Studio Engineer (AI & Generative Workflows)

Studio Engineer (AI & Generative Workflows) Dearborn, MI, United States (Hybrid) Job Description Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow's transportation. In this position... As a Studio Design Engineer (AI & Generative Workflows), you will bridge the gap between visionary design and engineering reality by leveraging the next generation of computational tools. You won't just concept solutions; you will build the systems that optimize it. You will use vibe coding to rapidly prototype studio tools, utilize AI-driven 3D generation to accelerate surface scaffolding, and deploy autonomous agents to streamline the feasibility process. Your goal is to move the studio from traditional CAD process to an AI-augmented environment where the "emotive character" of a design is protected by intelligent, real-time engineering feedback. Responsibilities What you'll do...

Architect AI Agents:

Develop and deploy custom AI agents to automate the monitoring of Design Development Checklists, data pedigree, and property setup integrity.

Vibe Coding & Visual Scripting:

Use natural language-based programming (vibe coding) to create bespoke Python scripts or macros within Catia/3DX that automate repetitive "Studio property" setups and manikin drops. Generative 3

D Scaffolding:

Lead the development of Surface Scaffold files by integrating AI-assisted 3D modeling tools (e.g., Vizcom, Luma AI, or Generative CAD) to rapidly explore "what-might-be" scenarios before committing to formal A-surface.

Intelligent Feasibility:

Lead the completion of studies within Design Feasibility Checkpoint Process by using legacy and predictive AI models to identify potential hardpoint or legislative conflicts earlier than traditional methods allow.

Augmented Integration:

Lead the integration of A-surface with thematic and functional inputs, using AI to ensure the emotive character of the art is preserved while meeting strict engineering and attribute requirements.

Provocation & Optimization:

Provide concept alternatives through generative design prompts, using AI to provoke new ways of reconciling thematic intent with program assumptions.

Data Orchestration:

Manage the flow of data into and out of the studio using automated pipelines, ensuring the "data pedigree" is maintained via intelligent version control. Qualifications You'll have... Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or Computer Science with a focus on Design. 3+ years of experience in complete vehicle layout/package, including Body and Trim. 1+ years of experience in Catia V5 or 3DX. Demonstrated experience in "Vibe Coding" (e.g., using Replit, Cursor, or LLMs to build functional tools/scripts without deep manual coding). Familiarity with AI-3

D Workflows:

Experience with generative design tools or text-to-3D/image-to-3D pipelines. Even better, you may have...

Agentic Workflow Experience:

Demonstrated ability to build or use "Agents" (e.g., AutoGPT, CrewAI, or custom GPTs) to automate professional workflows. Strong familiarity with legislative requirements and the ability to train/prompt AI models to check for compliance. Experience in leading and presenting AI-generated design explorations to decision-making forums. A "Hacker" mindset: A proven track record of finding unconventional ways to use new technology to solve old engineering bottlenecks.
