You have a strong baseline in a few platforms, are fearless about learning the rest, and enjoy bringing structure to complex business problems. * Analytical Curiosity: You want to know how the "big machine" works, specifically how engineering decisions impact material costs and capital spending, and how data can help drive better outcomes. * Collaborative Mindset, High Impact: You take pride in delivering high-quality solutions, share knowledge freely, and focus on achieving the best outcomes for the team and the business. You bring energy, ownership, and a strong drive to create meaningful business value. * Data Foundations: Strong experience in SQL and querying large, complex datasets; experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)/BigQuery or similar cloud platforms is highly valued. * Analytics & Automation: Experience using Python (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn or similar) to build predictive models, perform feature engineering, and automate workflows. * Visualization: Power BI dashboard design and data storytelling. * Financial Literacy: Strong understanding of financial principles, including cost forecasting, NPV/ROI modeling, budgeting, and capital investment analysis. ## Description * Develop Core Data Products: Design, build, and deploy scalable data products (combining BI, Cloud Data, and AI/ML) that replace manual processes across PD Finance and enable faster, more informed decision-making. * Drive Cost & Efficiency Insights: Analyze complex datasets-including Bills of Materials (BOM), supplier quotes, and engineering specifications-to identify, quantify, and track material cost savings and waste reduction. * Master & Build the Tech Stack: Design secure data pipelines and data models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and BigQuery. Write optimized SQL and Python to automate analyses, build predictive models, and generate actionable insights. * Architect Practical AI Solutions: Explore and prototype AI-enabled solutions that improve how finance and engineering teams access, understand, and interact with data. * Storytelling with Data: Build dynamic Power BI dashboards that translate highly complex technical and financial data into clear, intuitive insights for engineering and senior finance leadership. * Excellence (Deliver It & Own It): You are a creative problem solver. When you see a broken or manual process, your first instinct is to ask, "How can we automate or outsmart this?" You take absolute ownership of your code, models, and data quality. * Focus (Do Only What Matters & Bias for Action): You are relentlessly curious, highly self-motivated, and comfortable with ambiguity. You prioritize projects based on business impact, choosing the most efficient tool (whether BigQuery, Python, SQL, or an LLM) to deliver fast, repeatable value. * Collaboration (Seek to Understand & Solve Together): You do not thrive on individual recognition if it detracts from the team. You actively seek to learn from others, share your technical expertise to upskill your peers, and focus on what is right for Ford overall. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [How Machine Learning is turning the Automotive Industry upside down](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/61-how-machine-learning-is-turning-the-automotive-industry-upside-down) - [Advanced Typing in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/496-advanced-typing-in-typescript) - [Vectorize all the things!
