Description
We're looking for a highly skilled Sr. High Voltage (HV) System Validation Engineer to join our team. As a Sr. HV System Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and documenting HV system requirements from a feature level down to functional and component level for implementation in Ford's Universal EV (UEV) platform. You will also be responsible for ensuring HV system's reliable performance and working side by side with various cross-functional teams to support HV system design, vehicle behavior definition, prototype bring-up, and validation of HV system with a system level focus.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing, documenting, and executing HV system requirements from a feature level down to functional and component level
- Contributing to Ford's future HV architecture and features by developing and/or reviewing HV system requirements
- Applying 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
- Staying up to date with the latest advancements in HV system engineering standards globally
- Working closely with LV system integration team to develop required HV system and LV system interoperability requirements
- Developing and executing HV system test plans to validate HV system performance, safety, and functional behaviors
- Developing and executing proper system characterization tests to decompose HV system requirements into HV component requirements
- Collaborating with cross functional teams including SW, mechanical packaging, vehicle integration, and EPA range to characterize system behaviors and optimize performance
- Troubleshooting system failures using proper engineering tools and system testing
- Developing and executing diagnostic procedures for effective Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of HV system issues
- Using CAN tools (Vector CANalyzer, CANape) to evaluate system functionality / performance and troubleshoot issues
- Performing HV system hands on testing on a bench or in a vehicle
- Using analytical and experimental methods to ensure HV system design meets safety and regulatory standards
- Helping resolve technical issues associated with integration of new HV components into HV system
If you have a strong background in HV system engineering and are looking for a challenging role that will allow you to grow and develop your skills, then we want to hear from you!
