Ford's Advanced Technology Platforms (ATP) Sight organisation is seeking a Hardware Engineer to own the hardware backbone of our manufacturing intelligence products across both computer-vision and parametric sensing.

The role involves working across Sight.Sense and Sight.Vision product streams as a senior individual contributor, supporting the product engineering teams and working closely with various stakeholders to get camera, sensor and edge hardware from specification to shop-floor reality.

Responsibilities include:

- Camera & Sensor Hardware (Vision): Own end-to-end camera specification for vision inspection stations, evaluate and qualify camera vendors and models, define and maintain hardware bill-of-materials (BOM) standards.

- Sensing & Signal Acquisition Hardware (Sense): Own end-to-end specification for sensing and signal-acquisition hardware, evaluate and qualify sensor and data-acquisition vendors, define and maintain hardware BOM standards.

- Edge Devices & Network Infrastructure: Specify, test and validate edge compute devices, own hardware-side network requirements, specification and validation.

- Testing, Certification & Compliance: Lead hardware validation and test protocols, own UL, cUL and CE certification requirements and compliance documentation.

- Fleet Management & Sustaining Support: Establish and maintain fleet management practices, define hardware-side capture, buffering and egress requirements.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in hardware development, experience working with computer-vision and parametric sensing technologies, and excellent communication and collaboration skills.
