<p>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.</p> <p>Ford's Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company's vision of a fully electric transportation future. EVDD is customer-obsessed, entrepreneurial, and data-driven and is dedicated to delivering industry-leading customer experience for electric vehicle buyers and owners. You'll join an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively, staying focused on only what matters, and delivering excellence day in and day out. Join us to make positive change by helping build a better world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.</p> <p>We are developing a next-generation electric vehicle platform from first principles. As the Chassis Software Integration Manager, you will lead a team of engineers responsible for integrating and validating all chassis-related software and ECUs at the vehicle level. Your team will own the software and systems integration of steering, braking, electronic park brake, TPMS, trailer brake systems, and stability control - ensuring they perform safely and reliably across prototype and production vehicles. This is a hands-on management role where you will balance technical oversight with people leadership. You will drive integration strategy, manage day-to-day execution, and partner with the broader vehicle integration team to deliver chassis functionality as part of the whole-vehicle software stack.</p> <p>What you'll do…</p> <ul> <li>Build and lead the Chassis Integration Team: software integration engineers, calibration engineers, and test specialists. </li><li>Own the integration and validation of all chassis-related ECUs (brakes, steering, EPB, TPMS, trailer brakes, stability control). </li><li>Define chassis software integration strategy, including regression loops, pre-merge/post-merge test plans, and release sign-off. </li><li>Manage prototype vehicle usage for chassis testing, working closely with vehicle-level integration and fleet operations teams. </li><li>Drive debug and root cause investigations for chassis-related software/hardware issues. </li><li>Collaborate with suppliers to manage ECU software releases, diagnostics, and interface definitions. </li><li>Partner with domain calibration teams to ensure vehicle attributes (brake feel, steering response, stability performance) are achieved. </li><li>Ensure compliance with functional safety (ISO 26262) and validation standards (ASPICE, FMVSS, etc.). </li><li>Develop and report on chassis software maturity metrics to leadership. </li><li>Mentor and coach engineers, fostering growth and cross-functional collaboration. </li><li>Support proving ground, winter test, and internal vehicle demo campaigns. </li></ul> <p>What you'll do…</p> <ul> <li>Build and lead the Chassis Integration Team: software integration engineers, calibration engineers, and test specialists. </li><li>Own the integration and validation of all chassis-related ECUs (brakes, steering, EPB, TPMS, trailer brakes, stability control). </li><li>Define chassis software integration strategy, including regression loops, pre-merge/post-merge test plans, and release sign-off. </li><li>Manage prototype vehicle usage for chassis testing, working closely with vehicle-level integration and fleet operations teams. </li><li>Drive debug and root cause investigations for chassis-related software/hardware issues. </li><li>Collaborate with suppliers to manage ECU software releases, diagnostics, and interface definitions. </li><li>Partner with domain calibration teams to ensure vehicle attributes (brake feel, steering response, stability performance) are achieved. </li><li>Ensure compliance with functional safety (ISO 26262) and validation standards (ASPICE, FMVSS, etc.). </li><li>Develop and report on chassis software maturity metrics to leadership. </li><li>Mentor and coach engineers, fostering growth and cross-functional collaboration. </li><li>Support proving ground, winter test, and internal vehicle demo campaigns. </li></ul>
