Ford's Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is leading the company's vision of a fully electric transportation future. We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Requirement Modeling and MIL Simulation Engineer to join our advanced engineering team.

In this role, you will play a critical part in shaping the future of virtual software validation for Chassis systems and features by building robust simulation environments, automating test infrastructure, and enabling engineers to validate hardware-dependent behaviors entirely in a virtual setting.

Responsibilities

  • Define efficient virtual SW validation methods by integrating plant models with controller software source code.
  • Develop necessary scripts and tools to automate software builds for software virtualization.
  • Engage cross-functional team members to coordinate on-time delivery of in-house and supplier software components to be compatible with the virtual test environments.
  • Develop virtual test environments and test cases to enable testing HW dependent test cases through simulation.
  • Work closely with ADAS feature and system engineers to resolve in-house software issues.
  • Work with the Hardware in the Loop, Software in the loop, and Model in the loop simulation teams to reduce dependency on vehicle level testing.
  • Develop and maintain automation for builds, test, data analysis, and reporting.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
  • 2+ years of requirement modeling and MIL development experience.
  • 2+ years of experience with Matlab/Simulink tools.
  • 1+ year of experience with Software Configuration Management & Version Control tools (e.g., Git, GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) within collaborative software development environments.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience integrating plant dynamics models with embedded controller software (MIL / SIL environments) for automotive chassis, vehicle dynamics, or related mechatronic subsystems (e.g., Braking, Steering, Suspension, or Powertrain).

Benefits

  • Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage
  • Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care, and more
  • Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
  • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases
  • Tuition assistance
  • Established and active employee resource groups
  • Paid time off for individual and team community service
  • A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day
  • Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.

The salary range for this position is $85,400-$143,200.
