Join us in shaping the future of Ford Motor Company, as part of a global organization with exceptional colleagues in world-class facilities.

If you have what it takes to help us redefine the future of mobility, we’d love to have you join us.
What you'll do...
Ford creative designers apply their skills to design vehicle exteriors, interiors, components, color and materials, and user interaction. Designers use a variety of digital tools (including VR) to create concept sketches, renderings, and 3D digital design models and animations. Designers work with other disciplines in the development of scale and full size clay models, and ultimately interface with program engineering teams to develop concept designs and feasible production products.
Ford Designers use Microsoft Windows based computer systems with software applications that include:
• Alias Automotive 2D and 3D, VRED
• Gravity Sketch
• Blender
• Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
You'll have...
• Pursuit of a relevant Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Transportation Design or Industrial Design
• A GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent)
• Candidates must submit portfolios that illustrate exceptional design creativity, strong problem solving skills, a superior ability to visually communicate through sketches and renderings, an ability to think three-dimensionally and an understanding of proportions and form. Portfolios should contain projects that exhibit automotive designs for exteriors, interiors, components, color and materials, or user interaction.
• Analytical and creative problem-solving skills
• Flexibility in work location (on site in Dearborn, Michigan)
You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!
This position ranges from $3,500-8,300 monthly.
