Jobs at Ford Motor Company

Lead a small ME team to develop customer-facing electromechanical and electronics features from concept through prototype, validation, production release, and sustaining. Design HMI and consumer-electronics style components, integrate with other systems, perform bring-up and reliability testing, rapid prototyping, and support field failure analysis and production ramp.

Lead and grow a battery validation team; commission and ramp the EVDC2 battery lab; manage daily operations, safety (HV and abuse testing), budgets, capital equipment, and test execution; align with cross-functional teams; drive data and automated test system strategy; and manage vendor partnerships to validate next-generation EV batteries.

Lead concept development and detailed design of body structures, closures, exteriors, and chassis systems. Build and manage a hardware engineering team to create 3D geometry, meet cost/weight/function targets, optimize designs using analysis and testing, ensure regulatory compliance, implement GD&T, drive novel materials and manufacturing techniques to production, and collaborate with design, manufacturing, suppliers, and senior leadership through product launch.

Lead industrialization of thermal components for EV powertrains by bridging engineering, supply chain, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability and production readiness. Develop specs, perform DFM reviews, support 2-D drawings, conduct supplier evaluations and visits, define quality goals, manage PPAP/tooling capture, optimize cost, drive schedules, and help hire engineering and quality teams.

Lead cross-functional integration to develop next-generation electric vehicles from concept to launch. Manage program setup, schedules, change control, issue resolution, financial business cases, industrialization plans, and process improvements while coordinating marketing, design, engineering, finance, and manufacturing to deliver timely, feasible, and customer-focused products.

Lead Class A surface feasibility and development from concept through production, guiding cross-functional teams, balancing design and manufacturing trade-offs, running surface reviews, publishing critique sheets, and managing studio property, data, and setup to deliver high-quality, manufacturable surfaces on schedule.

Lead end-to-end business and technology transformation for Ford's EV initiatives by defining capabilities, assessing current and future-state operating models, driving cross-functional process and tool changes, managing scope and risks, and enabling adoption through change management, stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement.

Lead cross-functional teams to define and deliver next-generation EV products from concept to launch. Manage program setup, schedules, change control, financials, industrialization planning, and stakeholder communication. Drive product viability with marketing, design, engineering, finance, and manufacturing while improving product development processes.

Lead finance for Ford UEV and affordable vehicle forward-model programs, overseeing program profitability, material and investment target setting, financial planning, forecasting, and reporting. Partner with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing strategy teams to set and deliver cost and investment targets, prepare milestone financials and management reporting, and influence program decisions to achieve profitability.

Design, build, integrate, commission, and maintain electrical test assets (Labcars, HIL benches, fixtures, harnesses). Create CAD/layouts, BOMs, and build documentation; perform wiring, diagnostics, network debug (CAN/LIN/Ethernet), and system-level test/validation. Lead technicians during fabrication and commissioning, collaborate cross-functionally, support off-site field testing, and maintain rigorous documentation for repeatable prototype builds.

Develop and own multi-fidelity battery physics and lifetime models, integrate cell models with vehicle systems, define thermal and pack requirements from aging/warranty analysis, collaborate with experimental teams, create DVP for cell testing, and correlate models with field vehicle data to guide cell and product decisions.

Manage workforce planning and position lifecycle, build staffing forecasts and data models, lead launch of a position management tool, maintain BI reports and data integrity, support audits and remediation, and liaise with stakeholders to track and communicate audit status and corrective actions.

Design and implement firmware architecture and control/estimation algorithms for vehicle body systems (windows, lighting, latches). Lead hardware integration and validation on benches, labcars, and vehicles. Drive functional safety analyses, develop test plans and automation for unit/SIL/HIL testing, and optimize embedded code for timing, memory, and low-power operation.

Design, implement, and own embedded firmware architecture and control algorithms for body systems (windows, closures, lighting, actuators). Lead hardware bring-up, integration, validation, and testing on benches, lab cars, and vehicles. Apply functional safety, author technical documentation, drive cross-functional feature development, and develop automation for unit, SIL, and HIL testing.

Lead end-to-end sourcing strategy for critical EV program spend areas, partner with engineering from concept to launch, build should-cost models, lead make-vs-buy analysis, develop resilient multi-tier global supply base, drive automation, and shape supplier and agreement management systems to meet cost, quality, and delivery targets.

Lead vehicle-level software integration and validation across chassis, body, thermal, and other domains. Plan and execute in-vehicle test campaigns, perform ECU bring-up and flashing, collect and analyze CAN/LIN/Ethernet logs, support HIL setup, maintain prototype fleet readiness, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to debug and tune control systems.

Lead full-cycle recruiting for technical roles: conduct intake meetings, source active and passive candidates, perform phone screens, manage pipelines and offers, advocate for DEI, and partner with cross-functional teams on employer branding and hiring strategy.

Lead AI-native technical program delivery for the ADVEV platform: translate roadmaps into execution, build prototypes and AI automation, coordinate product and engineering stakeholders, drive release planning, and implement dashboards and agentic tooling to automate program operations and reporting.

Design, implement, and validate firmware architecture and control/estimation algorithms for vehicle body systems (windows, latches, motors, lighting). Lead hardware integration and bring-up on test assets and vehicles, develop tests (unit/SIL/HIL), collaborate cross-functionally, and participate in functional safety analyses to move features from prototype to high-volume production.

Design and develop door, hood, drop glass, and liftgate opening systems from concept through production. Create and optimize 3D geometry and designs using CAD, GD&T, analytical and physical testing, and ensure compliance with automotive regulations. Collaborate with design, manufacturing, suppliers, and present engineering solutions to senior management.
