Ahsan Qamar is a proven leader blending technical mastery with strategic management, delivering world-class products that delight customers. My passion lies in driving engineering excellence, fostering high-performing global teams, and executing complex projects with precision. I’ve delivered multi-million-dollar projects and driven innovations that redefine industries. With extensive experience managing people, budgets, contracts, and partnerships, I’ve cultivated diverse, top-tier teams across regions—uniting talent to solve tough challenges and deliver results.
Complex systems shape our world, but failures—like the Mars Climate Orbiter, autonomous systems’ perception and decision misjudgments, and millions of automotive recalls—highlight the stakes. It takes visionary systems engineering leadership to craft flawless solutions, ensure safety and security, and harness emergent behaviors. That’s where I thrive.
With a career spanning robotics, automotive, semiconductors, and aerospace, I bring technical depth and executive acumen to every challenge. Recently, I was tapped by Ford’s leadership to pioneer their Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) Platform, scaling it from concept to first release and growing a 90-person team across the US, Mexico, and Europe.
