As part of our IPI (In-Plant implementation team) team, you’ll help build the world-class, state-of-the-art smart vehicles the world expects from us. Within our plants around the world, we’re constantly developing new technologies and processes to further increase our efficiency.

We are seeking individuals with experience implementing Plant Floor Systems in an automobile assembly environment. The ideal candidate will have 1-3 years’ experience with Rockwell PLC’s and HMI’s. As a member of the In Plant Implementation team, you will be part of the team that is implementing Ford’s Next Generation Automated Vehicle Scheduling (NGAVS) application. In that role, you will be responsible for the integration of NGAVS with Ford Vehicle Operations tooling and process control systems.
