Use your technical expertise to make driving safer, easier and better for our customers. The Advance Driver Assistance Technology (ADAS) team develops state-of-the-art software and algorithms to deliver best-in-class features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, driver monitoring, and 360 camera systems.
We are seeking a highly driven engineer responsible for the program application work for ADAS sensors. You would lead hardware and software core development and own requirements for these systems that control ADAS features across all vehicle programs.
Responsibilities
What you'll do :
- Lead Core Sensor design work for ADAS sensors per the Global Product Development System process on various vehicle programs.
- Provide cost-efficient and quality parts on time, maintaining ownership and governance of component-specific robustness quality documentation (DFMEA, DVP&R, SCCAF, etc.).
- Lead the Sourcing Process, including investment, piece price, and tooling cost reviews, and prepare initial and final sourcing documents including ESOW, Engineering Specifications, System and Component Requirements.
- Manage and execute software technical design reviews and releases for prototype, production, and service
- Lead and perform Failure Mode Avoidance and Functional Safety analyses to examine potential failure modes and design suitable prevention strategies.
- Conduct Technical Design Reviews, interfacing with Ford application activities and supplier engineering (software, hardware, mechanical, etc.).
- Lead in the creation and signoff of E / E information like WCCA, Device Transmittals, Specifications, and Electrical Schematics.
- Support Vehicle Operations activities to determine appropriate assembly and testing processes.
- Interface with other engineers, Vehicle Engineering, suppliers, and management to ensure compliance with required specifications and efficient critical decision-making.
- Support program-related work such as Bill of Materials (BOM), integration and packaging, parts release, requirements compliance, Engineering Signoff, 2-pagers, AIMs, FMA, Subsystem / Supplier work plans, DVP&R, and Engineering Sign-off.
- Analyze data, identify root causes of issues, and develop corrective actions to optimize processes and achieve desired outcomes. Strong systems engineering approach to problem-solving and design. Drive troubleshooting and development of solutions for Hardware, Software, and packaging issues found during validation and launch using problem-solving best practices (8D, Is / Is not, 3L5W, fishbones, etc.).
- Support prototype builds and vehicle launch, which may require travel.
- Identify validation, durability, and functional testing required for a given program's change scope.
- Support ongoing warranty reduction and improvements.
