At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams! With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow’s transportation.

Electric Vehicle Digital Design (EVDD) is responsible for developing the key technologies and capabilities – such as EV platforms, batteries, e-motors, inverters, charging and recycling – to create ground-up breakthrough electric vehicles. By joining the best software, engineering, design and UX talent, you will be a part of creating new technologies and concepts that can be applied across the Ford enterprise. Being on the EVDD team means building the future as Ford’s center of innovation and growth through electric and connected vehicles and services.

The Senior Powertrain Thermal System Modeling Engineer will be responsible for developing an integrated powertrain thermal model to optimize Ford’s electric powertrains. You will conceptualize and own detailed parametric thermal models of powertrain subsystems used to optimize Ford’s next generation of electric powertrain architectures. You will perform drivetrain system simulation studies, interpret the results, and select optimal tradeoffs between mass, loss, and cost based on vehicle level performance metrics. This cross functional role will work closely with component design engineers to understand their requirements and constraints, and provide quantitively guidance to define thermal control strategies and cooling architectures for the next generation of efficient, cost-effective powertrain platforms at Ford.
