Ford's mission to revolutionize automotive manufacturing through innovative, intelligent software by developing cutting-edge applications that bring data, automation, and intelligence to the factory floor, building platforms that power plants, enabling real-time insights and resilient operations.
Requirements
- Experience (typically 1+ years) in full-stack software development Strong proficiency in both front-end technologies (e.g., React.js, Angular, Vue.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS) and back-end technologies (e.g., Java, Spring/SpringBoot, Node.js, Python) – or equivalent technologies.
- 6 months working with cloud services (e.g., Azure, AWS, or GCP), containers, and deployment pipelines.
- Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
- Experience with performance tuning and optimization of high-throughput systems.
- Hands-on experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB).
- Familiarity with source control (Git), automated testing frameworks, and CI/CD tools.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack applications that enable data-driven decision-making on the manufacturing floor.
- Develop front-end interfaces for plant operators, engineers, and analysts using modern frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or similar).
- Implement robust back-end services, APIs, and data pipelines to connect plant-floor systems (PLCs, sensors, MES) with cloud-based platforms.
- Ensure performance, resilience, and security of applications that operate in hybrid environments—on-prem and cloud.
- Write automated tests, perform code reviews, and follow CI/CD practices to maintain code quality and deployment stability.
- Monitor, debug, and optimize applications running in production environments (including occasional support during manufacturing events).
- Contribute to system architecture and participate in technical design discussions with a focus on modularity and long-term maintainability.
Other
- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing engineers, data scientists, and operations teams to translate physical process needs into digital solutions.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- Candidates for positions with Ford Motor Company must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
- This position is hybrid. Candidates who are in commuting distance to a Ford hub location may be required to be onsite four or more days per week.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work closely with cross-disciplinary teams.
