<p>Our team develops firmware and controls for HV embedded systems including battery management systems, power converters, charging, and motor controls. In this role, you will be collaborating with many cross-functional teams from electrical architecture, systems, and other platform software engineers for firmware development through all stages of program development.</p> <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. 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>What you'll do...</p> <ul> <li>Integrate core battery controls and
