Mechanical Engineer - DCE

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Product Creation and Industrialization (PC&I) brings together Ford's vehicle, electric, digital and design teams with our global manufacturing system. Working as one end-to-end organization, we turn ideas into high-quality vehicles, software and experiences across gas, hybrid and electric, designed around what customers need.

In this position...

Advanced EV's Design Concept Engineering team is looking for a skilled Mechanical Engineer to join our fast-paced development, working on cutting-edge features with complex hardware, sensors and software. You will be responsible for developing product architectures and technology concepts, particularly in the areas of electronics systems. This includes development of early prototypes and new technologies leading into scalable mass production. This work focuses on product-differentiating, customer-facing designs for new products features and development. A good candidate would have a strong background in consumer electronics or user-focused automotive electronics. Experience with working with oversea CMs and production processes are preferred.

What you'll do...

• Concept Design- Work with design studio/product/marketing to create new products in our portfolio to bring new electromechanical/digital experiences to the automotive space.
• Product Development- Drive development from concept through prototyping, engineering development builds, validation, production release, and sustaining/field failure analysis.
• Bring up and validation- Bring up designs done in-house and at JDM/OEM. Test designs for reliability and validity. Implement changes to address issues found.
• Rapid Prototyping- Create quick, simple designs to execute design vision of the studio team using off the shelf parts or quick-fabricated parts. Understand tradeoffs being made for velocity and mitigate risks that impact team progress.
• System Integration- Work with other engineering teams to integrate designs into our vehicles.
