We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.
\nIn this position, you will connect strategy to execution across some of the most critical technical domains in the vehicle. You will lead complex, cross-functional delivery across hardware and software systems, helping teams move from architecture and system design through execution, validation, launch, OTA evolution, and lifecycle support.
\nThis role will initially focus on diagnostics and in-vehicle networking, where strong program leadership is needed today, while also creating opportunities to expand across broader systems and core architecture domains over time. Your work will directly influence the execution and quality of upcoming programs built on Ford’s FNV3.x architecture and help shape the next generation of vehicle architectures as Ford continues its SDV journey.
\nYou will partner closely with engineering, product, validation, platform, strategy, and supplier teams to align technical plans, manage dependencies, resolve risks, and drive high-quality execution. This role is well suited for someone who can move fluidly between system-level technical discussions, program planning, and concise leadership communication.
\nYou will lead delivery across foundational architecture domains, drive execution for initiatives within Systems and Core Architecture, with an initial focus on diagnostics and in-vehicle networking. You will build and maintain delivery plans, milestones, schedules, and dependency maps across multiple teams and workstreams.
\nYou will translate architecture strategy into executable plans for current and future vehicle programs, lead complex cross-functional programs, coordinate across hardware, embedded software, platform software, validation, and partner teams to deliver high-quality technical outcomes.
\nYou will connect the dots from concept and design through implementation, validation, launch, OTA updates, and end-of-life support. You will partner closely with Tech Platform teams on platform cadence and program dependencies, and with Tech Strategy teams on long-term vision and technology direction.
\nYou will drive technical alignment and execution clarity, work effectively with engineers and technical leaders to understand architecture implications, system tradeoffs, delivery risks, and technical feasibility. You will help teams align on priorities, decision points, milestones, and execution plans.
\nYou will manage risk, scope, and change, identify program risks early, develop mitigation plans, and escalate issues when needed to protect timing, quality, and business outcomes. You will manage scope changes by assessing impact to timeline, engineering effort, validation, and release readiness.
\nYou will use data to drive decisions and visibility, define and track delivery and quality metrics for your programs. You will use dashboards, KPIs, and program health indicators to support decisions and improve transparency.
\nYou will communicate progress, risks, tradeoffs, and execution health clearly to stakeholders and leadership. You will improve the operating model, lead retrospectives and continuous improvement efforts to strengthen team effectiveness and delivery execution.
\nYou will contribute to scalable program management practices across SCA and the broader organization. You will help improve how Ford executes across systems, software, and architecture as we advance our SDV operating model.
