About the role

  • Power Net Architecture Modeling Engineer designing simulation environments and modeling vehicle electrical systems at Ford. Join the team driving automotive innovation in Dearborn, MI.

Responsibilities

  • Develop Power Net simulation environment: Develop a simulation environment for power supply architectures on 12V and 48V including power supply components and required vehicle interfaces in an automotive development process.
  • Component modeling: Integrate component models of power sources and energy storage into the electrical system model. This supplier specific models need to represent electrical, thermal and aging behavior.
  • System model verification: Coordinate a structured verification process for the power supply model on component and system test bench level. Iterate hardware test results into the model environment to optimize results.
  • Power Net verification by CAE: Verify power net architectures with respect to sizing, electrical functionality, and power supply safety concepts in this CAE environment.
  • Interface: Interface with power supply controls organization to ensure a smooth integration of 12V and 48V power net controls into the simulation environment.
  • Support the component engineers and their suppliers in developing and verifying powerful component models.
  • Support the integration of the power net model into a vehicle simulation environment.

Requirements
