The team is responsible for the full end-to-end delivery of these features into production on all Ford vehicle lines.

In this position...

You will work as a camera feature systems engineer in the ADAS System Engineering organization developing feature content like 360 Camrea, Turn Signal Views, Hitch Views, Camera on Demand, as well as connected vehicle services like Video Streaming and Security Cameras, As a systems engineer you will work on all aspects of the feature including HMI, external lighting, functional Safety failure mode avoidance ASPICE, regulatory compliance development design verification and validation. You will develop features through the system V process all the way from high level concept to technology requirements, and support development from prototypes through production implementation and launch.

What you'll do...

Lead the development of Camera feature engineering deliverables including Concept, Logical and Technology requirements, Boundary diagrams, design analysis, Failure Mode Avoidance, robustness fields and test procedures.

Work with Hardware, Software and Test teams to ensure Feature requirements are cascaded, aligned, and accepted.

Develop and refine vehicle level uses cases, interfaces and feature level specification to ensure production feature delivery.

Establish Feature objectives and ensure system operation to meet the end-user/customer objectives through a structured system level test methodology

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.

Ensure new features seamlessly integrate with existing features to provide a superb customer experience

Work with the virtual validation teams to establish CAE procedures to reduce dependence on vehicle-level testing.

Assure that the integration of affected systems meet the requirements for accurate feature-level performance

Support development of Design validation methods to ensure feature robustness across all vehicle environmental conditions and customer usage

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 requirement.

Plan and help execute real-world evaluation of ADAS features via vehicle/HIL/virtual testing and identify system problems/issues

Support and coordinate root-cause analysis with internal functions and external suppliers to ensure delivered system achieves feature requirements

Support Sign-off of feature level performance for first vehicle program implementation

Gather quality history to manage and drive feature quality and improvements (i.e. Data Analytics/VOCF/Launch Feedback/Warranty/External Metrics such as JD Powers).
