48V Power Controls Engineer
About The Position
Ford’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company’s vision of a fully electric transportation future. EVDD is customer-obsessed, entrepreneurial, and data-driven and is dedicated to delivering industry-leading customer experience for electric vehicle buyers and owners. You’ll join an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively, staying focused on only what matters, and delivering excellence day in and day out. Join us to make positive change by helping build a better world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. In this role, you will own key aspects of the 48V powernet control system for advanced vehicle electrical architectures, including Powernet 1, 1+, and future platforms. You will be responsible for developing system-level control requirements and test cases that ensure robust low-voltage power supply performance across normal, edge, and corner-case user scenarios. You will work closely with software development, power supply hardware, electrical architecture, diagnostics, functional safety, and validation teams to ensure system coherence from concept through release. The role requires strong systems thinking, hands-on issue investigation, and the ability to analyze interactions between power generation, energy storage, load behavior, voltage and current stability, and charge margin. The ideal candidate will bring experience in automotive system, hardware, or software engineering, with a strong understanding of ICE and xEV low-voltage power supply architectures. This position also requires comfort working in an Agile environment, including Jira, PI and sprint planning, dependency management, risk tracking, and continuous improvement practices.
