Description
As a Powertrain Manufacturing Engineer at Ford, you will play a pivotal role in the Integral Product Development System (GPDS), serving as the bridge between product design and physical production. You will be responsible for leading the planning, development, and implementation of manufacturing processes, equipment, and facilities for a wide range of powertrain programs. Your scope will include traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Transmission, and Axle programs, as well as high-priority Electrification projects such as Power Units, eDrives, and Battery systems.

The ideal candidate is a technical leader who can navigate complex engineering studies from early concept (uPSC) through to final launch (uFSR). You will ensure that all manufacturing solutions align with Ford’s Global Bill of Process (BOP), quality standards, and investment efficiency goals. By collaborating with Product Engineering, Plant Operations, and external suppliers, you will drive continuous improvement and ensure our facilities are equipped to deliver world-class quality and performance.





Responsibilities
Your role will encompass program leadership, technical process development, and financial stewardship. Key responsibilities include:
- Program Leadership & Planning: Lead global powertrain programs (M4-M6 levels) through the GPDS cycle. This includes conducting manufacturing feasibility studies, "What-if" vignettes, and deep-dive management reviews for both ICE and Electrification programs.
- Process & Quality Engineering: Develop and maintain robust manufacturing processes using Failure Mode Avoidance tools. You will be responsible for delivering critical quality documentation, including Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Control Plans, SCCAF, and Error Proofing Matrices (EPM).
- Technical Implementation: Manage the procurement, design, runoff, and delivery of new or re-tooled equipment. You will ensure all machinery meets safety, ergonomic, and productivity
