This is a space defined by uncertainty, rapid change, and complex real-world constraints. Your work will help our engineering and manufacturing teams move faster while increasing quality, safety, and confidence in decisions. You’ll build systems that connect people, processes, and data across the prototype lifecycle—from early planning, scheduling, and readiness through verification, compliance, and continuous improvement.

If you’re energized by game-changing transformation, love working across the stack, and want to apply AI-accelerated engineering, metrics-driven prioritization, and customer-centric operations to high-impact industrial workflows, this role is for you.

  • Design and deliver production-grade software that supports prototype, testing, and plant-floor-adjacent workflows where requirements evolve quickly and ambiguity is normal.

  • Build and operate microservices and APIs (Google Cloud Platform, Java Spring Boot) with a focus on reliability, security, maintainability, and clear contracts.

  • Develop rich user experiences (Angular) that make complex operational data understandable and actionable.

  • Apply AI-driven development practices (e.g., Copilot-assisted coding, automated review assistance, and test generation) while maintaining strong engineering judgment and quality gates.

  • Drive data-driven development: instrument features, define success metrics, and use telemetry and analytics to guide iteration.

  • Champion test-driven development (TDD) and pragmatic automation to protect critical workflows (unit, contract, integration, load & performance, end-to-end).

  • Improve site reliability engineering (SRE) outcomes: reduce toil, strengthen observability, prevent regressions, and continuously improve incident response readiness.

  • Contribute to secure delivery pipelines and release strategies (CI/CD), including automated scans and compliance guardrails.

  • Partner with engineering leadership, business stakeholders, and end users to deeply understand problems and deliver customer-centric solutions.

  • Collaborate across teams and vendors to integrate upstream/downstream systems and external APIs.

  • Lead and mentor other engineers on engineering standards, delivery practices, and operational excellence (quality, security, and reliability).

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Significant professional experience building and operating production software.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted software development and strong prompt/verification habits.
  • Strong proficiency in backend development (Java / Spring Boot preferred) and API design.
  • Experience building or supporting modern web applications.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in an Agile environment and deliver iteratively.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical partners.
  • Built on one bold idea and the passion to define sustainable transportation for generations to come, Ford is a story about people with a vision that’s still being written.

    What We Do
  • Ford’s culture fuels the kind of momentum where ideas flow, progress is unstoppable, and our people keep redefining what it means to innovate.

    Our People and Culture
  • At Ford, your work matters, your life matters and we’re here to back the whole you—from growth to well-being—so you show up ready to realize your full potential.
