<p>We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?</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>Our team develops firmware and controls for HV embedded systems including battery management systems, charging and motor controls. In this role, you will be collaborating with many cross-functional teams from electrical architecture, system integration, and other platform software engineers for firmware development through all stages of the program development.</p> <p>What You'll do</p> <ul> <li>Lead the design and implementation of the firmware running on a distributed embedded system with multiple microcontrollers with a focus on optimizing power/energy consumption and safety. </li><li>Specification, design, implementation, and testing of both bare metal and RTOS low-level software for energy management and powertrain controls applications. </li><li>Develop embedded software from low-level base software to application modules. </li><li>Design and specify interfaces between application software and firmware. </li><li>Develop multicore, timing-critical software architectures. </li><li>Work with/resolve ambiguity in requirements/specifications/designs. </li><li>Create elegant, efficient real-time software components and interfaces. </li><li>Develop software component testing methodologies and implementations to ensure maturity/stability/release readiness. </li><li>Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation. </li><li>Design ISO26262 compliant software. </li><li>Define system-level power requirements and implement low-power modes of operation for each of the microcontrollers. </li><li>Instrument and profile software to identify opportunities for optimization on the submodule and system level. </li><li>Early phases of firmware development will focus on hardware validation, labcar testing, and setting up the automation framework for a unit. SIL and HIL testing. </li><li>Develop comprehensive test plans and perform thorough testing to validate firmware functionality, stability, and performance under various conditions, including low power modes. </li></ul> <p>What You'll do</p> <ul> <li>Lead the design and implementation of the firmware running on a distributed embedded system with multiple microcontrollers with a focus on optimizing power/energy consumption and safety. </li><li>Specification, design, implementation, and testing of both bare metal and RTOS low-level software for energy management and powertrain controls applications. </li><li>Develop embedded software from low-level base software to application modules. </li><li>Design and specify interfaces between application software and firmware. </li><li>Develop multicore, timing-critical software architectures. </li><li>Work with/resolve ambiguity in requirements/specifications/designs. </li><li>Create elegant, efficient real-time software components and interfaces. </li><li>Develop software component testing methodologies and implementations to ensure maturity/stability/release readiness. </li><li>Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation. </li><li>Design ISO26262 compliant software. </li><li>Define system-level power requirements and implement low-power modes of operation for each of the microcontrollers. </li><li>Instrument and profile software to identify opportunities for optimization on the submodule and system level. </li><li>Early phases of firmware development will focus on hardware validation, labcar testing, and setting up the automation framework for a unit.
