      <Title>In-Vehicle Ethernet Network Architect</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>Join Ford&#39;s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team in shaping the future of electric transportation. As an In-Vehicle Ethernet Network Architect, you&#39;ll lead the design and optimization of Ethernet-based in-vehicle networks, influencing network design decisions across vehicle platforms and collaborating across system architecture, ECU software teams, and platform engineering.</p>
<p>Our ideal candidate has deep expertise in Ethernet networking and distributed systems and is passionate about designing scalable, high-performance communication architectures. We welcome candidates with networking experience from automotive, datacenter networking, telecom, industrial networking, robotics, aerospace, defense, or IoT environments.</p>
<p>Responsibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create and implement in-vehicle communication systems, encompassing network architecture, topology, and communication protocols across all OSI layers.</li>
<li>Define network communication strategies, including protocol selection, traffic flows, bandwidth allocation, and quality of service (QoS) policies.</li>
<li>Design and optimize network communication to meet latency, throughput, determinism, and reliability requirements across distributed vehicle systems.</li>
<li>Drive performance and optimization by leveraging network analysis expertise to identify and implement optimizations in data packing and communication protocols, enhancing bus performance and efficiency.</li>
<li>Collaborate with cross-functional architectural teams to define and standardize communication (Ethernet/CAN/LIN) attributes to the overall vehicle architecture.</li>
</ul>
<p>Qualifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor&#39;s degree in computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, or a combination of education and equivalent experience.</li>
<li>Software developer first. 2+ years of work experience in software engineering, with a focus on embedded systems.</li>
<li>2+ years of experience in Ethernet distributed systems (automotive, defense, industry, IoT, IT, etc.).</li>
<li>2+ years of experience applying knowledge of network architecture, protocols, and communication standards.</li>
<li>Strong understanding of Ethernet networking fundamentals, including layer 2/layer 3 communication, switching, VLANs, and TCP/IP.</li>
<li>2+ years&#39; experience analyzing network behavior using packet capture or network analysis tools.</li>
</ul>
<p>Experience with AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive architectures, Ethernet Time-Sensitive Networks, and IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec) is a plus.</p>
