Job summary

Ford Motor Company’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team invites a Staff HV System Design and Simulation Engineer to advance HV architecture for the Universal EV platform. You will model HV/LV interoperability, evaluate EMC, isolation and fault scenarios, and work with cross-functional teams to optimize safety and performance.

You’ll develop control algorithms in MATLAB-SIMULINK, run system simulations with PSIM/PLECS, lead design reviews, and help specify components such as HV

Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering required.
• 10+ years of HV powertrain system modeling with advanced simulation tools.
• 8+ years of Power Electronics HW development including schematic/layout, bring-up, testing.
• 3+ years performing WCCA analysis on HV systems using Mathcad or similar.
• Deep knowledge of power converter topologies (isolated/non-isolated).
• Extensive HV powertrain design experience with HV traction inverters and motors.
• Strong knowledge of various EV motor technologies (IM, PMSM, SRM).
• Expertise with Wide Band Gap devices and trade-offs.

Responsibilities

• Perform HV system simulation and co-simulation to characterize HV/LV interoperability.
• Characterize HV/LV interoperability via system modeling in MATLAB-SIMULINK, PSIM, PLECS.
• Develop and implement electric motor control algorithms in MATLAB-SIMULINK.
• Lead critical design reviews for HV modules to ensure compliance with requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize HV system safety and performance.
• Define and maintain HV system architecture diagrams and interfaces.
• Support HV component selection (fuses, contactors) to meet performance targets.
