Responsibilities

• Review, process, and track engineering change requests through Ford”s change management systems (e.g., WERS, PLM tools, BOM applications).

• Coordinate cross-functional reviews with engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and supplier teams to assess change impact on cost, timing, tooling, and part compatibility.

• Facilitate Change Control meetings, ensuring proper sign-off of parts through concern and notice.

• Understand parts change history, revision levels, and configuration for parts, BOMs, and software releases.

• Analyze requirements associated with proposed changes and support DR Engineers in releasing parts.

• Track change implementation timelines and escalate delays or conflicts to stakeholders.

• Raise Initial Program Release Change Management Forms (IPR-CMFs) for the P-release phase and strategically group parts/notices to streamline downstream releases.

• Track CMFs through Integration and Finance workstreams, driving issues to resolution for timely system closure.

• Monitor, analyze, and resolve error states in BOM Health reports for New Tooled End Items (NTEI) and Carry Over (CO) content.

• Execute mandatory BOM updates for Publish Point Review (PPR) events, ensuring attribute completeness, correct usage, and buildability coverage.

• Audit and update components within FEDEBOM to achieve precise CAD-to-BOM alignment, enabling Final Data Judgment (FDJ).

• Align FEDEBOM data with Service reports and manage Alternative CAD Part Number (ALT CAD PN) updates, coordinating with the CDV team.

• Maintain Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) integrity by reviewing, updating, and removing parts associated with invalid buildable combinations.

• Perform BOM signoffs for Carry Over (CO) content and NTEIs (upon engineer request).

3. CDV (Configured Digital Vehicle) Reporting Support

• Support various BOM and report generation tasks based on Microsoft Excel templates and VBA Macros.

• Coordinate with engineers on reports and BOM-related tasks and support requests.

• Apply basic understanding of automotive systems and sub-systems to support accurate reporting.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration Liaison

• Partner with DR Engineers to translate technical design requirements into administrative system updates, reducing engineering administrative burden.

• Interface with the Engineering Cost and Sourcing (ECS) team to communicate new part requirements and track cost/tooling updates within specific CMFs.

• Provide agile, high-priority support for urgent program requests, system issues, and troubleshooting within the BOM environment.

• Support DR Engineers in releasing proposed changes through relevant systems throughout the vehicle program.

• Bachelor”s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Automobile, or related discipline); a degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, or Information Technology is also acceptable for BOM-focused activities.

• 25 years of experience in vehicle integration, change management, BOM management, or technical program coordination, preferably within the automotive industry.

• Proficiency in Ford core systems, including Teamcenter (TCE), WERS, FEDEBOM, GPDS, JIRA, 3DExperience (3Dx), and Change Management Forms (CMF).

• Strong understanding of Engineering Documentation, BOM structures, Revision control practices, and CAD-to-BOM alignment.

• Knowledge of PPAP processes and the vehicle development lifecycle, including P-release phase and Publish Point Review (PPR) events.

• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills, with high attention to detail and data accuracy.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (including advanced functions, Pivot Tables, Charts, and VBA Macros), PowerPoint, Word, and reporting/dashboard tools.

• Flexibility to work across time zones and diverse cultures, given extensive interaction with global stakeholders
