Note, this is a hybrid position whereby the employee will work both from home and from the aforementioned worksite. Hence, the employee must live within a reasonable commuting distance from the aforementioned worksite. Design and develop embedded C++ software for Ford's next-generation ADAS systems, including software which supports automated parking, hands-free driving, trailering features and other autonomy level 1-3 technology.

Collaborate with Ford's internal research teams to bring ideas from proof-of-concept into production.

Apply sophisticated software engineering techniques to optimize C++ code to minimize use of system resources. Leverage object-oriented design techniques, the C++ Standard Template Library, design patterns, and other higher-level features of C++ to create robust and reliable embedded software. Support real-world testing of cutting-edge ADAS features by flashing and debugging code in preproduction and prototype vehicles. Create software where the movement of data underlies everything: between threads, between processes, between processors, between ECUs, and even between the vehicle and the cloud.

Apply knowledge of communication techniques and protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, SPI, and SOA to ensure robust and reliable communications.
