Adas Systems Engineer

Ford Ford · Auto · Dearborn, MI +1 · Research and Advance Engineering

The ADAS Systems Engineer role at Ford focuses on leading the development of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. This involves defining requirements, system design, failure mode avoidance, and ensuring integration with hardware, software, and testing teams. The role requires experience with system engineering processes, functional safety (ISO-26262), software development tools like Matlab Simulink, debugging embedded systems, and analyzing vehicle data. The position is hybrid and requires domestic travel.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the development of feature engineering deliverables including Concept, Logical and Technology requirements, Boundary diagrams, design analysis, Failure Mode Avoidance, robustness fields and test procedures.
  2. Work with Hardware, Software and Test teams to ensure Feature requirements are cascaded, aligned, and accepted.
  3. Develop and refine vehicle level uses cases, interfaces and feature level specification to ensure production feature delivery.
  4. Work with Functional Safety engineers to develop and refine feature functional safety requirements, item definition, hazard analysis/risk assessment and functional safety concept incompliance with ISO-26262/Ford Functional Safety process.
  5. Use data analysis techniques and methods from data generated by track, lab and model-based validation method to ensure feature achieves a desired set of requirements.
