Ford Motor Company is seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer to support advanced vehicle development, prototype builds, and pre-production test platforms. This position serves as a subject matter expert for vehicle electrical architecture, electrical schematics, and custom interface development/ PCB design, in a fast-paced, high-visibility engineering environment.

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

In this high-visibility position, the engineer will serve as a subject matter expert in vehicle electrical systems, supporting the design, integration, and validation of innovative automotive technologies. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining vehicle electrical architecture, creating and interpreting electrical schematics, and designing custom electrical interfaces and printed circuit boards (PCBs) to support prototype and testing activities. The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced environment to ensure reliable system performance and successful program execution from concept through validation.

What you'll do...

* Development and integration of custom vehicle electrical architectures across prototype and test platforms

* Define and implement vehicle communication networks (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet)

* Design and deploy custom electrical interfaces to support instrumentation requirements

* Lead analog and digital circuit design and oversee full PCB development lifecycle (design through validation)

* Contribute to prototype builds and key program milestones with hands-on engagement

* Apply signal integrity and network robustness principles to ensure reliable operation in harsh automotive environments.

* Create electrical schematic documentation and configuration management documentation.
