Hybrid System Engineer information

What is a hybrid system engineer?

Hybrid System Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and maintain systems that combine multiple types of technologies, such as mechanical, electrical, and software components. They often work with hybrid systems like electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, or industrial automation setups, ensuring that all components work together seamlessly. Their role typically involves system integration, troubleshooting, and optimizing performance to achieve reliability and efficiency. Hybrid System Engineers need a strong understanding of interdisciplinary engineering principles and are often involved in both the conceptual and practical aspects of system development.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a hybrid system engineer?

To thrive as a Hybrid System Engineer, you need a solid background in systems engineering, control theory, and embedded systems, often supported by a degree in electrical, mechanical, or computer engineering. Experience with simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, model-based design, and familiarity with hybrid and cyber-physical systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams set top performers apart. These skills are crucial for designing, optimizing, and integrating complex systems that combine hardware and software, ensuring reliability and innovation in hybrid technology environments.

How does a hybrid system engineer collaborate with software and hardware teams?

Hybrid System Engineers often serve as a bridge between software and hardware teams, ensuring that both components of a system integrate seamlessly. They participate in joint planning sessions, clarify technical requirements, and troubleshoot issues that arise at the intersection of hardware and software. Regular communication and documentation are key, as they must translate system-level goals into actionable tasks for both teams. This collaborative approach not only ensures system performance and reliability but also fosters a culture of innovation in multidisciplinary projects.

What is the difference between Hybrid System Engineer vs Embedded Systems Engineer?

AspectHybrid System EngineerEmbedded Systems Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications in systems integrationBachelor's in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Work EnvironmentDesigning and integrating hybrid systems in automotive, aerospace, or industrial sectorsDeveloping embedded software/hardware for devices like IoT, medical devices, or consumer electronics
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, automotive, aerospace, industrial firms

The Hybrid System Engineer focuses on designing and integrating systems that combine multiple technologies, such as electrical and mechanical components, often in automotive or industrial contexts. In contrast, Embedded Systems Engineers develop specialized software and hardware for dedicated devices. While both roles require engineering backgrounds and technical certifications, their work environments and industry applications differ significantly.

Job description

In this position... 
Ford Motor Company's Under Body Systems Engineering (UnSE) team within Product Development is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Automotive Driveline / Propulsion System Engineer to join our innovative engineering team. This critical role involves the development, integration, and validation of driveline systems for traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, manual transmission applications, and next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of system-level engineering, transmission and driveline technologies, electric motor systems, gearboxes, system safety, and overall vehicle performance.


This position provides the opportunity to work in a global, fast-paced, collaborative environment with exposure to several cross-functional areas including ICE powertrain systems, manual transmissions, Electric Vehicle systems, NVH, Vehicle Operations, Tier 1/2 Suppliers, Manufacturing, and Program Management.
 

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred)
  • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in automotive system engineering with a focus on powertrain, driveline, transmission, propulsion, or vehicle systems
  •  Experience with driveline systems supporting Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), manual transmission, hybrid, and/or Electric Vehicle (EV) applications
  • Proven experience with Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains, including PDUs, SDUs, eBeams, high-voltage battery interfaces, and thermal management strategies
  • Strong knowledge of driveline mechanics, including transmissions, gears, differentials, clutches, axle assemblies, and electric drive systems
  • Experience working directly with automotive suppliers and managing technical deliverables throughout the product development process
  • Familiarity with control systems and calibration for driveline and powertrain applications
  • 2+ years of experience in vehicle electrification or a related automotive engineering domain
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to build relationships across all functions and organizational levels
     

What you'll do...

  • Integrate new driveline systems and driveline features into existing and future ICE, hybrid, and electric vehicle architectures
  • Lead the development, integration, validation, and launch support of driveline systems, including manual transmissions, conventional driveline components, and electric drive units
  • Provide technical driveline system support throughout all phases of vehicle development to ensure robust program execution and performance
  • Work with program teams to understand the required functional and physical properties of driveline systems and subsystems
  • Ensure linkage to System DFMEA and Manufacturing PFMEA activities
  • Collaborate with suppliers, Vehicle Engineering, Controls, Manufacturing, and Program Teams to deliver system and subsystem interfaces
  • Serve as the primary technical interface with suppliers to manage engineering deliverables, issue resolution, timing, validation testing, and launch readiness
  • Lead supplier technical reviews and support component sourcing, design reviews, validation, and production readiness activities
  • Identify, track, and resolve engineering issues related to driveline system performance, durability, quality, manufacturability, and customer satisfaction
  • Manage commodity controls/software engineering signoff activities as required
  • Support component, subsystem, and vehicle-level testing, including bench, dyno, and vehicle validation
  • Support program launches and production issue resolution
