Responsibilities
In this position...
Engineering complex electrified propulsion systems in todays competitive market requires sophisticated modelbased development methodologies that can help deliver optimized products quickly and efficiently. There is a critical need to explore and identify high leverage system opportunities for improving customer experience and value of our electrified vehicle products.
Task:
- Development of propulsion thermal and climate system technologies aligned with strategic technology roadmaps for Fords conventional and electrified propulsion architectures
- Perform vehicle level analysis covering energy & thermal management drivability emissions and passenger comfort attributes across various vehicle propulsion architectures
- Develop tests analyses and verification methods to assess and ensure the virtual vehicles exhibit the intended functional behaviors across a full spectrum of vehicle operating conditions
- Perform largescale optimization on HPC/cloud environments to balance system attributes over regulatory and realworld customer cycles
- Perform largescale simulations of customer trips (connected vehicle data) and develop intuitive dashboards for quick insights into customer experience of Ford products
- Develop own and maintain a repository of simulation results across various vehicle architectures to support strategic roadmap development of future products
- Support development of physicsbased plant models of vehicle components and as relevant to the vehicle attributes of interest
- Perform competitive landscape analysis and maintain knowledge of emerging simulation technologies influencing different areas of modelbased development as relevant
