SET1 HW Systems Engineer handling automotive complex systems from concept to production support at Ford. Leading cross-functional projects and engaging with stakeholders for system requirements.
Responsibilities
Act as the primary engineering contact for current vehicle programs, addressing system concerns and the impact of design changes on the overall system.
Lead complex cross-functional projects using problem-solving and optimization methodologies (e.g., 8D, Six Sigma, 3L5Y, CAE).
Execute hands-on optimization projects at NMPDC to rapidly develop and validate optimization concepts or fixes for current/future production issues.
Maintain a complete, end-to-end understanding of the system, recognizing how changes to one component (e.g., deco trim) impact others (e.g., structural sheet metal, air bag deployment).
Drive alignment across engineering teams, making data-driven decisions on system trade-offs and design compromises.
Ensure all system models, requirements documents, and problem-solving reports are accurate, complete, and effectively communicated to all levels of the organization.
Lead the development and maintenance of comprehensive MBFMA for SET1, including boundary diagrams, P-diagrams, DFMEA, and enhanced RCL.
Build and maintain system definition SysML models
Engage with internal stakeholders (Design, Manufacturing, Electrical, Thermal, Safety) to acquire and synthesize their technical needs, expectations, and operational constraints.
Develop detailed use cases and translate stakeholder needs into clear, measurable system requirements (functional, performance, interface, and safety).
Collaborate with design and release engineers to ensure component designs meet all system requirements and align with the defined system architecture.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in automotive or complex system development, preferably involving body interior, exterior, or chassis systems.
Proven experience developing system definitions, MBFMAs and CAD designs (Catia V6) using Dassault Systems tools (MagicDraw and 3DX)
Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with basic mechanical fabrication, rapid prototyping, and vehicle tear-down/build-up
Expertise in formal problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, Six Sigma, 3L5Y).
Master’s degree in Systems Engineering or a related technical field (even better)
7+ years of experience in automotive or complex system development (even better)
Experience with cockpit, Instrument Panel (IP), steering, or climate system component integration (even better)
Familiarity with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262) (even better)
OMG SysML certifications (even better)
Launch/ VO experience (even better)
Six Sigma Green Belt Certification (even better).
