Job Description

As a Low Voltage (LV) EDS Design and Release (D&R;) Engineer, you will be at the forefront of defining the "nervous system" for our next-generation icon vehicle "Mustang", contributing to world-class, state-of-the-art smart vehicles. You will play a critical role in the end-to-end design, development, validation, and release of low-voltage wiring harnesses, ensuring the reliable connectivity and optimal performance of critical vehicle systems.

Responsibilities

- Lead the design and development of low-voltage wiring harnesses, collaborating closely with FSS (Full-service supplier), ensuring compliance with quality, program targets for cost, weight, quality, performance, and timing.
- 4 Days On Site In GTBC Ford México (Naucalpan, México)
- Collaborate closely with Systems Engineering on logical and physical schematic development, and with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, testing) to ensure designs meet technical specifications and production feasibility.
- Define and support wire size/type selection, as well as inline connector pinouts and terminal sizing, based on requirements and design rules.
- Utilize best design efficiencies for manufacturing, assembly, and failure mode avoidance ( Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis - DFMEA / Special Characteristics Communication and Agreement Form ) practices, optimizing process efficiency.
- Create and maintain program-specific foundation documents, including Boundary Diagrams, Quality History, P-diagrams, and DFMEAs.




- Manage harness family complexity using Program Direction Letter to drive commonality of designs across multiple programs and platforms.
- Develop and maintain installation illustrations to facilitate assembly.
- Release parts in FEDEBOM and Worldwide Engineering Release Systems throughout the product life cycle and actively participate in Change Control Meetings.
- Complete Technical Design Reviews (TDR’s) with Technical Specialists, and lead electrical EDS compatibility reviews, as well as the sign-off of wiring harness prints.
