Unicasting Casting Process Engineer

In this role, the Unicasting Casting Process Engineer will define and deliver next-generation Unicasting manufacturing processes in support of future-model vehicle programs. Successful candidates will have a proven record of working with cross functional teams in the development and implementation of processes for structural aluminum high pressure die castings.

The Unicasting Casting Process Engineer will be responsible for defining and implementing the casting process, from early program planning through facility launch. In this role, the engineer will have direct-line impact over the process development, bill of process and equipment identification and integration of Unicastings. This process is a new to Ford manufacturing process and must combine both technical and leadership capabilities to drive success. Ideal candidates must navigate and drive change in a complex internal environment, challenging the status quo as we define an all-new way of manufacturing vehicles.
