At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow’s transportation.

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. That means we’re continually seeking diligent, determined performers who think outside the box to help us find better and more efficient ways to manufacture our vehicles.

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. 

In this position... 

Candidate will work with vendor controls engineers to install, test, and debug standard NGAVS logic and drivers. He/she may also direct the efforts of others, including agency personnel or third-party controls integrators, depending on the project assigned. 

Although most NGAVS PLC code modules are standardized, the candidate may need to create custom PLC code for plant unique situations or modify standard templates and AOLs to address issues identified by others. Duties will include maintenance of PLC code for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix using Rockwell RS5000 software and creation and modification of HMI code for Allen-Bradley PanelView HMIs. Assignments may be in support of programs at anyof the Ford vehicle assembly plants in North and South America.
