About the role
- Manufacturing Systems Solutions Engineer operationalizing Ford’s digital manufacturing capabilities. Leading digital solutions that bridge engineering requirements and software development.
Responsibilities
- Develop Requirements: Utilize industry specific knowledge, lead workshops and interviews with manufacturing engineers, industrial engineers, plant personnel and leaders to identify opportunities. Translate these business needs into detailed technical requirements and user stories for the development team.
- Solution Alignment: Ensure that proposed digital solutions align with the broader manufacturing strategy, existing IT architecture, and industry standards.
- Development Oversight and Prioritization: Act as the technical product owner by managing the feature backlog. You will work closely with developers to clarify questions, remove blockers, and prioritize sprint tasks based on business value and urgency.
- Product Review: Conduct regular reviews of the software during the development phase to ensure the build matches the engineering specifications and quality standards.
