Class A - Surface Designer

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?

Join us in shaping the future of Ford Motor Company, as part of a global organization with exceptional colleagues in world-class facilities. As part of Ford Design, you'll be at the cutting edge of Ford's most strategically critical work, designing people and society's needs into the heart of our next generation of products, services, and experiences.

Surface Development Primary is the leader of surface quality and Class A surface on the program. As part of Ford Design, the primary integrates engineering requirements while maintaining the design vision.

SURFACE DEVELOPMENT ()

What you'll do...

* Leads program surface progression of Design and surface expert evaluation, and critique sheet process

* Leads cross-system surface execution to ensure full system surface compatibility

* Confirms all program surface interfaces are "Designed-in-Context" to a coordinated data set including supplier data

* Develops and maintains a coordinated Class A surface database (i.e. Reference Manager)

* Ensures incorporation of appropriated technical, attribute and program requirements into surface whilst maintaining the design vision.

* Drives resolution of surface data issues by leading power wall and digital reviews

* Manages surface changes in SDMS (Surface Data Management system)

* Maintain program product structure and part history in Teamcenter to accurately represent evolution of design and change control

* Supports DTO Supervisor with workload distribution, and prioritization of assignments within Surfacing Team

* Facilitate program surface progression through the K-Loops. Develop and assist (mentor) Class A Surface Designers in the delivery of feasible math surfaces aligned with program milestones requirements that delivers design intent

* During the K-Loops, lead surface development pre-Discovery Complete and post-Discovery Complete lead the incorporation of technical requirements into the surface. On applicable programs, work with Production Studio post K6 to ensure Design vision is maintained through the surface verification process.
