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? 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. In this highly interdisciplinary role, you will work with multiple teams and help set reliability targets at the system and subsystem level. You will oversee the design validation test campaigns throughout different stages of vehicle development from proof of concept to the launch. You will be defining test plans, quantities and test profiles in collaboration with subject matter experts based on the physics of failure, complexity of systems, and technology readiness levels. You will be identifying failure modes and design test methods to exercise them. This role is expected to support an entire vehicle. We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future.

What you'll do… * Define reliability targets for different systems and subsystems by cascading top level requirements based on system complexity and architecture maturity * Develop design validation test campaign for different systems in a vehicle at different stages of development from concept to launch * Specify test resources and design accelerated test profiles for different systems and subsystems. * Lead the efforts to analyze the root causes of failures and interpret the results of SEM, XRD, optical microscopy, and other tools commonly used in forensic engineering * Work in a cross-functional environment with individuals from different teams and with different backgrounds. You will be presented with problems from very diverse disciplines of engineering (mechanical, electrical, chemical, and more). You will have the opportunity to both lead and learn * Use connected vehicle platforms to inform hardware design by generating duty cycles that are based on real-life usage data * Conduct DFMEA studies for different systems What you'll do… * Define reliability targets for different systems and subsystems by cascading top level requirements based on system complexity and architecture maturity * Develop design validation test campaign for different systems in a vehicle at different stages of development from concept to launch * Specify test resources and design accelerated test profiles for different systems and subsystems. * Lead the efforts to analyze the root causes of failures and interpret the results of SEM, XRD, optical microscopy, and other tools commonly used in forensic engineering * Work in a cross-functional environment with individuals from different teams and with different backgrounds.
