In this role, you will be the end-to-end technical owner of engine assembly processes: from workstation design, line balancing, and bottleneck reduction (JPH / Takt Time), to parameter optimization for critical processes such as servo pressing, automated liquid sealant dispensing (RTV), leak testing, and error-proofing systems (Poka-Yoke). ## Responsibilities ### Process Design and Optimization Define, implement, and improve operational flow, standard work methods, and tooling across engine assembly lines, ensuring adherence to Takt Time and production cadence (JPH). ### Critical Powertrain Process Control Automated Silicone / Sealant Dispensing (RTV): Parameterize and audit robotic dispensing cells (Nordson / SCA / Fanuc / ABB), maintaining control over path trajectories, bead geometry, and open time. ### Servo Presses Monitor and calibrate Force vs. Displacement signature curves (Promess, Kistler) for the insertion of bushings, freeze plugs (core plugs), and dowel pins. ### Leak Testing Validate and fine-tune pressure-decay or helium leak test stations across lubrication, coolant, and fuel circuits. ### Ergonomics and Standardized Work Design safe workstations utilizing zero-gravity manipulators and ergonomic tooling in compliance with corporate safety standards (FAS 08). Develop and maintain Operator Instruction Sheets (OIS / JES / SOS). ### Defect Prevention and APQP Lead and update station PFMEAs, designing mechanical and electronic error-proofing systems (Poka-Yoke)—such as vision inspection sensors and pick-to-light arrays—to safeguard critical safety characteristics (Inverted Delta ∇). ### Engineering Change Management Plan and execute plant trial runs (PTR) on the shop floor for new component introductions, design modifications (WERS), or model-year changes without disrupting operational continuity. ### Structured Problem Solving Actively drive root cause analysis (8D, Ishikawa, 5 Whys, DMAIC) to address quality escapes, functional test failures (Cold/Hot Test), or line micro-stoppages. ## Qualifications ### Education Bachelor’s Degree with a Professional License (Cédula Profesional) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field. ### Work Experience 3 to 5+ years of proven experience as a Manufacturing or Process Engineer on automotive assembly lines (highly desirable in engine assembly / powertrain, transmissions, or high-precision mechanical components). ### Language Proficiency Advanced / Fluent English (B2+ to C1). Essential for coordinating pilot runs with product design teams (Powertrain D&R in Dearborn) and international equipment manufacturers. ## 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/73301) ## 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 Process Coach](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/ee3b293eaf1a6f096359/) Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico ### [Controls Engineer - Machining (T.
