You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters. As a Senior Power Management and Systems Engineer, you will lead the systems engineering lifecycle for our next-generation vehicle power management platforms and advanced electrical architectures. In this highly collaborative role, you will act as a key technical bridge between internal engineering teams, cross-functional leaders, and external engineering partners. You will drive high-level system definitions, lead system-level use-case development and decomposition, author high-level design (HLD) documentation, and provide rigorous quality oversight for partner deliverables. This role is crucial in defining the future of our multi-platform power distribution and energy management systems, ensuring safety, reliability, and robust execution. ## Responsibilities - System Use-Case Development, Decomposition & Review: Serve as the lead engineer for high-level (L0) system use-case development, decomposition, and review across core vehicle power platforms. Coordinate the systematic decomposition of Customer/Vehicle use cases into detailed sub-system levels and interface definitions. Conduct rigorous peer reviews with sub-system leaders to ensure alignment and coverage. Prepare and present critical safety use-case walkthroughs to ensure compliance with functional safety standards. - Multi-Platform System Definition & Architecture: Provide architectural guidance and review support across multi-platform vehicle programs. Partner with senior technical leaders and third-party engineering teams on higher-platform-scope system definitions. Clarify vehicle feature content against existing system use cases to identify discrepancies or scope gaps. Proactively drive gap identification and closure tracking with Technical Specialists (TS) to prepare for Energy and Electrical Management reviews. - Engineering Partner Coordination & Quality Oversight: Serve as the primary technical liaison to external systems engineering partners. Guide partner teams on requirements decomposition and review the quality of System/Sub-System requirements to ensure they meet internal engineering standards. Proactively identify, document, and mitigate risks associated with partner delivery (e.g., scope creeping, under-delivery, or quality gaps). Manage the joint engineering review process and track the successful delivery of Program Increment (PI) commitments. - Change Control Investigations & Technical Support: Act as the lead technical investigator for change control tickets and system-level anomalies. Support deep-dive, system-level investigations to resolve complex power management integration issues. Capture investigation outcomes, technical findings, and subsequent tasks as actionable backlog items within agile project management tools. - High-Level Design (HLD) & Power Management Frameworks: Serve as the lead author for High-Level Design (HLD) documentation for advanced power distribution and power net architectures and detailed System requirements documentation, SysML, Requirement Management tools. Drive the creation and implementation of standardized Power Management templates in collaboration with feature development teams. Coordinate with cross-functional engineering leaders to ensure technical alignment across hardware, software, and systems domains. ## Qualifications - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. - 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, automotive electrical architectures, power management, or energy distribution systems. - Strong experience in requirements decomposition, use-case development, and system-level modeling. - Proven track record of managing and providing technical oversight to external engineering suppliers or third-party design partners. - Strong analytical skills with experience leading complex technical investigations and utilizing Change Control systems (e.g., Jira or similar agile tools). - Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams, lead technical reviews, and document complex architectures clearly (e.g., via Confluence/Wikis). ## 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. ## Skills ### Required - Electrical Engineering - Systems Engineering - Computer Engineering - requirements decomposition - use-case development - system-level modeling - Change Control systems ### Nice to have - functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262) - vehicle energy management - low-voltage power distribution - high-voltage battery systems - Agile product development frameworks --- Source: [Apply at efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com](https://efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/65030?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
