In this role, you will be the end-to-end technical owner of the machining process for major structural components (CGI/cast iron engine blocks, aluminum cylinder heads, or forged steel crankshafts), driving dimensional stability, the introduction of new tooling, cost-per-part (CPP) reduction, and the alignment between product blueprints and the statistical capabilities ( $C_p, C_{pk}$) of our CNC machining centers. ## Responsibilities ### Process Ownership and Dimensional Capability Design, validate, and optimize machining processes (milling, deep-hole drilling, reaming, boring, and honing) to ensure critical engine features achieve micron-level tolerances and statistical capabilities ( Cp,Cpk≥1.67Cp, Cpk \ge 1.67 C p, C p k ≥ 1.67). ### Tooling Management and Cost Reduction (Tooling & CPP) Lead the selection, trial, and optimization of cutting tools (cemented carbide, PCD inserts for aluminum, and CBN for iron/CGI) in partnership with world-class tooling vendors (Sandvik, Kennametal, Mapal, Guhring). Develop tool life strategies, flank wear criteria, and regrind/reconditioning programs to systematically drive down Cost Per Part (CPP) without compromising quality. ### Metrology Correlation and CMM Interpret daily dimensional reports from Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), surface profilometers ( Ra,Rz,RkRa, Rz, Rk R a, R z, R k) and air gauges. Translate geometric deviations into immediate work offset updates ( G54−G59G54-G59 G 54 − G 59), tool wear compensations, or mechanical adjustments to workholding fixtures. ### Cycle Time Optimization and Throughput Analyze cutting kinematics and non-cutting movements (air cuts) within numerical controllers (Siemens 840D / Fanuc), optimizing tool paths to eliminate bottlenecks and sustain target production line cadence (JPH). ### Technical Documentation and Core Tools (APQP / FPS) Author and audit live process documentation: Machining PFMEAs (failure modes: journal/bore misalignment, exposed porosity, stripped threads, harmonic chatter), Control Plans, Tool Layout Sheets, and Operator Instruction Sheets (OIS / JES). ### Engineering Change Management Plan and coordinate Plant Trial Runs (PTR) for new part number introductions, product engineering changes (WERS), or modifications in raw casting/forging stock. ### Cutting Fluids and Industrial Washing Support Monitor and optimize concentration, pH, and filtration of water-soluble coolant or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) systems, as well as parameters for industrial part washers and thermal/high-pressure waterjet deburring cells. ## Qualifications Bachelor’s Degree with a Professional License ( Cédula Profesional) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Metallurgical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. 3 to 5+ years of proven experience as a Process, Manufacturing, or Tooling Engineer on high-volume CNC machining lines in the automotive industry (hands-on experience in machining engine, transmission, chassis, or brake components is essential). Advanced / Fluent English (B2+ to C1). Essential for daily communication with Product Engineering (Powertrain D&R in Dearborn) and US-based machine and tooling builders. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 27, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Nov 1, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 1, 2026 - Listed for: 5 days - Location: Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico - Work arrangement: On-site - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Ford Motor’s careers site →](https://efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/73309) ## Hiring at Ford Motor - Open jobs: 877 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 10, 2026 [All Ford Motor jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Ford Motor ### [Assembly Fasteners Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/10fbc5171307be43451c/) Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico ### [Assembly Manufacturing Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/d5d2a9baa65162900329/) Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico ### [Assembly Process Coach](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/ee3b293eaf1a6f096359/) Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico ### [Controls Engineer - Machining (T.
