## Description

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

Advanced Steering Systems Mechatronics Engineer is a multidisciplinary engineer to support the development and validation of steering systems in Dearborn, Michigan. This role combines systems engineering, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing, test automation, and hands-on mechanical and electrical test-system development.

## Responsibilities

- Develop and validate advanced steering systems, including electric power steering and Steer-by-Wire, from concept through production.

- Define system requirements, verification methods, test plans, and automated test cases for functional, performance, safety, and regression testing.

- Design, build, integrate, and maintain HiL benches, test fixtures, wire harnesses, circuits, and supporting lab infrastructure.

- Execute system and subsystem testing, fault insertion, troubleshooting, and failure analysis across hardware, software, controls, and vehicle interfaces.

- Develop test automation and analysis tools using applicable programming, simulation, and automotive network toolchains.

- Apply systems engineering, Functional Safety, and failure-mode-avoidance principles to requirements, design, and validation.

- Support bench commissioning, electrical and mechanical integration, supplier technical reviews, equipment procurement, and lab-capacity improvements.

- Create and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, fixture designs, bills of materials, interface definitions, test procedures, and reports.

- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and suppliers to resolve technical issues and meet program deliverables.

- Contribute technical depth in one or more disciplines while developing broader capability across mechatronics and HiL engineering.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Science or similar.

- 3+ years engineering experience in at least one of the following areas:

- Steering Systems engineering.

- Embedded-system testing or test automation.

- HiL, lab automation, or test-system integration.

- Electrical systems, harnesses, circuits, or automotive networks.

- Mechanical design, fixtures, or electromechanical integration.

## Benefits
