## Description

At Ford Motor Company, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Engine Performance Development (EPD) is responsible for verifying the engine attributes related to combustion, mechanical function, and durability. In this department, we use engine dynamometers to test and validate these attributes.

Our work includes optimization of engine control settings to improve fuel economy and performance, validating the engine's durability by performing cycle-based testing, and establishing advertised power and torque for regulatory agencies and marketing. This is a hands-on job that allows individuals to work directly with engine hardware.

### Responsibilities

- Design and oversight of engine testing plans required for validation of engine fuel economy, performance, and durability attributes, combustion strategy, and engine system architecture.

- Coordinate with various engineering teams to facilitate the preparation and execution of engine testing.

- Post-processing of engine test data in preparation for in-depth analysis using company-specific and industry-standard data analysis and visualization tools, including MATLAB and AVL Concerto.

- In-depth analysis of post-processed test data to identify critical trends and anomalies in engine combustion, fuel economy, performance, and emissions.

- Development and implementation of post-processing tools and methodologies to enhance data analysis efficiency and capability.

- Prepare test data for presentations to various cross-functional team members.

### Qualifications

- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or a related field of study

- 4+ years of experience in the automotive industry

- 4+ years of experience in engine design or knowledge of engine functions
