Low Voltage Power Supply Architecture Simulation Engineer

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...

At Ford, we are driving the future of automotive innovation, and our Low Voltage Power Net Architecture team is at the forefront of this transformation. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Engineer with an automotive CAE background to join our dynamic team.

The Opportunity:

In this critical role, you will be a key contributor to the development and release of advanced power supply architectures across all Ford vehicle platforms. Your primary focus will be on creating, enhancing, and utilizing sophisticated simulation environments for these complex electrical systems. You will bridge the gap between theoretical design and real-world performance, ensuring the integrity, efficiency, and safety of our low voltage power supply architectures before they ever reach physical prototypes.

This position offers the chance to apply cutting-edge CAE techniques to drive innovation in automotive power management.

Low Voltage Power Net CAE Engineer

What you'll do...

* Develop Power Supply simulation environment:
Develop a simulation environment for power supply architectures on 12V and 48V including power supply components and required vehicle interfaces in an automotive development process.
