About the role
In this position…
The FMA (Failure Mode Avoidance) Engineer is the technical engine behind Ford Energy’s ‘design it right the first time’ quality philosophy. This role owns the rigorous, structured processes — DFMEA, PFMEA, Robustness Reliability Cross-Check Lists (RRCL), and Special or Critical Characteristics Agreement Framework (SCCAF) — that identify and eliminate potential failure modes before they reach hardware, while ensuring proper linkage between all documents. The FMA Engineer works at the intersection of systems architecture (using Model-Based Systems Engineering tools like MagicDraw), design engineering, and manufacturing to ensure failure avoidance is embedded from concept through production.
