About The Position

Lead simulation for ADAS/AV feature development and vehicle programs validation & sign-off. Lead transition of physical vehicle testing to simulation-based virtual methods. Perform closed-loop full vehicle simulation to accelerate iterative testing of ADAS features. Integrate multiple ECU models for full vehicle SiL testing. Debug and support resolution of SWC issues to deliver ADAS features quality. Create virtual roads and scenarios for robust testing of ADAS features (corporate test procedures, Regulatory, Real World). Develop, validate and deploy simulation tooling and processes for ADAS features iterative testing and program validation. Work with the Ford Vehicle in the Loop, Hardware in the Loop, Simulator and Ford vehicle test teams to establish simulation procedures to reduce dependency on vehicle level testing.
