At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realise your dreams. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow's transportation.

The ADAS Virtual Verification and Validation group develops and applies state-of-the-art tools and methods to validate ADAS features, including Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) simulators that are interactive high-fidelity systems that integrate a human driver with vehicle simulation models and systems in real-time immersive virtual environment. These simulators aid improvements in driver interactions and experience; helping to deliver ADAS features with quality and robustness to improve customer satisfaction.

Our engineers support the latest ADAS features such as Blue Cruise (BC), System Initiated Lane Change (SILC) and Lane Keeping Aid (LKA).

Responsibilities

Lead Driver-In-Loop (DiL) Simulator development and testing to support the development and sign-off of ADAS features

Contribute to development of simulation platform to support cross-tool SiL, DiL, HiL virtual validation methods

Develop new DiL solutions for feature development and validation, combining simulation with traditional vehicle testing methods on vehicle simulators

Closely coordinate with feature development engineers to support execution of design verification plans to ensure proper feature-level performance.

Conduct customer-level algorithm and calibration clinic studies to satisfy vehicle-level performance requirements

Create virtual roads and scenarios for robust testing of ADAS features (Regulatory, Functional, Performance, Real World).

Develop and integrate camera, radar, and ultrasonic sensor stimulation and simulation tools to support testing of new and existing ADAS features.

Collaborate cross-functionally with technical specialists, product owners, developers, simulation, HIL, and vehicle test teams to establish tools and test procedures that improve efficiency of and enable new test cases for vehicle level testing.

Develop Python tools for data collection and analysis

Grow and demonstrate technical leadership amongst a team of highly energized and collaborative peers in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field or a combination of education and equivalent experience

2-5 years of experience developing/testing features in related vehicle systems (vehicle dynamics, body, electrical, chassis, powertrain)

2-5 years of experience with at least one scripting or programming language (e.g., C, C++, Python, JavaScript, etc.)
