About the Role
This role focuses on leading Quality Operating System (QOS) initiatives within the production department, driving continuous improvement in manufacturing processes and ensuring product quality.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development and continuous improvement of stamping and manufacturing processes for current and new-model parts, balancing quality, cost, timing, manufacturability, and production requirements.
- Review part data, CAD, engineering specifications, and production information to identify feasibility, tooling, dimensional, and process concerns, develop action plans, and recommend effective engineering solutions.
- Support the complete tooling lifecycle, including part feasibility, die design, construction, machining, tryout, buyoff, launch, and production support.
- Lead and support PFMEA, SCAAF, quality-loop, and launch reviews, ensuring process risks are identified and addressed before tooling and production launches.
- Serve as a key engineering contact for production team leaders and supervisors, coordinating with various departments to resolve manufacturing and quality issues.
- Review rejected parts for quality integrity, determine appropriate disposition and next steps, and maintain accurate traceability records and quality documentation.
- Manage and communicate quality performance through various reports, providing timely information for quality reviews.
- Lead cross-functional quality initiatives focused on No Fault Forward and Zero Defects, utilizing structured problem-solving and continuous-improvement methods.
- Lead 8D investigations for Warranty and Vehicle Operations concerns, partnering with stakeholders to establish containment, root cause, corrective action, and prevention.
- Apply Six Sigma methodologies to manufacturing and quality problems, supporting projects that improve process capability, reduce variation, eliminate defects, and deliver measurable cost savings.
- Utilize statistical process control, statistical analysis, PP/PPK, measurement systems analysis, and variable-data analysis to monitor process performance, identify trends, and drive corrective and preventive actions.
- Establish and monitor quality targets and critical characteristics for each build and provide engineering input into product, design, and assembly concepts that minimize variation and improve manufacturing capability.
- Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to interpret engineering requirements, establish locators and measurement points, verify tolerances, and support effective dimensional-control strategies.
- Manage measurement systems for components and assemblies; interpret inspection data and ensure appropriate calibration, certification, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Utilize CATIA, Teamcenter/VisMock-Up, SMIRT, CM4D/CM4Di, AutoForm/FEA, Argus, and other engineering systems to investigate tooling, product, dimensional, and forming issues and develop data-driven solutions.
- Apply forming-limit analysis and Argus results to evaluate material behavior and optimize stamping processes, while coordinating material trials, lubricant testing, thickness changes, and other process evaluations.
- Manage engineering changes, Tool Change Notices, Tool Change Orders, Sheet 3 changes, and related releases, evaluating technical feasibility, tooling requirements, cost, timing, and production impact.
- Support plant launches, insourcing/outsourcing evaluations, line-load optimization, tooling transfers, die adaptations, and production changes, ensuring engineering requirements and quality targets are achieved.
- Drive continuous improvement through benchmarking, innovation, new technology implementation, workforce development, and data-driven process optimization.
Requirements
- T&D journeyman’s card OR Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering field.
- 1 or more years’ experience in Microsoft Office to include, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook.
- Proven problem-solving ability.
- Candidates for positions with Ford Motor Company must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
- Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire.
