenance and managing plant expansion. The opportunities are endless at Honda!
Michael Gordon, Alabama Auto Plant
I think the field of engineering is where the innovation happens in Honda. I think we have a ton of brilliant individuals, and when they work together, they can create unlimited possibilities now and forever to come.
Through all of my experiences at Honda, I am grateful for the company’s invaluable role in shaping the engineer I have become today and allowing me to pursue the dream of the engineer I still hope to become.
Matt Stang, Honda Development & Manufacturing of America
As an engineer at Honda, one of the opportunities I have experienced is being able to work in a dynamic lab environment. I enjoy getting hands-on experience with my projects, and working through a different challenge each day only adds to the fulfillment I receive.
Jonathan Doubt, South Carolina Mfg.
As Honda moves forward into a new era in the automotive industry, there will be many new challenges to overcome. As engineers, it’s our responsibility to not just identify those problems, but to also provide solutions to them.
There is no limit on what we can do as Honda engineers. We have the opportunity to jump on and attack any problem to benefit the company, new ideas are always welcomed and we can see our work from start to finish to help the company run more efficiently.
Ibrahim Alsalhi, Marysville Auto Plant
I’m a quality engineer by degree, but Honda has allowed me so many opportunities to grow and increase my knowledge and ability as a well-rounded engineer. Working directly with mechanical engineers, design engineers and electrical engineers has increased my ability as a solid contributor to Honda.
Kelly Plikard, Transmission Manufacturing Plant – Ohio
No matter how challenging a project is, our team has each other’s backs. We teach each other, and we grow together. As my tenure grows with Honda, I hope to contribute to Honda’s growth as a company.
Aishwarya Srinidhi, Anna Engine Plant
One of the core functions of engineers is to solve problems and improve efficiency. In an ever-changing world, Honda must have that engineering mindset for constant improvement in efficiency and methodology to stay competitive in the automotive world!
