Global 3D Print Leader

At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Shape the Future of Manufacturing with ATP

Within the Advanced Industrial Technology and Platforms (ATP) organization, we are the architects of Ford’s next industrial revolution.

Our mission is clear: we build and scale industrial platforms, technologies, and capabilities that unlock Ford Firsts to drive sustained competitive advantage in manufacturing.

As the Global Print Leader, you will define and execute Ford's worldwide additive manufacturing strategy. You will oversee and benchmark technology across industries and bring the right solutions to Ford to achieve our cost, cycle-time, and material-strength requirements.

Responsibilities

• Benchmark additive technologies across aerospace, defense, and medical sectors, and bring the right ones to Ford to meet our cost, cycle-time, and material-strength requirements.
• Architect the complete digital thread,connecting generative design, slicing software, print execution, and robotic assembly into one seamless value chain.
• Oversee the deployment, utilization, and performance of FMC3D printers across all Ford manufacturing plants, ensuring each plant can rapidly print the tools, fixtures, and parts it needs.
• Deploy a unified cloud and IoT software ecosystem to monitor, connect, and optimize the global printer network in real time.
• Own the operational and financial KPIs for additive manufacturing, including a defined target for revenue generation.
• Partner with Ford Performance (Racing), FCSD, and Product Development to engineer high-value, low-volume, and complex additive solutions.
• Collaborate across the Advanced Industrial Technology (AIT) platform to integrate 3D printing with robotics, automation, and AI.
• Lead the strategic initiative to design, engineer, and assemble Ford's own custom 3D printers in partnership with the Advanced Technology Platform (ATP) group.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop a world-class global team while establishing Ford's technical standards for additive manufacturing.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of senior technical leadership experience, including building and leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
• Deep, hands-on expertise across the additive value chain,polymers, metals, and composites,from generative design through post-processing.
• Proven track record scaling complex hardware and software from the lab to a global, multi-site manufacturing footprint.
• Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing P&L, capital investment, and/or revenue-generating technical services.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
