About Ford and ATP

Ford Motor Company has endured and thrived for more than 118 years by reimagining how things are built. Today, Ford is leading a once-in-a-generation transformation in manufacturing - scaling EVs, integrating humanoid robotics, additive manufacturing, AI vision, and digital platforms into one seamless operating system: the Ford Production System (FPS/FPS+) that operates within the FAST framework. Ford Motor Company is undergoing a historic industrial shift - from building great vehicles to building great systems that scale across them. The Advanced Industrial Technology & Platforms (ATP) organisation was created to operationalise that shift. Our job is not to deploy isolated tools; it is to build a system that learns from factory truth, transforms it into scalable platforms, and turns those platforms into enterprise business value. Advanced Industrial Technology and Platforms (ATP) is a new, centralised organisation designed to position Ford to lead industrial innovation. This team will accelerate our digital evolution and manufacturing excellence - advancing the modernisation of our Ford Manufacturing operations with cutting-edge technology. As part of Ford Manufacturing, ATP is designed to integrate directly into our manufacturing sites, partner across teams (GME, safety, etc.) and drive innovation from initial idea to full implementation.

ATP is led by Managing Director Yung Fung, reporting to Ford Chief Manufacturing Officer Bryce Currie. This structure includes four vertical business units - focused on specific technology stacks - and four horizontals - shared services designed to ensure scale, deployment, and operational consistency.

As part of the AITP organisation, the Sight Vertical is responsible for building an end-to-end-to- business around AI/ML anomaly detection products, operating across two product families: image-based detection (Vision) and parametric data-based detection (Sense). The Sense family - comprising Sense.Machine (MiniTerms), Sense.Tooling (AI ToolSense), Sense.MILO, Sense.Stamping and Sense.Energy - is Ford's scalable platform for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), process quality assurance, and zero-downtime, zero-defect manufacturing.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Sense Engineering Manager to build and lead the engineering organisation behind Ford's parametric anomaly detection portfolio.

The Position

Reporting to the Head of Product - Sense, you will directly manage the Sense Engineering Team, as well as managing relationships with capacity-increasing purchase service staff. You will provide the Engineering professional home for engineers embedded in product teams, and assign engineers to work streams with input from the Head of Product and Product Managers.

You will work closely with Sense Product Managers, product designers, and the Reach & Launch team, and partner with ATP Core, cybersecurity, data and infrastructure teams across Ford. Requires availability to travel internationally to Ford manufacturing sites globally, where required.

Success in Role

• A capable, healthy and appropriately sized Sense Engineering Team is in place, with clear ownership, active development plans and strong retention.
• Engineering capacity, demand and resource gaps are visibly and honestly managed - no unfunded work is absorbed silently.
• Architecture principles, decision records and technical standards exist and are used across streams.
• Sense products achieve their committed TRL/MRL/IRL gates on reproducible, defensible technical evidence.
• Engineering effort per plant deployment falls measurably; deployment cycle time compresses.
• A sustainable L2/L3 support model operates with named service owners, current runbooks and a declining rate of recurring incidents.
• Single-person dependencies are demonstrably reduced across all critical Sense services.
• Sense engineering practices are recognised as a reference standard within the Sight Vertical and ATP.

Engineering People Leadership

• Lead, develop and grow the Sense Engineering Team - setting clear role, performance and development expectations for every engineer.
• Run regular one-to-ones, coaching, feedback and performance reviews, and build individual development and career plans.
• Recruit, onboard and retain engineering talent for approved positions, and identify capability and succession gaps before they become delivery risks.
• Create opportunities for engineers to develop technical leadership, delegating meaningful technical authority rather than making every decision personally.
• Build an inclusive culture of quality, learning, collaboration and production ownership, and actively monitor workload and burnout risk.

Stream-Aligned Engineering Organisation

• Establish stable workstream-aligned engineering assignments where product priorities and capacity allow, and ensure each stream has sufficient technical ownership.
• Assign engineers to product streams with input from the Head of Product and Product Managers, making movement between streams explicit.
• Prevent engineers from being spread across too many concurrent priorities, balancing stable product context against the need for specialist support.

Engineering Strategy and Architecture Governance

• Own the Sense Engineering strategy and technical roadmap, and establish architectural principles and proportionate technical standards.
• Ensure systems are scalable, reliable, secure, observable and maintainable across cloud, edge and plant environments.
• Make technical debt, obsolescence and architectural risk visible, and maintain lightweight architecture and decision-review practices.
• Partner with enterprise architecture, CoreDS, AIR, FPS+, cybersecurity and infrastructure teams, ensuring product and feature convergence choices are evidence-led rather than automatic.

Capacity and the Delivery System

• Make capacity and demand transparent across Build, Launch, Run and platform work, jointly with the Head of Product.
• Provide feasibility, effort, dependency and risk evidence before commitments are accepted, and maintain capacity guardrails and WIP limits.
• Escalate when portfolio demand cannot fit available capacity, and escal...

Engineering Excellence and Sustainable Run

• Establish proportionate quality standards and Definitions of Done, with effective testing, code review, CI/CD and release control.
• Design and operate the Sense L2/L3 support model with clear L1/L2/L3 responsibilities, named technical owners, current runbooks and escalation paths.
• Establish incident management and learning-review practices, and prioritise elimination of recurring incidents.
• Implement and use engineering metrics to improve systems.

Deployment Industrialisation and Technical MRL Evidence

• Own technical deployment and commissioning readiness, reducing bespoke plant engineering through automation, reusable patterns and standards.
• Ensure infrastructure, identity, access, integration and security requirements are addressed ahead of each launch, partnering
