Why This Role Is Unique:

This position is more than interpreting, it is about building connections. You will play an

important role in helping our Japanese team members succeed at work while also helping their

the United States, making this a unique and rewarding position that combines technical

interpretation with people-focused support.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced manufacturing

• Provide spoken interpretation between Japanese and English for meetings, training, production

activities, and daily communication.

• Interpret technical discussions related to manufacturing, engineering, troubleshooting, and

production floor activities.

• Translate written materials including training documents, financial documents, engineering

• Support Japanese staff working alongside American team members on production floor

projects, kaizen activities, and troubleshooting situations.

• Assist Japanese employees and their families as they relocate and establish life in the United

living needs.

• Help coordinate employee activities and cultural events that support a positive and inclusive

company culture.

• Assist Human Resources with special projects and employee support initiatives.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or four (4)+ years of related experience, or equivalent combination of
