Ford Motor Company
VIL Driver Assist Technology (DAT) Simulation Engineer
Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, United States, 48120
Job Description
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?
Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life. We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more!
In this position... HIL simulation platforms still have tremendous untapped potential in the automotive industry. We are pushing the limits of HIL systems to deliver unmatched vehicle testing to improve vehicle performance and quality for all electric vehicles, next generation hybrids, and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) products now and in the future. You will be on the cutting edge of new testing technologies and techniques utilizing HIL, simulation platforms, VIL testing methods, and powertrain/vehicle dynamometers.
Do you enjoy working on complex systems engineering solutions? This position requires you to get your hands and mind busy working on delivering testing solutions for software features and hardware development for electric/hybrid vehicles and ADAS. You will be working on state-of-the-art system-level dynamometer systems with advanced capabilities including vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL), simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), vehicle/testing automation and HW/SW architectures.
Responsibilities
What you'll do... Create and leverage advanced simulation capabilities for testing vehicles on an advanced dynamometer system for vehicle system software/calibration development. You will use tools such as dSPACE/NI HIL Systems, Tracetronics ECUTest, ATI Vision, IPG CarMaker, etc. in an integrated system testing platform. Program, configure, and update simulation test equipment to enable new and emerging feature-level testing. Develop advance scenarios and test cases in tools like dSPACE ASM and IPG Carmaker in order to emulate realistic driving conditions, roadways, test drives, and interactions with other traffic and pedestrians. Design and develop automation test strategies that leverage Ford's toolchains as well as write test automation scripts to streamline the calibration and verification and validation process. Create intelligent post-processing tools that allow users to quickly check test validity as well as deep-dive into test results to better understand where changes are required in an efficient software driven process.
Qualifications
You'll have... B.S. Engineering (BSME or BSEE) or Computer Sciences or similar. 3+ years' experience with dSpace or other real-time HIL systems in a professional setting. 3+ years' experience with MATLAB and Simulink in a professional setting. 3+ years' experience with vehicle communication networks and tools (Vector/Intrepid/etc.).
Even better, you may have... Technical Master's Degree (ex. MSME, MSEE, Computer Sciences). 5+ years' experience with dSpace or other real-time HIL systems in a professional setting. 5+ years' experience with MATLAB and Simulink in a professional setting. 2+ years' experience with vehicle simulation toolsets (ex. CarMaker, CarSim, ASM etc.). 2+ years' experience with communication protocols (ex. CAN, EtherCAT, ModBus, UDP, TCP, etc.). Proficient in the following programming languages: Python and/or C/C++. Experience with powertrain or vehicle dynamometer test systems. 3+ years' experience with calibration tools and data analysis (ex. ETAS, ATI, Vector tools, etc.). Vehicle Powertrain or ADAS Calibration Experience. Experience with Tracetronics ECU-Test or other automation scripting tools. Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
