Jobs at Ford Motor Company

Lead System Integration, QA and System Engineering teams for IVI systems in EVs. Define integration, automated testing, and release processes; drive cross-functional delivery, debug complex hardware/software issues, mentor engineers, and manage timelines and resources to deliver production-quality infotainment software.

Design, build, and scale test infrastructure and tooling to validate software across vehicles, mobile, and cloud. Integrate automated tests into CI/CD, extend pytest and Appium tooling, run distributed test execution on Kubernetes/GCP, improve observability, and mentor engineering teams to drive automation-first quality practices.

Lead commercial growth for Ford Energy9s grid-scale and commercial BESS business by managing the sales pipeline, originating deals, serving as key account manager, coordinating technical and commercial proposals, leading cross-functional teams, negotiating supply and service agreements, and acting as technical liaison to translate customer requirements into product roadmap decisions. Frequent customer engagement and travel required to secure large-scale MSAs.

Design end-to-end digital and mixed physical-digital vehicle experiences. Translate early concepts into testable UI/UX solutions and prototypes, partner with engineering and product, map customer journeys, integrate new technologies, and present strategy to leadership while working within design systems and technical constraints.

Lead Ford's Experience Strategy & Design team to define and deliver next-generation in-vehicle UI/UX. Set design vision, drive large strategic projects, unite cross-functional teams, create prototypes and high-quality deliverables, communicate to executives, and ensure cohesive, scalable vehicle experiences from concept through delivery.

Own and evolve Ford's in-vehicle OTA update engine: design reliable update orchestration, write production async Rust, build developer tooling, contribute to CI/CD, container and multi-target build systems, perform high-signal code review, and collaborate with embedded firmware, vehicle software, and cloud teams to deliver end-to-end software updates.

Lead global sourcing and supply chain strategy for EV powertrain. Develop physics-based should-cost tools, drive make-vs-buy studies, negotiate commercial agreements, manage RFIs/RFQs, build supplier partnerships, reduce supply risk, ensure trade/tariff compliance, and collaborate with engineering and manufacturing to optimize cost and timing.

Design, build, and operate AI-powered full-stack applications and agentic workflows on GCP. Own architecture, IaC, CI/CD, integrations, databases, and developer productivity tooling while automating repetitive work and scaling RAG/LLM systems for production.

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 mechanical design of inverter parts from concept to high-volume production. Develop manufacturing processes, run DOEs and validations, design and execute lab tests and fixtures, plan and execute design verification test campaigns, optimize cost and robustness for automotive applications, work with vendors, perform RCA, and support manufacturing transition. Up to 20% travel.

Lead design, development, and maintenance of automated tests and system-level HIL test benches for automotive embedded software. Define requirements, author specifications, create V&V and regression test plans, execute Python-driven automation, collaborate with cross-functional teams, debug integrations, and ensure feature validation across connectivity, multimedia, infotainment, and power domains.

Serve as primary legal partner for Ford Energy9s BESS business: draft and negotiate complex commercial agreements, advise on federal/state energy regulation and standards, support product development and risk management, and enable strategic commercial growth.

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 architecture and development of core API services, data pipelines, and frontends. Drive requirements, design across teams, scope projects, lead multi-engineer delivery, improve tooling/processes, and participate in incident and problem management.

Design and implement core Android framework components for an IVI platform, build HAL and AIDL interfaces, analyze and optimize system performance, troubleshoot system issues, conduct code reviews, and maintain architecture and technical documentation while collaborating with product, UX, and hardware teams.

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.

Design, build, deploy, and operate large-scale cloud-native microservices and APIs supporting connected vehicle features. Own production services, implement CI/CD and canary deployments, perform performance testing and observability, participate in architecture and incident response, and collaborate across teams to ensure high availability and scalability.

Design and implement math- and physics-based lateral and longitudinal vehicle motion control strategies for a centralized vehicle motion control system. Lead supplier integration, subsystem design and reviews, functional safety analyses, firmware validation (hardware bring-up, labcar, SIL/HIL), and test plan development and execution. Collaborate with system integration, software, electrical hardware, and calibration teams throughout program development.

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.
