Job Description
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day roll up our sleeves and build a better world together. At Ford were all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves
Fords Electric Vehicles Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the companys vision of a fully electric transportation future. EVDD is customerobsessed entrepreneurial and datadriven and is dedicated to delivering industryleading customer experience for electric vehicle buyers and owners. Youll join an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively staying focused on only what matters and delivering excellence day in and day out. Join us to make positive change by helping build a better world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.
Responsibilities
What youll do...
- Develop and implement casting simulation strategies for future EV platforms collaborating with part leads from concept to mass production.
- Set up and optimize flow and solidification analysis using Magmasoft and Flow3d to predict and improve casting quality.
- Integrate flow analysis results with 3D casting designs balancing construction material selection and manufacturing methods. Collaborate with part leads to ensure part design considerations are fully integrated addressing die life cooling material flow and part distortion.
- Utilize simulation tools to predict casting defects optimize casting process including shot profile cycle time optimize cooling minimize part distortion and ensure part manufacturability.
- Optimize casting and part designs using analytical assessments maximizing die life minimizing cycle times and improving part quality through continuous feedback between casting and part design.
- Develop and implement advanced casting technologies (e.g. gating systems die cooling spray extraction and quench strategies) based on simulation results. Collaborate with material scientists for optimal material selection.
- Optimize alloys to enhance die life and part performance collaborating with part leads for optimal material choices informed by simulation data.
- Develop and use predictive models to maximize die life considering part design impacts and simulation results.
- Integrate and apply AI/machine learning for datadriven optimization of the casting process addressing quality issues part distortion and OEE. Use this data to inform both casting and part design and die life improvements.
- Participate in design reviews presenting casting simulation results integrated casting and part design concepts and recommendations.
- Work crossfunctionally to overcome technical challenges related to casting.
- Develop tools and methods for faster casting and part development feeding CAE analysis for vehicle attributes.
- Troubleshoot prototype and production processes collaborating with part leads to resolve issues using simulation as a key tool.
- Maintain design records and documentation including simulation reports and validation data.
Qualifications
Youll have...
- BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering Materials Science or related field; 5 years experience in highvolume casting simulation (automotive preferred).
- 3 years experience with 3D CAD software (collaborative experience).
- Strong understanding of casting processes materials and techniques.
- Expertise in setting up and optimizing flow analysis using Magmasoft and Flow3d.
- Strong analytical skills and experience with CAE tools (casting simulation).
- Experience with alloy selection and casting process parameters.
- Experience with AI/machine learning in manufacturing (a plus).
- Systems approach to design and development; commitment to continuous improvement.
- Experience with GD&T and relevant industry standards.
- Strong analytical/problemsolving skills; detailoriented and highly motivated.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
