Your leadership will be the bridge between core engineering principles and real-world vehicle performance, ensuring that every pump, line, and vapor management system meets the highest standards of excellence.

You'll Have...

• Deep subject matter expertise in Ford's D&R (Design & Release) and Core Engineering processes, specifically within Fuel Systems.
   
• History of building, mentoring, and scaling high-performing engineering teams.
   
• Experience in Six Sigma, 8D, or A4 methodologies, with the ability to navigate complex technical challenges with precision.
   
• Ability to distill complex engineering data into compelling narratives for executive-level presentations.
   
• Possess the "mission-first" mindset required to guide your team through high-priority, time-sensitive situations-including evenings or weekends when critical milestones are on the line.
   
• Familiarity with Engineering Excellence and Tech Club processes, ensuring that Ford's technical standards are never compromised.
