About the role
We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.
Shape the Future of Manufacturing with ATP
At Ford, we aren’t just building vehicles — we are redefining how the world moves. 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. Driven by our vision to "build once, scale everywhere," we bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and global physical deployment.
Our guiding mantra is simple yet relentless: Scale what matters, win what's next.
If you are a high-tech builder, thinker, or innovator who thrives at the intersection of software, hardware, and massive scale, ATP is where you belong. Join us, and write the next chapter of industrial history.
In this position...
This is a hands-on engineering role that blends data science and software engineering.
Plant problems rarely have one obvious cause. Our answer is AIR (Agentic Issue Resolution), ATP's AI system that helps plant teams investigate and fix production issues. AI agents take an issue, gather approved evidence from plant systems, connect it to what the plant already knows, and recommend a fix that a person reviews and approves.
As an AI Agent Engineer (Controls), you build those agents: how they plan an investigation, which tools and data they use, and how they explain what they found. You will work on site at Ford's Manufacturing Technology Development Center (Redford, MI) with the supervisors and engineers who use what you build.
What you'll do...
Build and Orchestrate Agents
Build agents that classify issues, plan investigations, call tools, and draft recommendations.
Design multi-step and multi-agent workflows with clear hand-offs and stopping rules.
Write and maintain prompts, tool definitions, and retrieval logic.
