A Propulsion Functional Safety Software Engineer

Ford’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company’s vision of a fully electric transportation future. The Propulsion Functional Safety Software Engineer will create, implement, and validate the software algorithms that ensure our products meet Ford’s implementation of ISO
26262. The controls and software include various monitors and barriers that ensure the functional safety of the electrified powertrain torque path and prevent safety goal violations. Attention to detail is key, as a functional safety software developer must deliver clean, understandable code that is traceable to requirements and test procedures.
