About the role

Engineering Designer creating CAD designs for Ford vehicles in a collaborative, automotive product development environment. Focused on geometric architectures, functionality, and manufacturing feasibility.

Responsibilities

Develop key geometrical architectures that define the shape and functionality of a vehicle using 3D CAD, CAE, and physical prototypes.
Work with product design teams to develop the vehicle CAD models starting from vehicle attributes and working towards a product that can be manufactured in high volume while meeting a wide variety of use cases.
****What you'll do...**
Ideate with engineers, designers, and other teams in creating new solutions for automotive applications.
Problem-solve to find geometric solutions using 3D CAD that balance attributes with the product concept, business case, and other guiding principles.
Using a systems design approach, optimize a vehicle’s topology to deliver efficient vehicle concepts.

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering degree.
3+ years of experience in an automotive product development environment.
