Job Description
We're looking for passionate engineers to join our dynamic team. If you have a fervent interest in system integration and thrive in collaborative group settings, we want to hear from you. This is not just any engineering role; it's an opportunity to be at the heart of the industry's most exciting challenges, working alongside like-minded professionals to innovate, integrate, and inspire.
As a Structural Adhesives and Sealer Engineer, you will be spearheading the next-generation development of adhesives and sealers critical for body and battery structures. Your role involves developing new technologies (materials) to support future architectures, guiding projects from their initial concept phase right through to launch.
The successful candidate will possess a profound breadth of knowledge in material engineering, coupled with a proven track record of innovative thinking and execution. This role demands a candidate who can guide the development and application of new technologies while achieving the highest standards of performance.
What you'll be able to do:

At Ford, the health and safety of our employees is our top priority. Vaccination has been proven to play a critical role in combatting COVID-19. As a result, Ford has made the decision to require U.S. salaried employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, unless employees require an accommodation for religious or medical reasons. Being fully vaccinated means that an individual is at least two weeks past their final dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine regimen. As a condition of employment, newly hired employees will be required to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination or an approved medical or religious exemption.
