In this position...

Ford Underbody Systems Engineering is seeking a highly skilled and experienced leader to supervise a team of Design and Release Engineers delivering all internally designed and manufactured axle systems. Deliverables include design engineering, validation, launch, and ongoing production quality. Strong Driveline skills and experience are required to be successful in this role, as well as manufacturing experience in the Driveline commodity.
