Chassis Control Software Integration Engineer

At Ford Motor Company we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams! With our incredible plans for the future of mobility we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrows transportation.

Electric Vehicle Digital Design (EVDD) is responsible for developing the key technologies and capabilities such as EV platforms batteries e-motors inverters charging and recycling to create ground-up breakthrough electric vehicles. By joining the best software engineering design and UX talent you will be a part of creating new technologies and concepts that can be applied across the Ford enterprise. Being on the EVDD team means building the future as Fords center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.

We are looking for embedded software professionals to join our agile technically expert engineering team that is proudly innovative adaptable curious and organized to capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities.

Why This Role Matters

At Ford we are redefining the relationship between software and physical vehicle dynamics. As aChassis Control Software Integration Engineer you wont just manage suppliers or write isolated code. You will sit at the absolute intersection of advanced software architecture and raw vehicle physics.

We are looking for an engineer whoapplies extensive and diversified knowledgeof these two domains to ensure that millions of Ford vehicles steer stop and handle flawlessly under all driving conditions. This is a high-stakes safety-critical role where your work directly impacts vehicle safety performance and the signature driving dynamics of iconic global platforms.

We are seeking atechnically credible and outcome-oriented engineerwho thrives on solving complex mechatronic challenges and delivering robust production-ready software.

Your technical credibility will not only influence our in-house software environment you will be given the autonomy to define new best practices architect future software platforms and mentor the next generation of Ford control engineers.

What You Will Do (Your Impact Ownership & Autonomy)

• Own In-House Software:Lead the end-to-end development of Fords in-house chassis software. You will design requirements develop model-based features auto-generate production-ready C-code and integrate it into Tier-1 software environments.
• Master System Complexity:Work across complex distributed vehicle architectures. You will ensure seamless communication and integration between electronic braking steering and active suspension systems.
• Drive Absolute Reliability:In a safety-critical domain quality is paramount. You will implement and enforce strict coding standards (e.g. MISRA-C) perform static code analysis and validate software on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulators and prototype vehicles.
• Influence the Process:You will have the autonomy to innovate. We want you to identify bottlenecks in our current pipeline and design new automated testing tools scripting environments and deployment workflows to scale our productivity.
• Collaborate and Resolve:Work side-by-side with System Feature and Calibration Engineers to debug root-cause and resolve complex electromechanical issues during critical launch phases.

The Minimum Requirements...

We value deep practical engineering capability over academic checklists. If you are a stellar outcome-oriented engineer with a proven track record of shipping reliable embedded software we want to talk to you.

• Education:Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Mechanical Engineering (with a strong controls/software focus) or a related technical field.
• Embedded Software Expertise:5 years of experience developing and debugging embedded software applications (using C/C or Model-Based Design).
• Model-Based Design:2 years of hands-on experience with Matlab and Simulink for control algorithm development.
• Vehicle Networking & Diagnostics:3 years of experience working with automotive communication networks (CAN/LIN) and Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) using Vector tools (such as CANoe or CANape).
• Modern Workflows:3 years of experience utilizing Software Configuration Management tools (like Git/GitHub) and automated test environments (HIL/Bench testing).
• Domain Experience:1 years of experience working within an engineering role for mechatronic or chassis systems (such as steering braking active suspension or powertrain controls).

Nice To Haves (What will help you stand out)...

• Advanced Degree:PhD or Doctorate Degree in Electrical Computer or Mechanical Engineering.
• Safety-Critical Expertise:Familiarity with functional safety standards (ISO 26262) static code analysis tools (such as Polyspace) and MISRA-C compliance.
• Systems Engineering Mindset:Experience defining software requirements architecture and applying rigorous Failure Mode Avoidance disciplines.
• Leadership & Mentorship Potential:A natural passion for sharing knowledge improving engineering quality standardizing processes and collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Problem-Solving Resilience:Demonstrated ability to step up take ownership and resolve urgent technical issues during critical vehicle integration or launch windows.
• Communications and project management skills demonstrating an ability to present analytical results to executives in verbal and written form and ability to influence senior leaders peers and other stakeholders.
• Strong leadership skills driven by quality and committed to improving customer satisfaction
