Job Description

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life. We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more!

Position involves the design and architecture of forward model underbody structures, 2-3 years before production. Primary responsibilities are to own a portion of the platform or a battery structure and drive the design to meet overall system KPIs (Safety, piece cost, weight, investment, stamping feasibility, manufacturing feasibility, timing, quality). The position often requires co-development of new materials, features, and technologies.

Responsibilities

In this position...

  • Design advanced / pre-program Body-in-White components (stampings, extrusions, roll formed, etc).
  • Coordinate with all stakeholders (Safety, Manufacturing, NVH, cost, weight, investment, etc.) to achieve Structures functional requirements and timing.
  • Prepare BOM, cost, weight and assembly flow documents.

What you'll do...

  • Prepare benchmarking and attachment C decision matrices.
  • Prepare and present technical studies to peers and management.
  • Create design packages for initial supplier sourcing, vendor tooling, internal manufacturing, and other customers of our designs.
  • Co-Develop advanced features, technologies, and materials.
  • Qualifications

    You'll have...

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or Material Science
  • Minimum of 3 years of prior experience in structures design and release engineering.
  • Extensive experience in technology development; solid history of patent development and implementation.
  • Experience with Catia V5 a must.
  • Even better, you may have...

  • Broad exposure to various vehicle types and material types (Body-On-Frame Truck, Unibody SUV, steel, aluminum, etc.)
  • Ability to work in a fluid environment when overall vehicle targets, size, appearance, and manufacturing location are not always known.
  • Ability to solve practical problems and deal with a variety of concrete variables in situations where only limited standardization exists.
  • Microsoft Office experience.
  • Effective oral and written communication skills.
  • 8D and 5Why corrective action and problem solving skills.
  • You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

    As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like : will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder...or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including :

  • Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
  • Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
  • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
  • Tuition assistance
  • Established and active employee resource groups
  • Paid time off for individual and team community service
  • A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day
  • Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
