Chassis Control Software Integration Engineer

At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams! With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow's transportation.

Electric Vehicle Digital Design (EVDD) is responsible for developing the key technologies and capabilities - such as EV platforms, batteries, e-motors, inverters, charging and recycling - to create ground-up breakthrough electric vehicles. By joining the best software, engineering, design and UX talent, you will be a part of creating new technologies and concepts that can be applied across the Ford enterprise.

Being on the EVDD team means building the future as Ford's center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.

We are looking for embedded software professionals to join our agile, technically expert engineering team that is proudly innovative, adaptable, curious, and organized to capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities.

Why This Role Matters

At Ford, we are redefining the relationship between software and physical vehicle dynamics. As a Chassis Control Software Integration Engineer, you won't just manage suppliers or write isolated code. You will sit at the absolute intersection of advanced software architecture and raw vehicle physics.

We are looking for an engineer who applies extensive and diversified knowledge of these two domains to ensure that millions of Ford vehicles steer, stop, and handle flawlessly under all driving conditions. This is a high-stakes, safety-critical role where your work directly impacts vehicle safety, performance, and the signature driving dynamics of iconic global platforms.

We are seeking a technically credible and outcome-oriented engineer who thrives on solving complex mechatronic challenges and delivering robust, production-ready software.

Your technical credibility will not only influence our in-house software environment, you will be given the autonomy to define new best practices, architect future software platforms, and mentor the next generation of Ford control engineers.

This is a high-stakes, safety-critical role where your work directly impacts vehicle safety, performance, and the signature driving dynamics of iconic global platforms. As a Chassis Control Software Integration Engineer, we offer...

• Scale & Impact:
Write code that will run on millions of vehicles worldwide, from the F-150 Lightning to the Mustang Mach-E.
• Autonomy to Innovate:
The freedom to build your own validation tools, influence software architecture, and change how Ford builds chassis controls.
• A Clear Growth Path: A structured career trajectory from a key technical contributor to a recognized technical leader and mentor.

What You Will Do (Your Impact, Ownership & Autonomy)

* Own In-House Software:
Lead the end-to-end development of Ford's in-house chassis software. You will design requirements, develop model-based features, auto-generate production-ready C-code, and integrate it into Tier-1 software environments.

* Master System Complexity:
Work across complex, distributed vehicle architectures. You will ensure seamless communication and integration between electronic braking, steering, and active suspension systems.

* Drive Absolute Reliability:
In a safety-critical domain, quality is paramount. You will implement and enforce strict coding standards (e.g., MISRA-C), perform static code analysis, and validate software on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulators and prototype vehicles.

* Influence the Process:
You will have the autonomy to innovate. We want you to identify bottlenecks in our current pipeline and design new automated testing tools, scripting environments, and deployment workflows to scale our productivity.

* Collaborate and Resolve:
Work side-by-side with System, Feature, and Calibration Engineers to debug, root-cause, and resolve complex electromechanical issues during critical launch phases.
