EDS Ford Champ (Intern)

Ford Champs will allow to get to now different business areas through 12 months, while you improve your skills and become a better professional.

As an EDS Ford Champ, you will be responsible of collaborating directly with the EDS Process Team and the Jira EDS Team inside Product Creation & Industrialization to drive process excellence across the vehicle wire harness lifecycle. You will help elevate the EDS community's work to a higher level of excellence by applying process mapping, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), cutting-edge AI tools, and engineering knowledge to design, create, and industrialize automotive Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS).

What you´ll do:

Process & Value Stream Mapping (VSM): Map, analyze, and optimize end-to-end engineering and industrialization workflows for vehicle wire harnesses, identifying efficiency gaps and streamlining delivery cycles.

AI Tool Integration & Workflow Innovation: Apply modern AI tools, prompt engineering, and intelligent automation to assist in process documentation, workflow standardization, and technical decision-making across the EDS ecosystem.

Jira EDS Architecture & Operations: Support the execution and maintenance of the EDS Jira ticket architecture (Program → Milestone → Deliverable), ensuring full traceability, auditability, and alignment with GPDS/PDP milestones.

EDS Process Library & Confluence Management: Maintain, structure, and enrich the EDS Process Library in Confluence—authoring standard procedures, process guides, templates, and RASIC role matrices to serve as the single source of truth.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Community Engagement: Collaborate with internal engineering teams, process leads, and external suppliers to support change management initiatives (e.g., Design Change Requests - DCRs) and promote process adoption.

Metrics, Dashboards & Governance: Monitor process feedback, track improvement requests via Jira dashboards, and create user-friendly onboarding materials and quick-reference guides for the EDS engineering community.

What you´ll need:

• Active student from any of the last 2 semesters of Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronic engineering
• 90% English skills (Oral, reading, writing, and listening)
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Knowledge of or strong interest in Process Mapping, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), and continuous process improvement methodologies.
• Passion for leveraging AI tools and digital innovation to solve engineering challenges and automate documentation workflows.
• Basic understanding of automotive Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS), wire harness design, or vehicle product development (GPDS/PDP).
• Familiarity with collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft SharePoint, or Visio.
• Proactive mindset, detail-oriented work ethic, and ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.
