Design: develop, validate and launch suspension components for the ford programs globally. Suspension components includes control arms, links, bushings, springs, stabilizer bars, struts/dampers, top mounts, suspension modules, among others.
- quality: track warranties for suspension components, recover parts, identify root causes and work through design to solve issues and prevent recurrence.
- optimization: identify cost opportunities (tvm/cost attack teams) through design optimization processes, validation, and implementation at ford assembly manufacturing sites at reasonable timing.
- srea: evaluate and validate supplier engineering changes (lay out change, resourcing, plant location change, own tvms, etc) changes may affect actual process, so we need to make sure they go smoothly to assy plant
design and release activities related to suspension components: 1. Comply with program quality, costs and weight targets. 2. Understand key engineering deliverables as per gpds (global product development system) and plan accordingly. 3. Follow engineering robustness disciplines (failure mode avoidance). 4. Structured issue resolution processes: design thinking, six sigma, 5d, 8d, 14d, etc. 5. Develop sourcing documents (soba, esow, pcp, ed&t, cvl, cpl and cpa). Lead to4 meetings. 6. Lead technical design reviews at supervisor and manager level (including emm/sar/escalation meetings with chief engr). 7. Manage parts progression in fedebom & wers through product life cycle. Lead engrg changes/approvals on ccm as required. 8. Audit and update bom (bill of material) with correct part levels to support prototypes and pre-production events. Maintenance as required. 9. Identify validation process, durability and other functional tests as per sds, wcr, design rules & es. 10. Prototype and launch issues resolution (i.e. Aims, duris, dpa and vvt) 11. Define engineering prototypes requirements at part/system level. 12. Engineering gateways and milestones delivery on time as per gpds. 13. Pdl revisions and wers updates accordingly. Opd activities. 14. Support as engineering side on cpedf, ccm, durability, emm, sar, tvm, match pair, vpat, cpat, safety pat, nvh pat, weight pat as required. Lead design conversations through issue resolution 15. Work with purchasing to identify potential suppliers opportunities and parts localization, 16. Lead tvm actions. Deal with timing to provide quick analysis and implementation 17. Warranty analysis, root cause identification, ica and pca implementation, supplier fix tracking and prevent recurrence. 18. Jointly with sta, provide technical assistance to suppliers through the supplier engagement process. Meet preproduction build with psw/ppap. 19. Embrace engineering best practices, process improvements and innovation submission. 20. Manage/approve supplier request for engineering approvals (srea process) 21. Review and approve dv (design verification) and pv (product validation) plans and develop commodity business plans
