Job summary

Ford Motor Company is seeking an embedded automation engineer to develop and maintain automated test solutions for ADAS software. You will validate ECU/bench targets, interface with CAN/XCP networks, and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines for rapid feedback.

You’ll collaborate with developers, systems engineering, calibration, and test teams in an Agile environment to drive robust automation and scalable lab infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks (Python and/or C++) to validate ADAS software on ECU/bench targets.
• Create and maintain test libraries and utilities that interface with embedded targets and vehicle networks (CAN, XCP, Ethernet/TCP/UDP, diagnostics).
• Implement automation to evaluate functional correctness, robustness, timing/performance, reliability, and regression behavior at component and sub-system levels.
• Develop automated workflows for bench/SIL/HIL execution, including test orchestration, stimulus/response control, data capture, and result reporting.
• Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GHA) to enable test frequently with actionable pass/fail criteria and traceability.
• Build tooling to support quality assessment across the stack: embedded software services, middleware integration, sensor/feature interfaces, and ECU-to-ECU interactions.
• Partner with manual test and integration teams to convert high-value scenarios into stable automated coverage; reduce test cycle time and increase repeatability.
• Drive root-cause analysis for failures (logs, traces, network captures) and collaborate with feature teams to resolve defects efficiently.
• Contribute to engineering excellence through code reviews, test design reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement of team frameworks and lab infrastructure.
• Influence test strategy and coverage planning for mid- to long-term quality goals (including stability, flakiness reduction, and scalability across benches)
