Verification and Validation Engineer

We are seeking an ADAS Sensing Systems Validation Engineer to validate and continuously improve the performance of advanced driver-assistance sensing systems across Fords full vehicle this role you will develop and execute rigorous design validation methods to ensure proper sensing performance at the component system and vehicle levelaccounting for diverse environmental conditions and cross-carline variability. You will also play a key role in defining use cases functional requirements and performance targets for ADAS sensing systems.

Success in this role depends on strong cross-functional collaboration partnering with Hardware/Software teams Systems Engineering and Suppliers to keep verification and validation (V&V) activities aligned with broader project goals. This position also requires strong systems-level thinking to develop and refine test methods that ensure consistent sensing performance across Fords entire vehicle addition you will identify opportunities to apply HIL and CAE methodologies for platform and sensor verification and champion continuous improvement of V&V processes by integrating industry best practices and emerging technologies.

• Develop refine and execute design validation methods to ensure sensing system performance at the component system and vehicle levels across diverse environmental and cross-carline noise factors.
• Support the development design and verification of use cases functional-level requirements and targets for ADAS sensing systems.
• Support upgrades and enhancements to ADAS sensing systems by collaborating with feature owners on modeling changes regression testing test vector support data review issue identification and supplier coordination.
• Develop and improve system- and subsystem-level designs interfaces and specifications to ensure consistent sensing system performance across the full range of Ford vehicle offerings.
• Ensure system design failure mode analysis functional safety and related deliverables enable seamless integration with existing features while delivering an exceptional user experience.
• Support the development of data analysis techniques and methods for sensing system data generated across various test environments (SIL/HIL/Bench/Vehicle) to meet performance specifications.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teamsincluding Software Development Program Management Systems Engineering and Suppliersto align verification and validation (V&V) activities with overall project goals.
• Identify and implement opportunities to leverage HIL and CAE methods for ADAS platform and sensor performance verification.
• Drive continuous improvement of V&V processes and methodologies by applying industry best practices and emerging technologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
