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? In this position... The Ford Electrified Systems Engineering team is looking for a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Systems Engineer to help design and maintain current and future HIL battery simulators which serve as the testbeds for Battery Management System (BMS) software validation. You will work in a team environment to deliver HIL battery simulator testbeds on time with efficiency and quality. As a HIL Systems Engineer, you will develop expertise in electric and hybrid vehicle high voltage traction battery fundamentals, gain knowledge in vehicle electrical and communication architectures, and become familiar with Ford's Global Product Development System. This position collaborates closely with HIL Hardware Engineers, HIL software engineers, electrical technologists, suppliers, BMS Systems Engineers, BMS Software Developers, and Test Engineers to develop a strong understanding of the vehicle functions and implement appropriate design strategies for new features and updates. Ford Motor Company was built on the belief that freedom of movement drives human progress. It's a belief that has always fueled our passion to create great cars and trucks. And today, it drives our commitment to become the world's most trusted mobility company, designing vehicles for a smart world that helps people move more safely, confidently, and freely. The Electrified Systems Engineering (ESE) organization is responsible for delivering the best fuel economy and refined Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Battery Electric vehicles in every segment in which we compete, consistently delivering the best custom vehicle value and profitably while delivering these objectives with performance and smoothness of operation that exceeds our customer's expectations. Take advantage of this opportunity to work in one of Ford's most dynamic and growing organizations and further Ford's "Power of Choice" initiative.
