You will be a highly driven engineer responsible for the core development work for ADAS sensors, leading hardware and software core development and owning requirements for these systems that control ADAS features across all vehicle programs.

## Responsibilities

- Lead core design work for ADAS components per the Global Product Development System process on various vehicle programs.

- Provide cost-efficient and quality parts on time, maintaining ownership and governance of component-specific robustness quality documentation (DFMEA, DVP&R, SCCAF, etc.).

- Lead the Sourcing Process, including investment, piece price, and tooling cost reviews, and prepare initial and final sourcing documents including ESOW, Engineering Specifications, System and Component Requirements.

- Manage and execute software technical design reviews and releases for prototype, production, and service.

- Lead and perform Failure Mode Avoidance and Functional Safety analyses to examine potential failure modes and design suitable prevention strategies.

- Conduct Technical Design Reviews, interfacing with Ford application activities and supplier engineering (software, hardware, mechanical, etc.).

- Lead in the creation and signoff of E/E information like WCCA, Device Transmittals, Specifications, and Electrical Schematics.

- Support Vehicle Operations activities to determine appropriate assembly and testing processes.

- Interface with other engineers, Vehicle Engineering, suppliers, and management to ensure compliance with required specifications and efficient critical decision-making.

- Support program-related work such as Bill of Materials (BOM), integration and packaging, parts release, requirements compliance, Engineering Signoff, 2-pagers, AIMs, FMA, Subsystem/Supplier work plans, DVP&R, and Engineering Sign-off.

- Analyze data, identify root causes of issues, and develop corrective actions to optimize processes and achieve desired outcomes.

- Support prototype builds and vehicle launch, which may require travel.

- Identify validation, durability, and functional testing required for a given program’s change scope.

- Support ongoing warranty reduction and improvements.
