Brake Controls Software Design Engineer

Where Safety Meets Next-Gen Software. Help Us Redefine Vehicle Dynamics for the Electric Era.

We made history, and now we are transforming the future. At Ford, braking is no longer just about stopping a vehicle—it is the foundation of regenerative braking for our cutting‑edge EVs, the backbone of active safety for our advanced Driver Assist Technologies (like Blue Cruise), and a critical node in our Software‑Defined Vehicle architecture.

As a Brake Controls Software Application Design Engineer, you won’t just write or manage code; you will be the architect bridging the gap between sophisticated software algorithms and physical vehicle dynamics. You will see the direct impact of your work on the road every single day, keeping millions of drivers safe while delivering an exhilarating driving experience.

• High Visibility, High Impact: This is a pivotal role on a quality‑driven team where your decisions directly influence vehicle launches, over‑the‑air (OTA) software updates, and advanced vehicle safety.
• A Culture of Growth: Work under supportive leadership that prioritizes your career trajectory, encourages technical curiosity, and gives you the autonomy to solve complex engineering challenges.
• At the Center of Innovation: You will collaborate across disciplines, working with prototype vehicles, Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HiL) simulators, and global suppliers to bring new technologies from concept to production.
