## Description

Ford Energy is seeking a Quality Engineer to lead the development of advanced quality standards and technology for grid-scale and commercial DC battery energy storage systems.

The successful candidate will have a bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Industrial, or related field) and 0-3+ years of manufacturing process or quality engineering experience in an automated manufacturing facility.

**Responsibilities:**

- Apply engineering principles and analytical techniques to drive continuous improvement in automated battery manufacturing processes.

- Establish and monitor quality target levels at the workstation level for each build phase to validate workstation readiness.

- Manage and direct Statistical Process Control (SPC) activities, utilizing control charts, data collection, and GD&T to minimize manufacturing variation.

- Conduct process audits to ensure production process adherence to strict guidelines, specific process standards, and environmental/quality compliance (including ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and IATF 16949).

- Support efficiency planning to ensure workstations are properly set up with quality risks and failure modes (PFMEA) proactively identified and addressed.

- Develop and implement data-driven solutions during the design, construction, and launch phases of a massive Greenfield manufacturing site.

- Lead variability reduction, lean manufacturing best practices, and the development of solutions for throughput constraints.

- Champion transparency and work cross-functionally with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, and Suppliers.

- Develop relevant KPIs and data visualizations to enable a clear, real-time understanding of actual vs. expected quality and process performance.

- Lead the development of interim and permanent corrective actions to resolve quality and production issues using 8D methodology and structured problem-solving tools.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Industrial, or related field).

- 0-3+ years of manufacturing process or quality engineering experience in an automated manufacturing facility.

- Working knowledge of statistics (control charts, data collection, GD&T), PFMEA, and 3D CAD review abilities (3D Experience, CATIA, or equivalent).

- Strong understanding of industrial controls and automation.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Master's degree in Engineering or an MBA.

- Experience with advanced manufacturing technologies, including vision/camera systems, error-proofing (Poka-yoke) systems, and/or robotics.

- Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma Green/Black Belt certification (DMAIC, DMADV/DFSS).

- Expertise in 8D, 5-Why, FMEA, PPAP, DOEs, and Value Stream Mapping.

**Salary and Benefits:**

- Salary grade 6-8, ranging from $74,300-$166,200 per year.
