Irvine, United States Ford Motor Company Full time

Ford 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. Join a team of knowledgeable and passionate engineers striving to build robust and safety-rated embedded systems to solve the most relevant problems in vehicle electrification. Being on the Ford EVDD team means building the future as Ford's center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.

Thermal systems span a diverse range of critical customer-facing attributes, hardware, and software domains. For example, our work keeps occupants comfortable, enables full vehicle powertrain capability, and empowers battery fast charging - in all weather conditions. We strive to balance heating/cooling performance, energy consumption, cost, reliability, NVH, and packaging trade-offs through physics-driven, cross-functional engineering collaboration. We work closely with mechanical engineers, aerodynamicists, battery and powertrain experts, electrical engineers, embedded/controls engineers, and more through all phases of vehicle development. Your role: bridge the gap between what's possible (models/simulation) and reality by building a world-class controls framework to deliver an exceptional customer experience in all situations that may arise. Your mastery of controls will balance many critical customer-facing performance attributes, e.g., vehicle range or efficiency, occupant comfort/climate control, NVH, and more.

* Create control/estimation algorithms to support a broad thermal management scope: climate control, battery, powertrain, heat pump/refrigeration system, car computers, and more.
* Deliver high-quality C code in a real-time embedded environment.
* Write unit, SIL, and HIL test cases to ensure proper functionality.
* Work closely with test and integration engineers to debug your control algorithms at the bench and vehicle level.
* Adapt or create reduced-order thermal systems models to suit control-focused development/refinement workflows.
* Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineers to execute control strategies.
* Develop fault detections and reaction strategies for seamless customer experience.
* Develop and continuously improve models to compare alternative control algorithms quantitatively across many key metrics (cost, efficiency, performance, complexity, etc.)
* Monitor fleet telemetry and use data analysis to close the loop on software quality and help ideate new software features.
