Immerse yourself in Ford's center of innovation and growth, working alongside top engineering, design, and software talent to create groundbreaking EVs and contribute to key technologies like batteries, charging, and recycling. This is your chance to gain hands-on experience and make a real impact on the automotive industry. As a Closures Systems Engineer, you’ll use your technical expertise to wholistically drive complex closures design problems to completion. You’ll work amongst the team to scope work, plan requirements, identify risks, estimate budgets, and clearly communicate ongoing progress of the sealing system. You will be working on a small high performing team that will have a high interaction and collaboration quotient to deliver fully integrated EV vehicle sealing systems that achieve aspirational targets associated with cost, weight, efficiency, and exceed operational tolerances required to deliver the ambitious project scope. Engineering trade-offs are minimized by the development of solutions and innovations to minimize settling for an inferior product or solution. This team will be highly technical in nature and will come from engineering and data centric team environments that have had to deliver the holistic end to end engineering life cycle from ideation through design, engineering, test and ensuring efficient industrialization. This environment is not for everyone but will enrich the best talent with the opportunity to perform some of the best work of their careers. What you'll do... Responsible for closure CAD design and release. Plan, conceptualize, and develop designs to effectively support existing and new product offerings. Develop testing processes and perform testing and validation of new designs. Coordinate with design team on concept realization and feasibility using rapid prototyping methodologies. Perform engineering calculations to support design work. Use engineering analysis and simulation to design in product quality in the early design stages and reduce iteration and issues during new product introduction. Create design documentation for release to manufacturing including part/assembly drawings. Support program through production tooling, qualification testing, and manufacturing introduction. Create and review technical drawings, plans, and specifications using CAD software. Collaborate with multi-disciplinary engineering teams, and work with vendors and contractors. Examine total cost of each project, while the effectiveness and safety of each design as a high priority. Participate in activities to verify the accuracy of designs, while documenting each process. Construct all bills of material for the designs and maintain accurate records. You'll have...
