In this position...

Engineering complex electrified propulsion systems in todays competitive market requires sophisticated model-based development methodologies that can help deliver optimized products quickly and efficiently. There is a critical need to identify and explore opportunities for improving customer experience and value of our electrified vehicle products. We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative engineer to play a key role in the development analysis and optimization of vehicle attributes across a broad range of electrified propulsion architectures. Leveraging high-fidelity simulation models you will perform detailed analysis across fuel economy performance thermal management emissions and passenger comfort with a specific focus on evaluating and optimizing hybrid energy management strategies to achieve best-in-class fuel economy while meeting stringent emissions regulations. The role also focuses on simulating and analyzing real-world customer data to ensure our vehicles meet and exceed customer expectations.

What youll do...

Conduct detailed vehicle-level attribute analysis (fuel economy performance emissions thermal management passenger comfort) using high-fidelity simulation models across diverse xEV architectures to drive development and optimization of Fords current and future xEV offerings.

Utilize models employing 1D and 3D methods to ensure comprehensive engine-out and tailpipe emissions analysis and assessment of compliance.

Perform functional validation and correlation of high-fidelity vehicle and propulsion system models against physical test data ensuring accuracy and reliability across steady-state and transient operating conditions.

Lead and execute large-scale attribute optimization studies leveraging HPC/cloud environments to balance system performance objectives over regulatory cycles and representative real-world customer driving profiles.

Develop intuitive dashboards and reports to effectively visualize and communicate complex simulation results and real-world data insights to engineering teams and stakeholders.

Collaborate extensively with propulsion systems controls and calibration engineering teams as well as other cross-functional teams (thermal climate etc.) to influence design decisions by providing simulation-based analysis and insights.

Youll have...

Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering Automotive Engineering or Electrical Engineering.

3 years of experience with analyzing various hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) architectures including but not limited to full plug-in series parallel powersplit and range extender systems.

3 years of experience with analyzing electrified propulsion systems hardware and controls including combustion engines electric machines batteries thermal systems driveline and chassis systems.
