Sr. Mechanical Engineer

Ford Model E is responsible for developing the key technologies and capabilities - such as EV platforms, batteries, e-motors, inverters, charging and recycling - to create ground-up, breakthrough electric vehicles. By joining the best software, engineering, design and UX talent, you will be a part of creating new technologies and concepts that can be applied across the Ford enterprise. Being on the Ford Model E team means building the future as Ford's center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will be responsible primarily for HV power distribution system design and will be supporting the hardware team in OBC, DC-DC converter and BMS development and integration into battery pack.

At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams! With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow's transportation.

What you'll be able to do:

• Work with the hardware design team to develop new power conversion and distribution system designs with optimized performance, reliability and cost.

• Closely collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, testing, manufacturing, and quality teams, to ensure that designs encompass DFX principles and meet quality standards.

• Develop engineering prototypes using rapid prototyping processes and coordinate building and testing for functionality and performance.

• Engage with suppliers from concept phase to evaluate processes and materials based on manufacturability, quality, cost, reliability, and functional requirements. Provide further support on design improvements to resolve quality issues related to fabrication (die casting, injection moulding, sheet metal forming, etc)

• Participate in development of assembly and test fixtures for all product phases.

• Develop mechanical functions specifications, support with test planning, execution and documentation based on the design requirements and regulations.

• Mentor and work with junior engineers and technicians
