PTME Casting Engineer

Location: Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico

As a Casting Engineer at Ford, you will be a critical technical expert within the Powertrain Manufacturing Engineering (PTME) team, specializing in the design, development, and implementation of manufacturing processes for powertrain castings. Your primary focus will be to ensure the manufacturing feasibility of casting designs from initial concept through to production launch, supporting both traditional and electrified powertrain components. You will lead the New Model Launch Component Committee (NMLCC) process for castings, ensuring cross-functional alignment to create robust, manufacturable designs that meet Ford's stringent quality and performance standards.

 

This role requires a deep understanding of casting processes, materials, and tooling, along with strong collaboration skills to work effectively with Product Engineering, Machining teams, and external suppliers. You will play a key role in evaluating emerging casting technologies, optimizing designs for manufacturing, and resolving complex engineering issues to support Ford's global new program launches and continuous improvement initiatives.

 

The PTME department serves as the critical bridge between product design and plant production. We are responsible for the end-to-end delivery of global powertrain programs, ensuring that all manufacturing processes, facilities, and equipment meet Ford’s rigorous global standards for quality, cost, and feasibility from initial concept through final launch.
