About Jeffrey Seaman

BSME 2000, UMR

MSME 2002, UM-Dearborn

Jeff grew up passionate about cars and engineering. His father Robert L. Seaman, a fellow mechanical engineering academy member encouraged and supported Jeff as he attended University of Missouri-Rolla and started his professional career at Ford Motor Company in powertrain engineering. He served as the lead calibrator on the Coyote (New 5.0L) engine and Boss 302 Program. During this time, he led the innovation of the industry first TracKey and Aggressive Decel Fuel Shut-Off technologies. In 2017, he moved to Melbourne, Australia, to become the program manager for the Ranger and Everest programs, which launched in 6 plants across the globe, including the return of the Ranger product in the U.S. Market. Upon return to the U.S., Jeff took responsibility for the Ford Bronco and led the development of the “Modularity” functionality - which was industry first and allowed for significant advancements in customization. Jeff has received multiple patents for this concept and the development of accessories built upon this strategy.

Building upon the success of the Bronco, Jeff was appointed as the Icons Regional Product Line Manager, leading Mustang, Bronco, Bronco Sport Raptor, and the Ford GT programs as numerous special editions (such as Dark Horse and Bronco Everglades) were designed, developed, and launched.

Most recently, Jeff is the Chief Program Engineer for the T3 “Trust The Truck” program, the next generation Ford Electric Truck program to be built in Tennessee. In his free time, Jeff can be found working on his classic Mustangs.
