Manufacturing Engineer - Powertrain​/Test

As part of our Manufacturing team, you'll help build the world-class, state-of-the-art smart vehicles we're known for. In our plants around the world, we're constantly developing new technologies and processes to further increase our efficiency. You'll get the satisfaction of making great products people use and love.

This is a manufacturing engineering position with a focus on developing production test processes and project-managing the launch of new and retooled test equipment on powertrain manufacturing programs. It should be assumed that the position is based in the Powertrain Manufacturing Engineering (PTME) office. Depending on project assignments, travel to appropriate equipment OEMs and Ford Powertrain Plants is to be expected

Manufacturing Engineer - Powertrain/Test

Responsibilities:

* Support the specification, procurement, build, installation and launch of Powertrain Production Test Systems for transmission and electrified powertrain component projects

* Deliver standardized test processes and equipment in line with global powertrain strategies

* Support all test processes (e.g. Leak Test, In-Process Test, Main Control Oil Calibration, Transmission /etransaxle Final Test, eMotor testing, etc.)

* Collaborate with Product Engineering to achieve a working Product design that meets Manufacturing Design Specifications with feasible expectations in the Test Engineering Specification (ES)

* Work with Prototype Engineering to determine feasible test solutions and methodology during the early stages of new programs

* Work with a multi-functional engineering team from Assembly, Machining, Quality and Plant Operations to ensure proper integration of test processes into powertrain manufacturing systems

* Develop production test sequences and monitor product function through a test software interface

* Troubleshoot production issues impacting FTT and warranty, determine corrective actions to the part, assembly, and machining processes and/or test equipment

* Implement test stand modifications as required for new models and corrective actions

* Implement test sequence (software) updates for new models and corrective actions

* Conduct equipment acceptance activities for test machines at both the OEM and Mfg. Plant to validate capability, robustness, and safety

* Review component/assembly quality indicators and evaluate potential test improvements to address issues, reduce warranty claims and improve customer satisfaction on new programs

* Use Lessons Learned to develop program studies and improve standard Bill of Processes
