We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves and build a better world -- together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves? Join our Electric Vehicle Digital Design (EVDD) team for a 6-month Student Worker Program and help build the future of mobility! Immerse yourself in Ford's center of innovation and growth, working alongside top engineering, design, and software talent to create groundbreaking EVs and contribute to key technologies like batteries, charging, and recycling. This is your chance to gain hands-on experience and make a real impact on the automotive industry Our team develops firmware and controls for a diverse array, from vehicle thermal management to body control systems. As part of the embedded software team, you will be responsible for the user-facing critical features like power management of the ECU and ensure that the low-level actuators are controlled adequately to meet vehicle attributes and performance targets. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams from electrical architecture, system integration, and other platform software engineers for firmware development through all stages of the program development. Junior Embedded Software Engineer * Develop firmware running on distributed embedded systems with multiple microcontrollers. * Troubleshoot and debug software issues to ensure smooth functioning of thermal and HVAC systems * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of software with other vehicle systems. * Design and specify interfaces between application software and firmware. * Controls software and algorithm development * Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation. * Develop firmware running on distributed embedded systems with multiple microcontrollers. * Troubleshoot and debug software issues to ensure smooth functioning of thermal and HVAC systems * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of software with other vehicle systems. * Design and specify interfaces between application software and firmware. * Controls software and algorithm development * Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation.
