There are fewer and fewer professional positions in machinery, what about Chinese manufacturing?

Therefore, manufacturing is no longer purely manufacturing. To learn mechanics, you also need to understand computers and artificial intelligence. In September 2019, when a well-known automobile company recruited and allocated places, it focused on graduates majoring in computer science, and there were very few places allocated to vehicles and machinery. The company explained: The automobile market is facing unprecedented downward pressure. The company is undergoing transformation and adjustment, and the recruitment needs are also adjusted accordingly. There is no demand for majors such as vehicle engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial design.
On the official website of FAW-Volkswagen, whether it is campus recruitment or social recruitment, the positions provided are mostly computer-related, for example, intelligent networking product engineer, assistant manager of the Internet of Vehicles, software testing engineer, system development engineer, digital business specialist, etc. . Some of these positions involve software design, while others involve algorithm research. Few involve traditional mechanical manufacturing.
In 2011, domestic media reported that FAW-Volkswagen employees were given year-end bonuses for 27 months, and even employees with double monthly salary received 63 months of salary in a year. But in less than ten years, why has the industry become sluggish? Can\'t even offer jobs in this profession?
In fact, the entire manufacturing industry faces such challenges. Whether it is international automakers such as Honda, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Ford, or domestic companies such as BAIC, Changan, and Geely, they are all conducting research and development of autonomous vehicles and investing in autonomous driving companies. In the previous program, we talked about that, from the perspective of the market, the hardware has developed to today, and the price difference can no longer be sold, and the price can only be compared between the millimeters. You sell it for 100 yuan, and I sell it for 99 yuan. How can we raise the price of the product to a higher level? It must be intelligent. Therefore, many car manufacturers today want to make cars as intelligent devices as mobile phones.
In addition to the challenges of intelligence, traditional car styles have also begun to change. In the past, complex mechanical structures such as complex engines and gearboxes were required. Now, when you go to the market and buy a Tesla, all the accessories are electric, the energy is batteries, and the engine becomes an electric motor. simplify. Just like Steve Jobs took the first iPhone and announced the end of the era of feature phones and the beginning of the era of smartphones.
