Job description

We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

In this position...

As an Advanced Diesel 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.

What you'll do...

Lead the definition and design of new emissions concepts, integrating hardware, controls, and packaging across the engine, transmission, generator, and aftertreatment systems.

Coordinate subsystems and lead technical trade‑off discussions across different engineering domains to achieve an optimized system‑level solution.

Drive project milestones and workstream coordination using the Global Technical Development System (GTDS) to ensure timely delivery of project goals.

Develop and maintain core systems engineering and quality documentation, including Boundary Diagrams, P‑Diagrams, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).

Define attribute targets and cascade system/subsystem requirements, functions, and use cases to ensure compliance throughout the vehicle’s full useful life.

You’ll have...

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related Systems Engineering field.

5+ years of experience in propulsion or 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

Even better, you may have...

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)

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder…or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

• 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


• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases


• Tuition assistance


• Established and active employee resource groups


• Paid time off for individual and team community service


• A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day


• Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.

This position is a salary grade 7 and ranges from $86,600-$144,900.

Final determination of salary grade will be based on candidate's skills and experience, and base salary will be set within the applicable range according to job scope, responsibility and competitive market value.
