EDS Integration Engineer at Ford Motor Company designing electrical wire harnesses for innovative EV products. Collaborating with teams to optimize integration of hardware, software, and mechanical packaging.
Responsibilities
Drive the electrical wiring system design from concept to production, focusing on the transition toward Zonal power and data distribution to minimize mass and maximize vehicle efficiency.
Architect and integrate diverse voltage platforms, leading wire sizing, fuse coordination, and terminal selection based on steady-state and transient power profiles to ensure robust power delivery.
Design for signal integrity across the vehicle’s data backbone, managing shielded circuits for ADAS sensors, Automotive Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth communication protocols.
Partner with Subsystem engineers to establish harness partitioning and complexity strategies to minimize wire count, optimize cost, and reduce weight—critical metrics for EV range.
Influence the design of grounding and network topologies while collaborating on Functional Safety (ISO 26262) assessments to ensure the EDS architecture supports safety-critical features.
Develop logical and physical electrical schematics using professional ECAD tools (e.g., Capital, Zuken), owning the technical resolution of integration issues as they arise.
Support Labcar and prototype vehicle builds as the primary lead for electrical bring-up, circuit troubleshooting, and validating system-level changes in a real-world environment.
Review 2D drawings and 3D routing to ensure supplier readiness while investigating new harness technologies (e.g., busbars or automated manufacturing) to push the boundaries of EV design.
Requirements
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in EDS design and development within the automotive, aerospace, or complex robotics industries.
5+ years of hands-on experience with professional EDS ECAD tooling (e.g., Mentor Capital, Zuken E3, or Vector Preevision).
Proven experience in a mass-production environment, taking a product from initial concept through Job 1/launch.
Deep understanding of Electrical Engineering fundamentals (Ohm’s Law, voltage drop, thermal management, and circuit protection).
Advanced EV Expertise: Experience with High Voltage (HV) DC power distribution and the challenges of integrating diverse voltage architectures.
Data Integrity: Familiarity with high-speed data requirements, including shielding, twisting, and connector selection for Automotive Ethernet or LVDS.
Prototyping Skills: Experience with vehicle instrumentation (data loggers, current clamps, oscilloscopes) in a controlled lab or test-track environment.
Agile Mindset: Familiarity with Confluence and Jira for task management in a fast-paced, iterative development cycle.
Complexity Management: Demonstrated ability to manage high-variant harness architectures and "feature-to-pin" mapping.
Analytical Rigor: Experience performing DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to ensure long-term reliability.
Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills with an eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic, high-performing team environment.
