As a member of the Engine Controls software team, you will collaborate across departments—including calibration, systems engineering, and vehicle integration—to develop robust, production-ready solutions for current and next-generation boosted engine programs.

• Design and implement embedded engine controls and diagnostic monitors within the powertrain control module software
• Capture and maintain requirements for vehicle control features, document changes using Ford’s model-based design process and tools, and create and execute validation plans using simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and in-vehicle resources
• Manage configuration and complexity for a wide range of vehicle programs and power packs, and maintain high levels of compatibility and commonality with Gas, Diesel, HEV, and BEV powerpack configurations
• Develop and validate control algorithms using C-code to meet functional, emissions, performance, and functional safety requirements (ISO 26262)
• Apply powertrain control system software validation test methods—including unit testing (Unity/Ceedling), SIL, MIL, and HIL—to ensure system functionality and robustness
• Troubleshoot vehicle and powertrain fuel-path functional and diagnostic issues; determine and validate corrective actions through data analysis, vehicle testing, and simulation
• Maintain software description documentation, calibration guides, release notes, and requirements traceability for fuel-path software components

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• At least 1 year of experience writing software in
  
  C.

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• Experience writing embedded control software for vehicles or other real-time systems.
• Experience with MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow, including generating C code with Embedded Coder.
• Knowledge of how gasoline engines work, exhaust aftertreatment (three-way catalysts, particulate filters) or heat transfer.
• Experience with OBD regulations (CARB 1968.2, EPA or EU) and building diagnostic monitors.
• Experience with unit test frameworks (Ceedling/Unity or similar) and static analysis tools (Polyspace, MISRA
  
  C).
• Experience with ATI Vision, INCA or similar calibration and data-logging tools.
• Experience with Clear Case, Git or another version control system.
• Experience writing Python scripts.
