Unicasting Tooling Engineer

In this role, the Unicasting Tooling Engineer will define and deliver next-generation Unicasting high pressure die casting dies 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 dies for large structural aluminum high pressure die castings.

The Unicasting Tooling Engineer will be responsible for defining and implementing the die cast tooling, from early program planning through program launch. In this role, the tooling engineer will have responsibility for the tooling construction and input into the product design, process development, and bill of process for 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.
