role at
Ford Motor Company
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?
In this position, you will be part of the Ford Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) team. Utilizing design thinking and user experience methods, you will work to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. You will contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more, helping define tomorrow’s transportation.
What you will be able to do: We bring engineering ideas to life. In ADAS, we make driving more exciting, enjoyable, and safe. Ford’s ADAS team designs and develops features like 360 Camera Visualization, BlueCruise, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Cross Traffic Alert, and Active Park Assist.
We are seeking professionals who can contribute to our efforts with experience and passion in the development of features, functions, sensors, ECUs, models, and software. We will also involve other elements of the process as we prioritize adding high‑quality people to the team rather than squeezing engineers into a specific role.
Responsibilities
Lead the development of feature engineering deliverables including concept, logical and technology requirements, boundary diagrams, design analysis, failure mode avoidance, robustness fields and test procedures.
Work with hardware, software and test teams to ensure feature requirements are cascaded, aligned, and accepted.
Develop and refine vehicle‑level use cases, interfaces and feature‑level specifications to ensure production feature delivery.
Establish feature objectives and ensure system operation meets the end‑user/customer objectives through a structured system‑level test methodology.
Work with functional safety engineers to develop and refine feature functional safety requirements, item definition, hazard analysis/risk assessment and functional safety concept compliance with ISO‑26262/Ford functional safety process.
Ensure new features seamlessly integrate with existing features to provide a superb customer experience.
Work with the virtual validation teams to establish CAE procedures to reduce dependence on vehicle‑level testing.
Assure that the integration of affected systems meets the requirements for desired feature‑level performance.
Support development of design validation methods to ensure feature robustness across all vehicle environmental conditions and customer usage profiles.
Use data analysis techniques and methods from data generated by track, lab and model‑based validation to ensure features achieve desired requirements.
Plan and help execute real‑world evaluation of ADAS features via vehicle/HIL/virtual testing and identify system problems/issues.
Support and coordinate root‑cause analysis with internal functions and external suppliers to ensure delivered system achieves feature requirements.
Support sign‑off of feature‑level performance for first vehicle program implementation.
Gather quality history to manage and drive feature quality and improvements (e.g., data analytics/VOCF/Launch feedback/Warranty/External metrics such as JD Powers).
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Computer Engineering or related; or foreign equivalency; or a combination of equivalent experience and education.
Minimum 5 years of experience in ADAS, aerospace, or automotive system engineering.
Minimum 5 years of experience with products in mass production.
Minimum 2 years of experience in requirement authoring.
Minimum 5 years’ experience with systems based on mass‑produced cameras.
Strong communication skills and ability to lead ad‑hoc teams.
