It's not just Chrysler, Ford and GM any more. Detroit has also become a major engineering center for foreign makers as diverse as Mercedes-Benz and India’s Tata Motors. And now, three
of the largest Asian makers are stepping up hiring as they expand their Motor City R&D centers.
Collectively, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai expect to add nearly 400 employees in the Detroit suburbs this year, with
additional engineering-related jobs to be offered in 2013 and beyond. The only problem: engineers needed. “We haven’t hired any new engineers in three or four years,” said Carla
Bailo, president of Nissan Technical Center North America. “We have a lot of very good senior engineers. But we need to bring on new and emerging talent.”
