Original job description

Shape the Future of Manufacturing with ATP

At Ford, we aren’t just building vehicles - we are redefining how the world moves. Within the Advanced Industrial Technology and Platforms (ATP) organization, we are the architects of Ford’s next industrial revolution.

Our mission is clear: we build and scale industrial platforms, technologies, and capabilities that unlock Ford Firsts to drive sustained competitive advantage in manufacturing. Driven by our vision to "build once, scale everywhere," we bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and global physical deployment.

Our guiding mantra is simple yet relentless: Scale what matters, win what's next. If you are a high-tech builder, thinker, or innovator who thrives at the intersection of software, hardware, and massive scale, ATP is where you belong. Join us and write the next chapter of industrial history.

Ford's Advanced Technology & Platforms organization is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a global robotics software engineering team. The team develops the application software used on a range of robot types, including mobile robots, manipulators and humanoid systems.

The software must support robots with different physical configurations and capabilities while reusing common components wherever practical. This role will guide that development, establish delivery plans and ensure the software is tested and ready for use on physical robots.

The Engineering Manager will be responsible for team leadership, software delivery and technical execution. The role includes hiring and coaching engineers, setting priorities, coordinating work across teams and contributing to technical reviews. The manager will work closely with robotics architecture, hardware, simulation, platform and testing teams.

Lead software development and delivery

Lead development of the software application stack used across Ford's advanced robotics programs
Define delivery plans, milestones, responsibilities and dependencies
Support reuse of common software components across different robot platforms
Oversee software for robot description and kinematics, device integration, navigation, manipulation, simulation and system bring-up
Establish software quality, testing and release practices
Track progress, manage risks and communicate issues with proposed actions

Lead and grow a global team

Lead, coach and develop a globally distributed robotics software engineering team
Hire engineers as the team and project portfolio grow
Set clear goals, responsibilities and expectations
Support professional development and build technical leadership within the team
Maintain regular communication and effective working practices across locations and time zones
Participate in code reviews, design reviews and technical problem solving as needed

Work across engineering teams

Turn technical direction into practical engineering plans
Coordinate software interfaces with robotics platform, data and infrastructure teams
Partner with hardware teams on robot builds and system integration
Work with simulation and testing teams to validate software before deployment
Provide clear status updates and raise risks early

Minimum Qualifications:

BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical background
Hands-on robotics software experience, including ROS 2, navigation software, robot models and kinematics, and device drivers
Strong C++ and Python skills
At least 3 years of experience managing software engineers
Experience delivering software for physical robots
Experience developing software used across more than one robot platform or hardware configuration
Experience hiring, coaching and developing software engineers
Experience leading distributed engineering teams
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Experience creating and delivering engineering plans with milestones, owners and dates
Ability to work effectively with technical leaders and partner engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications:

MS in Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical Engineering
Humanoid, mobile manipulator, or legged platform experience
Simulation-driven development: Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or equivalent – including sim-first bring-up and hardware-in-the-loop testing
Experience with behavior trees, state machines or task planning software
Experience developing shared software platforms used by multiple products
Experience working with international engineering teams
Familiarity with technology or manufacturing readiness processes
Experience with software updates, configuration management and version control for deployed robot fleets
Safety-relevant or regulated software development

Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage
