The application of high-tech such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in the mechanical parts processing industry has rapidly emerged, making traditional precision machinery processing factories snap up scientific and technological talents, and they have given excellent annual salary and provided other favorable conditions. The average annual salary of a well-known Japanese precision machinery processing factoryis 8.2 million yen. The new performance pay system is the unpaid salary limit, and the annual salary of employees is expected to exceed 30 million yen.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, Japan will face a shortage of talent in the field of AI mechanical parts processing in 2020. The scarcity of manpower for intelligent mechanical parts has increased the salary of relevant talents. In the past three years, the annual salary of these talents has increased by an average of 19%, an increase of 11% higher than the average of all industries. As early as 2016, Toyota established a branch office for the development of intelligent mechanical parts processing in the United States, and joined the former Google machine department head Kaufner and other well-known researchers to join the newly established AI mechanical parts processing R & D team. Therefore, since the summer of 2017, many start-up companies have taken the initiative to raise a salary of about 1 million yen for senior engineers in the company in order to prevent other precision machinery processing factories from digging people.
It is reported that American mechanical parts processing companies also offer high-paying strategies to retain AI talents. The annual salary and bonus of senior engineers of American technology-based precision machinery processing plants generally reach 300,000 to 350,000 US dollars (about 33 million to 38 million yen). The outstanding performers even reached $500,000 (about 55.5 million yen). Of course, Japan's precision machinery processing plants are subject to the strict wage system in China, and there is a certain gap between the wages of mechanical parts processing and the international market. Therefore, many mechanical parts processing enterprises give new talents more authority and freedom, and hope to attract talents.
