Immerse yourself in Ford's center of innovation and growth, working alongside top engineering, design, and software talent to create groundbreaking EVs and contribute to key technologies like batteries, charging, and recycling. This is your chance to gain hands-on experience and make a real impact on the automotive industry.
As a drivetrain fluid system intern you will be an integral part of the team responsible for the design,
analysis, and validation of Ford's next generation of electric vehicles. You will gain hands-on experience in
various aspects of product development from initial concept to volume production
3D CAD Modeling and Design: Create and modify 3D CAD models of motor-drivetrain components
using industry standard software. This will involve detailed modeling of complex geometries, ensuring
design for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA).
2D Drawing Creation: Generate detailed 2D engineering drawings from 3D models, adhering to
GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) practices.
CAE Analysis: Conduct finite element analysis (FEA, CFD, Thermal Simulation) to validate designs,
predict performance, and identify potential failure modes. You'll be working with experienced engineers
to interpret simulation results and iterate on designs.
Validation: Development of prototype hardware, test fixtures, test plans, technical specifications, as
well as conducting component and system level validation testing/characterization.
Collaboration: Work effectively within a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with engineers from
various backgrounds (electrical, controls, manufacturing, etc.).
You will be expected to communicate
your ideas clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, including GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
Proficiency in 3D CAD software (CATIA preferred).
Experience with CAE software (ANSYS, GT Suite, MATLAB, PYTHON) is a plus.
Familiarity with electric motor technology and principles.
Familiarity with fluid systems (pumps, heat exchangers, flow balancing) Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
Strong communication and teamwork skills.
Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively
What you'll receive in return: As part of this exciting program, you'll enjoy a high level of involvement with an exceptional team of industry innovators and visionaries. You'll contribute in a meaningful way to our important, breakthrough work. And you'll develop the skills that will give you a significant edge in your future career pursuits.
