We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world — together. At Ford, we're all part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

The Charging and Energy Infrastructure Cybersecurity Engineer will act as a technical lead for the security of our charging and energy ecosystem, including EVSE, home energy management systems, and grid integration. You will be responsible for developing security designs, writing requirements, and researching future energy security technologies for infrastructure products.

You will work closely with product teams as they innovate, source new products, and design new features, performing threat models and developing security controls through a collaborative partnership.

You will maintain an in-depth understanding of the technologies under review, working to close security gaps, mitigate identified vulnerabilities, and report risks and findings to security management. As a security subject matter expert on the Charging and Energy Infrastructure Cybersecurity Team, you will shape the security posture for current and future energy products to ensure our infrastructure remains resilient and secure.
