Job description

Overview

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. What will you make today?

As part of our Manufacturing team, you'll help build the world-class, state-of-the-art smart vehicles we're known for. In our plants around the world, we're constantly developing new technologies and processes to further increase our efficiency.

You will be the plant's champion for our Quality Operating System (QOS) and the lead authority on quality during the high-stakes launch of Ford's next-generation vehicles. If you are a strategic, data-driven quality leader ready to make a tangible impact on an iconic brand, this role is for you.

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like : will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder…or all the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including :

  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

Even Better You'll Have…

  • Prior experience leading quality for a new product or vehicle launch.
  • Working knowledge of Ford-specific quality systems (GQRS, QLS, etc.) is a plus.
