Manufacturing Engineer-Package Attach/ Reflow Soldering
About The Position
As part of Ford’s Manufacturing team, the Manufacturing Engineer will lead the specification, procurement, build, installation, and launch of Powertrain production equipment for package attach and reflow soldering of powertrain power electronics components. The role develops standardized processes and equipment aligned with global powertrain strategies and implements manufacturing processes for package attach and reflow soldering. The engineer supports inspection processes, collaborates with Product Engineering to ensure product designs meet Manufacturing Design Specifications and have feasible Engineering Specifications, and supports prototype and pilot manufacturing to determine feasible solutions early in new programs. The position also troubleshoots production issues affecting first-time-through (FTT) performance and warranty, identifying corrective actions for parts, processes, or equipment. Travel to supplier facilities and Ford manufacturing plants is required, estimated at 10–30%. The position is hybrid; candidates within commuting distance of a Ford hub may be required to work onsite four or more days per week.
