Responsibilities
In this position…
The Manager, BMS leads all aspects of BMS technology development and program delivery for Ford Energy’s BESS products — from architecture and roadmap through validation, industrialization, launch, and field support — ensuring the BMS is delivered on time, with quality, and at or below cost. This role leads the BMS department through subordinate engineering leads/supervisors across key sub-disciplines (e.g., BMS Hardware, Embedded Software & Platform, and Controls/Diagnostics), and is accountable for the department’s operational business plan, headcount, and resource/budget allocation across these multi-disciplinary teams. This is a highly cross-functional role that draws heavily on Ford’s deep bench of automotive BMS technology, engineering talent, and lessons learned, adapting proven automotive practices (functional safety, cell balancing, state estimation, diagnostics/prognostics, controller hardware/software, and cybersecurity) to stationary energy storage. Success requires strong partnership across Ford Energy Engineering, Ford Auto Engineering, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, supply chain, and external suppliers.
