## Description

Ford’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company’s vision of a fully electric transportation future.

The Staff HV System Validation Engineer will Develop and document HV system requirements from a feature level down to functional and component level for implementation in Ford’s Universal EV (UEV) platform.

## Responsibilities

### HV System Requirement

- Develop, document, and execute HV system requirements from a feature level down to functional and component level

- Contribute to Ford’s future HV architecture and features by developing and/or reviewing HV system requirements

- Apply engineering best practices and available standards to define required HV system requirement including but not limited to HV voltage ripple, isolation, safety interlocks, and protection strategies

- Stay up to date with the latest advancements in HV system engineering standards globally

- Work closely with LV system integration team to develop required HV system and LV system interoperability requirements

### HV System Validation

- Develop and execute HV system test plans to validate HV system performance, safety, and functional behaviors

- Develop and execute proper system characterization tests to decompose HV system requirements into HV component requirements

- Perform critical design review for HV subsystem in electrical system architecture to confirm their compliance to HV system requirements

- Collaborate with cross functional teams including SW, mechanical packaging, vehicle integration, and EPA range to characterize system behaviors and optimize performance

- Work closely with vehicle integration team on root causing vehicle integration issues that impact vehicle performance

- Troubleshoot system failures using proper engineering tools and system testing

- Develop and execute diagnostic procedures for effective Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of HV system issues

- Use CAN tools (Vector CANalyzer, CANape) to evaluate system functionality / performance and troubleshoot issues

- Work with internal and external HW design team and support design, build, and validation of HV system and subsystems

- Perform HV system hands on testing on bench or in vehicle

- Use analytical and experimental methods to ensure HV system design meets safety and regulatory standards

- Help resolve technical issues associated with integration of new HV components into HV system

## Qualifications

- B.S in Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

- 10+ years of experience in HV system requirement and validation

- 8+ years of experience working with HV system engineering standards such as ISO, IEC, NEMA, GBT, etc.

- Deep technical knowledge of HV system architecture and HV components

- Extensive knowledge and experience with HV powertrain system development including HV batteries, traction inverters and electric motors

- In depth knowledge of various electric motor technologies such as IM, PMSM, SRM, etc.

- Hands on experience with testing and validation of HV systems and subsystems

- Extensive hands-on experience in performing HV system issues root cause analysis

- Strong theoretical and experimental knowledge on HV power modules used in traction inverters

- Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and ability to apply them to automotive concepts

- Strong written and verbal communication skills

- An eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic environment where you are part of a high performing team
