The Innovation Engineer plays a key role as a catalyst for both disruptive change and incremental continuous improvement across the plant's operations. This position is designed to develop early-career engineering talent by immersing them in strategic cost-reduction initiatives that combine structured problem-solving methodologies with emerging technologies.

The role's primary objective is to lead and execute strategic cost-reduction projects by leveraging 6-Sigma methodologies, Data Analysis, Machine Learning, Additive Manufacturing, the Ford Production System (FPS), Lean Manufacturing principles, and creative/design thinking.

The Innovation Engineer will be expected to balance hands-on project execution with data-driven decision making, translating analytical insights and lean principles into measurable, sustainable savings and process improvements.

6-Sigma Pillar (Quality & Process Excellence)
- Lead DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) projects aimed at reducing variability in both production and administrative processes.
- Identify, document,



and eliminate sources of defects or rework that have a direct negative impact on manufacturing costs.
- Apply statistical tools and root-cause analysis techniques to validate process improvements and sustain results over time.
- Support the certification path toward Six Sigma Green Belt by actively participating in improvement projects.

GDIA — Integral Data Insights & Analytics / Ford Production System
- Collaborate to extract, clean, analyze, and interpret large volumes of operational data from plant systems.
- Implement predictive models to anticipate quality, cost, or efficiency issues before they materialize.
- Enhance digitalization processes by identifying opportunities to automate manual reporting, dashboards, and data collection routines.
- Translate data insights into clear, actionable recommendations for engineering and operations stakeholders.
- Support the deployment of FPS tools and best practi
