Decent for Michigan, I got the same offer to be a contractor at Ford early in my career. Ended up turning down as I’m not really interested with contract to hire positions. (Lack of benefits, no guarantee to get hired, etc) Also I have some friends that worked at Ford and were unhappy with the culture, although this may be completely subjective. At 2 years of experience I think you could find a much better direct hire offer. Personally I’d use this as an entry to negotiate salary elsewhere
Michigan is cheap, that’s good
What does Ford do with machine learning? Curious.
NMT, ASR, Self Driving (CV) , Hell lot of NLP
Oh of course, self driving, how could I forget. Cool stuff
Depends how good your wife’s coding is. Machine learning is new technology, hard to evaluate an employee from interviews alone for positions I think. The opportunity’s Ford faces in machine learning are very vast. Yes there is autonomous driving, but Ford has a deep history with manufacturing. There are many ways machine learning can be be applied to building vehicles as well... there also is post vehicle sales data analysis that could implement machine learning. Ford has announced that they are working to build a car built on android — one of the benefits of android is that data is sent back to Google. Same thing could happen with a car potentially when it connects to wifi— which could add quite a bit of value to the design process for future in-vehicle-software-updates.
If you join, Forget ford doing stuffs in a straightforward manner. Switching to FT is not easy regardless of how well you do. That depends on your supervisor, and most supervisors don't give a shit about contractors
Pretty good since it’s in Michigan
