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.\nProduct Creation and Industrialization (PC&I) brings together Ford’s vehicle, electric, digital and design teams with our global manufacturing system. Working as one end-to-end organization, we turn ideas into high-quality vehicles, software and experiences across gas, hybrid and electric, designed around what customers need.\nIn this position...\nThe Body Controls team is a growing team dedicated to creating Body Control Modules that integrate with existing architectures as well as our next-generation vehicle systems. Join our diverse team located in Allen Park, MI; design and develop embedded software in the Body domain\n What you'll do...\n MCU and low-level bring-up: Bring up the MCU platform, including clock configuration, pin mapping, memory initialization, interrupts, and peripherals. Configure and validate Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) drivers and resolve hardware-software integration issues. \nEmbedded software development: Design, develop, and debug embedded C software for low-level and platform components, as needed. Maintain clear interfaces between drivers, middleware, and application software. \nAUTOSAR BSW and OS configuration: Configure, integrate, and validate the AUTOSAR BSW baseline and operating system. Establish task scheduling, interrupt handling, initialization sequences, and platform startup behavior.\nCAN/LIN integration: Integrate CAN DBC and LIN LDF communication descriptions into the platform configuration. Configure drivers, communication stacks, signal mapping, message routing, and middleware interfaces. \nDiagnostic description integration: Integrate .cdd and .mdx diagnostic description files into the platform software configuration workflow. Check that service definitions, identifiers, data formats, and access conditions match the implemented software. \nLow-power and sleep/wake management: Implement and validate power-state transitions, sleep-entry conditions, wake-up sources, and restoration of platform services. Verify sleep current, wake-up timing, and behavior during repeated sleep/wake cycles. Coordinate the relevant ECU and BSW state-management configuration \nApplication translation layer: Develop and maintain a translation layer that connects non-AUTOSAR C applications to ECU middleware through agreed interfaces. Handle data conversion, signal mapping, API adaptation, and error reporting while maintaining a clear AUTOSAR/non-AUTOSAR boundary. \nApplication integration: Integrate application components with platform middleware. Validate interface compatibility, initialization order, scheduling, data exchange, and end-to-end behavior. \nPerformance optimization: Measure and optimize RAM usage, CPU load, task execution time, and startup time. Review compiler, linker, and build settings while maintaining functional correctness and timing requirements. \nIntegration issue resolution: Debug issues across MCU drivers, BSW, OS, middleware, and applications, and track defects through closure\nDocumentation and release support: Maintain platform configurations, interface specifications, build instructions, and validation results. Support repeatable builds and release of validated platform software.\n You'll have...\nBS in Electrical Engineer, Computer Science, or related Field or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience\n3+ years of Embedded Software Experience \n2+ years of programming experience in C/C++ or Python \nCandidates must have strong programming skills in C/C++, and be able to write highly portable and platform-agnostic code \nExperience with low level interfaces such as I2C, SPI, ICU, PWM, GPT and CAN \n1+ year experience in developing Proof-of-Concept applications for automotive ECUs \n1+ years’ experience working in an agile environment\nEven better, you may have...\nMS in Electrical Engineer, Computer Science or related Field \nExperience in software development for automotive control units \nExperience in AUTOSAR Methodology and workflows \nHands-on experience in AUTOSAR software development/integration projects \nFamiliar with RTE configuration activities\nGood hands-on with AUTOSAR Authoring Tool \nEmbedded software development experience in Linux platform \nSoftware Simulation experience using Hardware Models \nGood, embedded debugging skills \nSelf-reliant, approachable with good communication skills \nGood knowledge of tools used for embedded program development \nKnowledge of safety-systems, ISO26262,ASIL A-D is a plus\nYou may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!\nAs an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice.
