Job Description

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

Use your technical expertise to make driving safer, easier and better for our customers. The Advance Driver Assistance Technology (ADAS) team develops state-of-the-art software and algorithms to deliver best-in-class features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and 360 camera systems. ADAS also developed Ford's industry-first Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, securing over 60 patents in the process. The team is responsible for the full end-to-end delivery of these features into production on all Ford vehicle lines.

In this position

We are seeking a program manager who can proactively drive decisions trading off time, budget, and scope on complex robotics systems to deliver Ford's next generation L2+ Autonomous vehicles.

What you'll do

  • Understand the big picture and what is important for Ford's next generation autonomous vehicles, and use that to help the engineering team prioritize their work
  • Build tangible, unambiguous objectives for highly technical engineering teams to work towards
  • Distill the story of the technical team's work (~3mo long projects of ~20 engineers) into digestible formats for you, your management team, and your leadership team to make decisions
  • You'll have

  • Minimum bachelors in a STEM field or 5+ years of program management experience
  • A demonstrated history of effectively communicating with engineering managers on technical topics
  • Ideally you'll have

  • A demonstrated ability to distill information
  • A demonstrated ability to set objectives
  • A demonstrated ability to drive decisions
  • A demonstrated ability to motivate teams
  • You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!

    As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a change maker, a technical expert, a culture builderor all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:

    • Immediate medical, dental, and prescription drug coverage

    • Flexible family care, parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

    • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members, and management leases

    • Established and active employee resource groups

    • Paid time off for individual and team community service
