Job summary

Ford Motor Company is seeking a Dimensional Engineer to drive 3DCS-based tolerance analysis and dimensional quality across vehicle development. You will partner with design, product engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure dimensional integrity from concept through production.

You will apply GD&T standards, lead datum strategies, and mentor junior engineers while advancing automotive dimensional capabilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 5+ years in automotive Dimensional Engineering.
• 3+ years performing 3D statistical tolerance analysis in 3DCS.
• In-depth knowledge of GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5M-2009); ASME GD&T certification.
• Working knowledge of production and quality control processes in a manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Own 3D statistical variation analysis in 3DCS end to end — model build, results correlation, issue resolution, and the recommendations that follow.
• Build and maintain large, multi-level vehicle assemblies in 3DCS, keeping models honest as the design matures through the development cycle.
• Run 1D and 3D dimensional feasibility studies to prove design intent can actually be achieved in production.
• Own the dimensional objectives for your commodity — driving issue resolution and dimensional quality throughout the entire development cycle.
• Turn results into decisions — clear, data-driven recommendations and countermeasure proposals that design and manufacturing teams can act on.
• Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5-2009) to define, review, and validate product drawings and dimensional requirements.
