Résumé du poste

Ford Motor Company’s Advanced Technology Platforms Sight organization is seeking a Hardware Engineer to own the hardware backbone of manufacturing intelligence products across vision and sensing hardware on plant floors worldwide.

You will specify cameras, sensors, edge devices, and network infrastructure, drive BOM standards, coordinate with Product, Engineering and Deployment teams, and ensure regulatory certification and fleet management across sites.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience specifying, testing or deploying industrial cameras, machine vision hardware, industrial sensors and data-acquisition hardware, or edge compute devices.
• Fluent professional English.

Responsabilités

• Own end-to-end camera specification for vision inspection stations, including resolution tier selection, lens selection, field-of-view and working-distance calculations, and lighting requirements for target part geometry.
• Evaluate and qualify camera vendors and models against plant-floor environmental conditions - vibration, dust, temperature and wash-down requirements.
• Define and maintain hardware BOM standards for repeatable, scalable station builds across plants.
• Own end-to-end specification for sensing and signal-acquisition hardware used by Sense products, including sensor selection and acquisition rate requirements.
• Evaluate and qualify sensor and data-acquisition vendors against plant-floor environmental conditions.
• Define and maintain hardware BOM standards for repeatable Sense installations.
• Establish hardware patterns for Sense deployments to reduce bespoke engineering.
• Specify and validate edge compute devices hosting vision inference and messaging.
• Own hardware-side network requirements and PLC interface considerations.
• Specify power supply mechanisms and supporting infrastructure for fielded hardware.
• Manage edge device procurement, provisioning and lifecycle.
• Develop hardware strategies for Sight Vision/Sense deployments.
