In this position...
Transmission Core Engineer will work on the development of Ford’s ICE, Power Split, and BEV Powertrains. You will work closely with the transmission and systems technical experts to implement the “how” of systems engineering, signoff, and failure mode avoidance, and ensure it is applied rigorously across transmission programs. Tasks may include maintaining corporate memory related to failure modes and lessons learned, modelling failure modes, effects, and preventions using OMG SysML and OMG RAAML, refining engineering signoff process for complex systems and identifying gaps in core requirements. Your goal will be to ensure all transmission designs exceed customer expectations, meet business and regulatory needs, and are implemented efficiently by the release engineering teams. The core engineering team has broad scope across future transmission architectures and legacy designs.
The automotive industry is quickly moving towards a greater number of new powertrains to meet customer and market demands, many of which are new BEV and Hybrid programs. With this shift, there is an expanding need for development of new and unique powertrain architectures. There are also legacy powertrains within the portfolio that continue to be utilized within the industry and will require continuous involvement from core engineering to manage FMA, updated design rules, and updated requirements.
At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career and help us define tomorrow’s transportation.
