Description
As part of Ford's Powertrain Engineering and Quality organization, you will serve as the pivotal technical bridge between Quality, Product Development, and Calibration teams. In this role, you will resolve complex powertrain controls and calibration challenges across combustion and electrified vehicle architectures.
Responsibilities:
- Drive End-to-End Resolution: Lead the full lifecycle of complex powertrain controls and calibration field concerns.
- Lead Technical Task Forces: Orchestrate cross-functional rapid-response engineering teams to investigate root causes.
- Influence Engineering Priorities: Negotiate with engineering and calibration departments to formulate data-backed technical business cases.
- Manage Field Fix Rollout: Coordinate the deployment of software updates, service calibrations, and launch-critical resolutions.
- Verify Solution Effectiveness: Track post-remedy field performance to ensure defects are eradicated.
- Prevent Recurrence & Embed Best Practices: Capture engineering lessons learned and failure mode data.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
- Relevant engineering experience (typically 3 to 5 years) in automotive problem-solving, quality engineering, systems engineering, or powertrain calibration.
- Demonstrated experience leading root-cause analysis investigations using structured problem-solving methodologies.
- Working technical knowledge of powertrain systems, diagnostic monitors, or vehicle-level data acquisition.
- Proven ability to drive results and align cross-functional teams in a matrixed engineering environment.
- Valid driver’s license to support on-vehicle data collection and evaluation activities.
