You'll join an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively, staying focused on only what matters, and deliverig 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 position... Ford is seeking an experienced integration engineer who will be responsible for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sub system device and feature development. This individual would ensure HVAC hardware and firmware is designed, implemented, and tested to meet Ford's standards for safety and customer experience. Ford is developing next generation integrated thermal systems that manage customer facing features such as the cabin climate, as well as the thermal needs of powertrain systems like the battery and power electronics. The thermal integration engineer will lead activities to select and introduce new hardware, create or refine new features and functionality, optimize performance and efficiency, as well as making the system robust and fault tolerant. It is expected that this engineer would master the details of the HVAC system by reviewing source code, root causing issues, and developing solutions to complex problems hands on in the lab or by performing in vehicle testing.
