ADAS Exterior Perception Systems Engineer
About The Position
We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves? In this position... Ford's ADAS team designs and develops platforms and systems that provide best-in-class behavior for features like BlueCruise, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Cross Traffic Alert, Active Park Assist, and 360 Camera Systems. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Systems Engineer to join our team and play a key role in designing, defining requirements, and creating analysis and testing methodologies for our interior perception systems. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the safety, convenience, and robustness of future Ford vehicles. ADAS Exterior Perception Systems Engineer
Responsibilities
- Partner with vendors and our hardware team to refine sensor packaging requirements.
- Design a validation strategy to quantify system robustness against interacting noise factors for both platform and application sign-off
- Collaborate with feature systems engineers to define design objectives, functional requirements, and architectural decisions for driver engagement systems.
- Develop and apply systematic statistical methods to translate feature-level requirements into specific system performance expectations.
- Define and develop performance requirements and associated metrics for perception systems, including establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for availability, accuracy, and false positive rates.
- Evaluate a variety of perception data pipelines including those related to radar and vision based sensing.
- Work with vendors to measure system sensitivity to numerous factors including: vehicle characteristics (e.g., sensor packaging) and environmental conditions (e.g., ambient light, sun angle).
- Explore and propose system architecture modifications to decrease application sensitivity.
- Investigate and implement strategies to reduce sub-demographic systematic errors.
- Define real-world usage profiles to estimate system performance for a representative population in naturalistic driving conditions.
- Support root cause analysis with cross-functional team.
