Product Development Engineer

In this position, you will be part of an engineering team designing advanced electronic control units for next-generation vehicles. You will collaborate with other engineers to block-diagram, design, implement, simulate, validate, and optimize circuits in your section. You will be responsible for executing a rigorous hardware test plan in our state-of-the-art laboratories to ensure our hardware meets Ford's world-class quality standards.

Do you have what it takes to make smart vehicles for a smart world? Join the Ford Product Development team. Utilizing Design Thinking and User Experience methods, you'll work to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We're seeking forward-thinking, laser-focused professionals with a passion for bringing innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life.

You will be responsible for delivering hardware on time while maintaining cost targets. In this role, you will:

• Design high-speed digital circuits to meet section requirements.
• Design circuits using industry-standard schematic capture tools.
• Implement layouts for assigned subsections.
• Design complex high-speed signals that meet impedance requirements.
• Perform worst-case analysis of circuits in your area of responsibility.
• Generate documentation that defines processor pin assignments.
• Develop detailed design documents.
• Perform failure mode analysis and generate process documentation.
• Define stress test routines required to validate functional sections.
• Design communication links between the processor, other internal subsections, and external modules.
• Formulate test plans to ensure component-level performance.
• Validation testing to ensure performance over temperature and voltage extremes.
• Perform root cause analysis and resolve issues in assigned sections.
• Participate in system design reviews.
• Interface closely with other teams, such as Software, Mechanical, and Manufacturing, as well as external component suppliers.
• Travel occasionally as required.
