While attending school as a minority female, Hue Robinson always pushed herself to overachieve so she could fit in. It wasn't till she had the first engineering job that she understood how uncommon it was to be a female engineer.
Undaunted, Hue's career accomplishments include delivering innovative features in the F-150 console’s work surface, for which she was issued a patent. She also executed F-150’s milestones, improving its cost with design efficiencies and negotiations and implementing 100 percent production-tooled parts for the Development Completion Vehicle build.
More recently, Hue has led a cross-functional team at Ford. She’s currently tasked with easing the global microchip shortage’s impact.
“Her tireless dedication, combined with her knowledge of our process, and her ability to bring the team together to deliver the best outcome for the corporation, has been inspiring,” said Michael A. Ford, Chief Program Manager, Ford Motor Company.
While representing Ford at a leadership forum, Hue co-led Ford’s Women of Climate Control group and received numerous awards and certificates for her innovative designs.
Hue has also mentored Ford College Graduates, guiding them in business and decision-making skills. She has served as a judge for the Certified Michigan Interscholastic Forensics Association and volunteers for Hope Closet, a nonprofit that outfits young women for their special high school events.
"I'm in awe of all the powerful women who have paved the way and made it easier each day to succeed in shattering that glass ceiling," said Hue in her acceptance speech at the Women of Color STEM Conference awards gala this October.
