• At least 2 years of experience testing embedded software, including MIL/SIL testing.

Nice To Haves

• Understanding of feature specifications, FMEAs, robustness disciplines, and Design Verification Plans.
• Understanding of performance requirements and interactions with other features and the system, and ability to establish procedures to verify performance quantitatively and subjectively.
• Experience with control algorithms using MATLAB, Simulink, or equivalent.
• Experience working on driver assistance technologies involving radar, cameras, sensors, or similar technologies.
• Experience with data collection and analysis, ideally in driver-assist technology.
• Experience using test management tools for test strategy and test case development, test execution (manual and automated), and test metric reporting.
• Experience with defect management systems such as JIRA.
• Ability to interpret C/C++, Java code, or logs to aid issue resolution.
• Experience with automated test systems and test script development.
• Experience with MATLAB, shell scripting, Jenkins, GitHub, and Linux development.
• Experience with low-level debugging tools such as Lauterbach ICE, Wireshark, and oscilloscopes.
• Experience with automated testing environments, frameworks, and programming languages such as Gtest, CUnit, Slash, Python, or Ruby.
• Experience using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems and setting up test benches.
• Experience with debuggers and CAN tools such as CANalyzers or similar test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and integrate the embedded software platform for feature applications in Ford's next-generation ADAS systems.
• Apply modeling and coding standards, static analysis, coverage practices, and model-test-case reviews to support software quality.
• Support real-world testing of ADAS features in collaboration with partner teams.
• Support software requirement development, modeling, code generation, and testing at different levels.
• Flash, validate, and debug code in bench and HIL setups, as well as in pre-production and prototype vehicles.
• Conduct verification and validation of ADAS-related model-based software.
• Develop test procedures, plans, automated scripts, and test cases.
• Define test setups and identify the equipment, tools, licenses, hardware, and test systems needed; support test bench bring-up.
• Identify test dependencies, including specifications, interfaces, compliance, and hardware and software components.
• Identify opportunities for automation and tooling and provide support for them.
• Execute automated and manual MIL, SIL, and bench tests; analyze results, conduct root-cause analysis, and verify issues.
• Contribute to team results by taking ownership in agile scrum development sprints.
• Collaborate with technical specialists, feature owners, development teams, and other test teams on testing and development activities.
• Provide technical leadership within a collaborative team.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new-parent ramp-up programs, and subsidized backup childcare.
• Family-building benefits, including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement and fertility treatments.
