## Description

Ford's Tools & Calibration team is looking for a DAT Feature and Software Engineer to develop, integrate, and maintain automation tooling that supports automotive software delivery, interface management, and calibration validation.

In this role, you'll focus on building automated, data-driven validation tools that ensure consistency and traceability across software requirements, interfaces, signals, and calibrations. You'll work with engineering teams to replace error-prone manual validation with scripted, programmatic checks, improve release readiness, and prevent integration defects.

You'll also support requirements management, interface management, and test case management by developing tools that synchronize engineering data across systems and streamline software delivery workflows.

## Responsibilities

- Design, develop, and maintain automation tools and scripts to validate consistency and traceability across software requirements, interfaces, signals, and calibrations.

- Develop automated validation checks to replace manual reviews of engineering artifacts and identify inconsistencies early in the software development lifecycle.

- Support AUTOSAR interface management, including validation of ARXML files, interface definitions, ports, data types, and signal mappings.

- Develop and maintain tooling to validate calibration definitions, parameter accessibility, tunability, and consistency across software deliverables.

- Perform requirements management and test case management through traceability checks across engineering systems, and develop tools to automate the process.

- Support release engineering activities by validating software delivery artifacts and identifying issues that could impact integration, calibration, and verification and validation (V&V).

- Implement automated reporting, diagnostics, and error handling to improve visibility into validation results and accelerate issue resolution.

- Reduce duplicated manual effort and technical debt by standardizing validation processes and improving automation across the Tools & Calibration ecosystem.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

- 4+ years of experience in software development, engineering automation, tools development, or a related role.

- Hands-on experience developing automation scripts and tools using Python or an equivalent programming language.

- Understanding of software development lifecycle processes, requirements management, and software integration.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across diverse engineering teams.

## Benefits

- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more

- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

- Tuition assistance

- Established and active employee resource groups

- Paid time off for individual and team community service

- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day

- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
