Engineer ED&BOM

This role functions as a centralized, cross-functional engineering support position that plays a critical part in sustaining Ford's vehicle program lifecycle through the integration, change control, and Bill of Materials (BOM) management activities it oversees. Positioned at the intersection of multiple disciplines, it serves as the essential link between Design Release (DR) Engineers, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance, and Supplier teams, coordinating efforts across these groups to ensure that every engineering change introduced into the program is technically validated, logically sequenced, and governed through Ford's formal change management processes. This coordination prevents conflicting or poorly timed changes from disrupting the program and ensures that all stakeholders remain aligned as designs evolve. In parallel, the role carries direct responsibility for preserving BOM data integrity across systems, ensuring that CAD data and BOM records remain accurately aligned, and confirming that Configured Digital Vehicle (CDV) reporting reflects the true, current state of the vehicle configuration. By absorbing these detailed, process-intensive responsibilities, the role significantly reduces the administrative burden placed on DR Engineers, freeing them to dedicate their time and expertise to core design and engineering work rather than change documentation and data reconciliation tasks. In doing so, the position not only enables greater engineering productivity but also acts as a safeguard for the broader program, protecting critical timing milestones, controlling costs associated with rework or errors, and ensuring system compatibility across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier platforms throughout the vehicle program's lifecycle.

This role serves as a centralized, cross-functional engineering support position responsible for the integration, change control, and Bill of Materials (BOM) management activities that aid Ford's vehicle program lifecycle. The position bridges Design Release (DR) Engineers, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance, and Supplier teams to ensure engineering changes are technically validated, properly sequenced, and controlled through formal change management processes, while simultaneously ensuring BOM data integrity, CAD-to-BOM alignment, and accurate Configured Digital Vehicle (CDV) reporting. The role minimizes administrative burden on DR Engineers, enabling them to focus on core design activities, while safeguarding program timing, cost, and system compatibility

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Automobile, or related discipline); a degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, or Information Technology is also acceptable for BOM-focused activities.
• 2–5 years of experience in vehicle integration, change management, BOM management, or technical program coordination, preferably within the automotive industry.
• Proficiency in Ford core systems, including Teamcenter (TCE), WERS, FEDEBOM, GPDS, JIRA, 3DExperience (3Dx), and Change Management Forms (CMF).
• Strong understanding of Engineering Documentation, BOM structures, Revision control practices, and CAD-to-BOM alignment.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills, with high attention to detail and data accuracy.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (including advanced functions, Pivot Tables, Charts, and VBA Macros), PowerPoint, Word, and reporting/dashboard tools.
