Ford Model E is responsible for developing the key technologies and capabilities – such as EV platforms, batteries, e-motors, inverters, charging and recycling – to create ground-up breakthrough electric vehicles. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality firmware for next-generation embedded products in EV domain. You will work on crucial firmware engineering problems, including real-time application development and profiling, serial driver development for a variety of specialized ICs, and the development of key abstractions allowing for deeper integration with underlying resources. Software engineers help bridge the gap between hardware engineers and controls engineers, leveraging proven profiling, test, and debugging techniques to optimize compute and memory overhead. Join a team of knowledgeable and passionate engineers striving to build robust and safety-rated embedded systems to solve the most relevant problems in vehicle electrification. Being on the Ford Model E team means building the future as Ford’s center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.
