Senior Manager, Electrical Engineering

The new Ford Universal EV Platform and Ford Universal EV Production System were born from a team that combines the discipline, expertise and scale of a company with 122 years of experience with the speed, innovation and first‑principles thinking of a California‑based electric vehicle hardware and software skunk works team. The result: a simple, efficient, flexible ecosystem to deliver a family of affordable, electric, software‑defined vehicles – the first of which is a midsize, four‑door electric pickup that will be assembled at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant for U.S. and export markets.

Its launch is scheduled for 2027.
