About the role
Ford of Canada's operations include a national headquarters, three vehicle assembly and engine manufacturing plants, three parts distribution centres, and three Connectivity and Innovation centres. Ford employs approximately 7,000 people in Canada, while an additional 18,000 people are employees in the more than 400 Ford and Ford-Lincoln dealerships across the country.

The Digital Manufacturing Systems team is seeking a highly motivated senior systems engineer to help imagine, invent, and implement technology used to manufacture the next generation of Ford vehicles. Our environment fosters product innovation, rapid iteration, and a liberating amount of autonomy. Our development stack is varied and involves a wide variety of technologies including low-level and server-side programming. As a senior engineer you will be expected to implement never done before solutions on not yet shipped hardware.
Our team believes in fun, camaraderie, learning, and collaboration at work, and are looking for someone that shares those values. We hold each other and our solutions to the highest standards, and maintain that through constructive code reviews, brainstorming sessions, and pair programming when appropriate. We also value personal relationships and take the time to get to know each other and our partners. Sound good? We'd love to hear from you.
Your primary focus will be creating the "connective tissue" between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and the front-end tools used for vehicle diagnostics and manufacturing. You will not just write code; you will make sense of massive engineering datasets to ensure they are actionable for technicians and software deployment teams.
You'll have...
Education
- Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering, or a related field. (Successful candidates will be required to provide proof of degree completion for the highest level of education attained. If the degree was obtained from a school outside of Canada, an Education Credential Assessment report showing Canadian equivalency is also required.)
Experience
-
Minimum 5 years of experience in systems engineering or application development (Senior level).
-
Minimum 3 years of experience with the following:
Front-End Development: Developing responsive, interactive web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks (React or Angular).
3D Rendering: Utilizing WebGL or WebGPU for high-performance 3D visualization.
CAD/PLM Integration: Hands-on experience with Siemens NX/Teamcenter or Dassault Systems 3DExperience, specifically focusing on data extraction and conversion.
Programming: Proficiency in C++ or C# for automation and backend logic.
Data Processing: Experience designing pipelines for the ingestion and optimization of 2D/3D CAD formats.
API Design: Implementing RESTful APIs to serve complex data to front-end applications.
Version Control: Expert use of Git for source code management.
Even better if you have...
Education
Masters degree in Computer Engineering, or a related field. (Successful candidates will be required to provide proof of degree completion for the highest level of education attained. If the degree was obtained from a school outside of Canada, an Education Credential Assessment report showing Canadian equivalency is also required.)
Experience
- Experience with vehicle diagnostics or embedded software deployment (understanding how software interacts with vehicle hardware).
- Familiarity with cloud-based backend services (e.g., Google Cloud) for data processing. A background in "Application Engineering" where you have delivered tools directly to end-users in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
This posting is for an existing vacancy within our team.
Our focus is to build the best team. If you think you can bring value to Ford, love to collaborate, prioritize and aim to deliver excellence in everything you do, we encourage you to apply!
We thank all candidates for their interest, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
Ford of Canada is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to a culturally diverse workforce. Accommodations for applicants with disabilities throughout the recruitment, selection and/or assessment processes, where needed, are available upon request. Please inform Human Resources of the nature of any accommodation(s) that you may require.
Candidates for this position must be legally entitled to work in Canada. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, does not sponsor work permit applications.

What you'll do...
The primary responsibilities for this position include but are not limited to:
CAD Pre-processing & Data Pipelines: Design and implement robust pipelines to extract complex engineering data from central PLM systems (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter). You will transform and optimize this raw CAD data into lightweight, high-performance formats suitable for web-based visualization and diagnostic use.
Front-End Rendering & Visualization: Develop responsive web applications with advanced 3D rendering capabilities using WebGL and WebGPU. You will build the user-facing interfaces that allow personnel to interact with 3D models to pinpoint defects and troubleshoot vehicle electronics.
Diagnostic Application Context: Apply an effective application-level understanding to ensure data models align with vehicle diagnostic needs. This includes integrating car-embedded software deployment data into visualizers to help technicians verify software states and hardware configurations.
Workflow Automation: Develop and maintain automation scripts and internal data models using C++, C#, and platform-specific languages to streamline the flow of data from design to the factory floor.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, and IT teams to gather requirements and translate technical vehicle data into intuitive visual tools. You will bridge the gap between "raw data" and "user needs."
Technical Mentorship: Lead code reviews and provide technical guidance to ensure code quality and adherence to standards. You will manage source code repositories (Git) and participate in the full DevOps lifecycle, including branch management and pull request workflows.
Impact: Directly influence the production quality of Ford vehicles by solving complex challenges at the intersection of 3D computer graphics, software engineering, and automotive diagnostics.
