Job Description

As a Modular Structure Specialist, you will be a key contributor to the transformation of product definition within our automotive organization. Leveraging expertise in end-to-end digital transformations and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), you will design, develop, and implement robust modular architectures and reusable product structures. This role requires a deep understanding of product engineering and development strategy, with a focus on optimizing product configurability and managing complexity. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define common components, interfaces, and support the widespread adoption of "Design for Reuse" principles, driving efficiency and innovation across Fords product lines.

Bachelors degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Systems, Industrial Engineering) or a related technical field.
Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in product design, systems engineering, solution architecture, or a relevant engineering discipline within the automotive or aerospace and defense (A&D) space.
Proven expertise in process optimization, large-scale digital transformation, and business process translation.
Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals, product development lifecycle, and design principles, with a focus on modular design and platform design.
Extensive experience with PLM systems and CAD tools for designing, modeling, and managing complex product structures.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively and lead in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment, appreciating interdependencies and complexities.
Exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Detail-oriented with a strong appreciation for interdependencies and complexities in an industrial setting.

Bonus Points:

Experience specifically in designing for modularity or component reuse.
Knowledge of a specific automotive domain (e.g., body systems, interior, electronics).
Familiarity with systems engineering methodologies (e.g., V-model, MBSE).
Experience with simulation and analysis tools.
Understanding of manufacturing processes and their impact on design reusability.

Lead the design and development of advanced modular product architectures and reusable features (hardware, software, or services) to support the transformation of product definition.
Apply and champion "Design for Reuse" (DfR) principles, process optimization, and large-scale digital transformation methodologies in all engineering activities.
Define and document clear specifications, interfaces, and validation requirements for reusable assets and modular structures.
Collaborate extensively with various engineering domains (e.g., powertrain, chassis, electrical, software, manufacturing) to identify, analyze, and implement opportunities for modularity and reuse.
Support the development, maintenance, and strategic evolution of the product feature catalog, modularity guidelines, and associated design standards.
Utilize advanced PLM systems, CAD tools, and other engineering platforms to design, model, manage, and optimize complex modular components and assemblies.
Participate actively in design reviews, providing expert technical guidance on modularity, reusability, product configurability, and complexity optimization.
Contribute to the development of comprehensive test plans to validate the functionality, interoperability, and robustness of modular features across the product lifecycle.
Drive the integration of modular structures and reusable features into new and existing product programs, ensuring seamless adoption and value realization.
Translate complex business requirements into tangible technical solutions and architectural designs, specializing in PLM digital transformations.
