What you'll do...

The ADAS Campaign Prevent Engineer is responsible for the technical oversight and quality assurance of the entire ADAS ecosystem. This role requires a comprehensive understanding of how ADAS Hardware, Software, Features, and Systems interact within the vehicle architecture. Working under the guidance of a supervisor, you will drive campaign prevention awareness and conduct rigorous reviews across various design gateways to ensure robust system performance.

A core requirement of this position is frequent travel to Ford assembly plants to perform "Fresh Eyes Reviews" (FER) and Line Walks. By conducting physical, process, and system audits on the shop floor, you will bridge the gap between virtual development and physical production. This role is essential for verifying that the complex integration of hardware and software meets all quality standards during every build phase.

What you'll do...

• Integrated Fresh Eyes Reviews (FER): Lead and participate in audits for all major build phases (prototype through production). Perform Line Walks and plant process reviews to verify the correct installation and performance of ADAS Hardware, Software, Features, and Systems.
• System-Level Plant Audits: Review End-of-Line (EOL) processes and vehicle configurations. Perform frequent spot audits on the plant floor to ensure that hardware-software interfaces are functioning as intended and that prior system issues have been resolved.
• Cross-Functional Technical Support: Partner with PMT Leaders, Systems Engineers, Feature/Software Engineers, and D&R Engineers to resolve complex design and integration issues identified during reviews.
• Quality & Risk Documentation: Audit FMAs and Control Plans for all ADAS components. Ensure that failure modes related to hardware, software, and system-level interactions are addressed, and that proper linkages and reaction plans are in place.
• Issue Management: Facilitate the recording and tracking of Class 1 and Class 2 issues identified during plant reviews. Drive the development and closure of the Prevent Action Closure (PAC) process for ADAS systems.
• Continuous Improvement: Update foundation documents and GPDS templates with Global Lessons Learned, incorporating recent data from campaigns and "stop ships" to improve ADAS system robustness.
• On-Site Representation: Represent ADAS in FER Exit Meetings with the Global Campaign Prevention Specialist, Program Teams, and Plant leadership, providing technical expertise on system-level risks.
• Milestone Preparation: Prepare technical evidence and documentation required for Chief Attestations at major gateways, including FDJ, FEC, and MP1.
• Frequent Travel: Conduct frequent travel to Ford assembly plants to support build phases, audit manufacturing processes, and perform hands-on vehicle assessments.

You'll have... 

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or Control Systems.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in ADAS, with a balanced technical background across Hardware, Software, Features, and Systems.
• Technical Knowledge: Understanding of FMVSS requirements as they relate to ADAS systems.
• Tools: Experience with GPDS tools (FEDE, AIMS, Jira) and proficiency in Microsoft Office/Ford SharePoint.
• Travel Readiness: Ability and willingness to travel frequently to various Ford assembly plants for on-site reviews and audits.

Even better, you may have...

• Advanced Education: M.S. in Electrical, Controls, Computer, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.
• Quality Systems: Demonstrated knowledge of Quality Processes (FMA, Six Sigma, etc.) and their application to complex hardware-software systems.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze system-level data and identify potential failure modes in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Professional Attributes: Self-motivated with the ability to work independently, provide a clear vision for success, and adapt to a dynamic, cross-functional plant environment.
