Product Development Engineer

In this position...

You will be part of an engineering team designing advanced electronic control units for next-generation vehicles. You will collaborate with other engineers to block-diagram, design, implement, simulate, validate, and optimize circuits in your section. You will be responsible for executing a rigorous hardware test plan in our state-of-the-art laboratories to ensure our hardware meets Ford's world-class quality standards.

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters. Ford's Research and Advanced Engineering team takes new ideas from theory to reality. Every day, we develop advanced energy management and propulsion technologies, create cutting-edge materials and manufacturing processes, and curate world-class cabin experiences that redefine what it means to drive a Ford.

What you'll do...

• Design high-speed digital circuits to meet section requirements.

• Design circuits using industry-standard schematic capture tools.

• Implement layouts for assigned subsections.

• Design complex high-speed signals that meet impedance requirements.

• Perform worst-case analysis of circuits in your area of responsibility.

• Generate documentation that defines processor pin assignments.

• Develop detailed design documents.

• Perform failure mode analysis and generate process documentation.

• Define stress test routines required to validate functional sections.

• Design communication links between the processor, other internal subsections, and external modules.

• Formulate test plans to ensure component-level performance.

• Validation testing to ensure performance over temperature and voltage extremes.

• Perform root cause analysis and resolve issues in assigned sections.

• Participate in system design reviews.

• Interface closely with other teams, such as Software, Mechanical, and Manufacturing, as well as external component suppliers.

• Travel occasionaly as required.
