About The Position

Ford Motor Company is hiring an ADAS Functional Safety Engineer in Dearborn, Michigan. This hybrid position requires the employee to work both from home and at the worksite and live within a reasonable commuting distance. The role leads development and integration of Functional Safety (FuSa) work products for future vehicle program applications involving Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The engineer leads FuSa systems safety development, including system safety concepts, technical safety requirements (TSRs), and verification and acceptance criteria for next-generation microcontroller and microprocessor designs. The role also supports safety-related interface specifications, FMEAs, FTAs, robustness design discipline, dependent fault analysis, sensor performance assessment, vehicle-specific hazard and safety-goal identification, feature development verification, feature-level performance sign-off, and safety-case development using ISO 26262 safety analysis methodologies.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Four years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
• Four years of functional safety experience including ISO 26262-3, -4, -5, -6, and -7 standards applied to an Autonomous EV GoKart or ADAS project.
• Two years of functional safety experience implementing ISO 26262-9 and -10 standards, completing safety analysis using both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods for an Autonomous EV GoKart or ADAS project.
• One year of experience in embedded hardware or software design.
• One year of experience developing a Functional Safety Technical Concept in Microsoft Word.
• One year of experience developing verification and validation methods for safety products in Microsoft Excel.
• One year of experience with Agile Product Development Process.
• One year of experience developing boundary diagrams in Visio.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

Responsibilities

• Lead development and integration of Functional Safety work products for future ADAS vehicle program applications.
• Lead FuSa systems safety development, including the System Safety Concept, technical safety requirements, and verification and acceptance criteria methods for next-generation microcontroller and microprocessor designs.
• Cascade technical safety requirements to hardware and software elements and maintain complete traceability from system and feature requirements to hardware and software requirements.
• Support development of interface specifications, FMEAs, FTAs, robustness discipline design, and dependent fault analysis for safety-related functions and features.
• Assess sensing-system performance requirements relative to ASIL-rated features and ensure the sensor performance envelope is appropriate for the vehicle application and its functional safety requirements.
• Support identification of vehicle-application-specific potential hazards and Safety Goals, including associated ASIL ratings for ADAS features.
• Ensure successful application of the functional safety process for ADAS features on forward-model vehicle programs.
• Coordinate with feature development engineers to support execution of functional safety design verification plans and ensure proper feature-level performance.
• Support sign-off of feature-level performance for a given vehicle with respect to functional safety.
• Support development of the safety case through ISO 26262 safety analysis methodologies.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, and prescription drug coverage.
• Flexible family care, parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, and subsidized backup childcare.
• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members, and management leases.
• Tuition assistance.
• Employee resource groups.
• Paid time off for individual and team community service.
• Paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
• Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
