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.
