Advanced Diesel Emissions Systems Engineer

Ford • Dearborn, MI

7d • $84,480 - $141,360 • Hybrid

About The Position

As an Advanced Emissions Systems Engineer, you will lead the concept definition, design, and integration of cutting-edge emissions systems for the 6.7L Scorpion diesel engine. The primary focus will be developing hardware and software strategies to achieve the 31MY Bin75 compliance. You will serve as a technical lead, balancing cross-functional trade-offs between mechanical, electrical, and chemical domains to deliver an optimized, durable propulsion system.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related Systems Engineering field.
• 5+ years of experience in propulsion or diesel emissions system design and integration.
• 3+ years of experience with Systems Engineering principles and quality tools (e.g., DFMEA, Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams).
• 1+ years of project management experience

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to coordinate complex technical workstreams.
• Direct experience with emissions regulations, compliance and testing.
• In-depth understanding of powertrain architectures and their specific impact on emissions (e.g., cold-start management, thermal transients).
• Experience leading cross-functional technical trade-offs in a high-volume production environment.
• Cross-domain familiarity with engine controls, mechanical packaging, and catalyst chemistry.
• Knowledge of milestones and delivery to both GTDS and GPDS
• Demonstrated experience with 1D modeling tools and methodology. (e.g., GT-Suite, MATLAB/Simulink)
• You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities

• System Design & Integration: Lead the definition and design of new emissions concepts, integrating hardware, controls, and packaging across the engine, transmission, generator, and aftertreatment systems.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Coordinate subsystems and lead technical trade-off discussions across different engineering domains to achieve an optimized system-level solution ensuring emissions and CO2 compliance while meeting key customer performance/towing/cost/reliability requirements.
• Project Management: Drive project milestones and workstream coordination using the Global Technical Development System (GTDS) to ensure timely delivery of project goals.
• Quality & Systems Engineering: Develop and maintain core systems engineering and quality documentation, including Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
• Requirements Management: Define attribute targets and cascade system/subsystem requirements, functions, and use cases to ensure compliance throughout the vehicle's full useful life.
• Collaboration: Develop strong working relationships with key cross-organizational partners including forward model engineering/calibration, vehicle teams, key suppliers and consultancies, planning, other supporting organizations.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
• Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
