Advanced Industrial Technology & Platforms (ATP) Organization - Who Are We? What We Do? Why We Do it?
“The Advanced Industrial Technology and Platforms (ATP) — is a new, centralized organization designed to position Ford to lead industrial innovation.
Ford is undergoing a historic industrial shift — from building great vehicles to building great systems that scale across them. The Advanced Industrial Technology & Platforms (AITP) organization was created to operationalize that shift. Our job is not to deploy isolated tools — it is to build a system that learns from factory truth, transforms it into scalable platforms, and turns those platforms into enterprise business value.
This organization will accelerate our digital evolution and manufacturing excellence – advancing the modernization of our Ford Manufacturing operations with cutting-edge technology.
ATP Ethos
Vision: Build Once, Scale Everywhere.
Mission: We build and scale industrial platforms, technologies, and capabilities that unlock Ford Firsts to drive sustained competitive advantage in manufacturing.
Mantra: Scale what matters. Win what’s next.
As part of Ford Global Manufacturing, ATP is designed to integrate directly into our manufacturing sites, partner across Skill Teams and drive innovation from initial idea to full production implementation.
The structure of the new ATP organization includes a) four vertical business units — focused on specific technology stacks and b) four horizontals — shared services designed to ensure scale, deployment and operational consistency.
Specifically, the Position Role as detailed below, is within the Horizontal Shared Service Team known as the:
Global Operations | Product Programs | Process Development Operations Team
