Lead the delivery of all engineering requirements, for the electronic modules, per each development milestone, as defined by the Ford product development process. Support all vehicle prototype builds, product launch and service issues. Manage product financial status; review proposals to increase/decrease cost and seek approval for those changes via approval process with Ford management team. Be an interactive and key member of the body control module team, working closely with other electronic modules applications engineers, software engineers, and supplier team to support the product and develop robust solutions. Work with the Vehicle Electrical Program Management Team (PMT) and Program Vehicle Team (PVT) to launch the modules during the prototype and production launch phase. Support the development of robust foundation documents including but not limited to: DFMEA, specifications, D/PVP&R, worse case circuit analysis (WCCA), device transmittals, etc. Support technical design reviews (TDR) for module hardware design requirements and module interfaces. Lead cross-functional teams, consisting of vehicle system engineers, other commodity owners, network communications engineers, manufacturing engineers (vehicle operations engineers), and commodity suppliers to drive timely resolution of program specific engineering issues. Leverage failure detection strategies such as fault tree analysis, fishbone diagrams is/is not, etc. Lead trouble shooting and problem resolution process using vehicle CAN network tools. Collect/analyze CAN data, review system schematics and vehicle EDS as required. Develop solutions as required to revise or add features to the electronic modules as they impact hardware. Lead electronic modules configuration development and release effort (method 2 and method 3). Lead a cross functional team of feature owners and system engineers to assist in the definition of the required behavioral requirements necessary to meet the program's needs. Ensure alignment with Product Definition Letters and compliance to regional regulatory requirements. Lead resolution of warranty and quality issues. What you'll do...
