Job description


At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. As we build the next generation of connected and electrified vehicles, software quality and safety are foundational. Within Ford's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) organization, we develop and deliver features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Cross Traffic Alert, Active Park Assist, and 360 Camera Systems.
This role focuses on embedded-in-the-loop automation to assess ADAS software quality from component through sub-system scope. You will design and implement automated test solutions that run against real embedded targets and bench environments (e.g., SIL/HIL, ECU benches), integrated with CI/CD to provide fast, repeatable feedback on every change.
What you'll be able to do
The individual in this role is responsible for developing and maintaining automation solutions for ADAS software, enabling continuous verification of software quality across ECU software components and integrated sub-systems. You'll work closely with developers, feature owners, systems engineering, calibration, and test teams in an Agile environment.
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)

Qualifications
Minimum requirements we seek
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

  • 3+ years of experience in software development and/or test automation using Python and/or C++

  • Experience building automated tests that interact with real systems (embedded targets, hardware benches, or networked devices)

  • Experience with HIL/SIL/bench testing and test orchestration (hardware control, flashing/deployment, data collection, test scheduling)

  • Experience with automotive communication and measurement protocols/tools: CAN, XCP, UDS, DoIP, TCP/IP, UDP

  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex failures using logs, traces, and systematic triage

  • Experience with embedded OS (QNX and/or embedded Linux) and embedded software integration concepts

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally in an Agile environment

Preferred requirements
  • Experience with CI/CD and DevOps practices: Jenkins, Git/GitHub, artifact/version management; Docker is a plus

  • Experience with automated test frameworks such as PyTest (or similar), plus test reporting and dashboarding

  • Familiarity with ADAS feature behavior and sensing technology (camera, radar, ultrasonic, LiDAR) and sub-system interactions

  • Experience integrating automation with test case management and defect tracking systems (e.g., TestRail, JIRA)

  • Ability to build stable automation in lab environments: handling intermittency, hardware dependencies, and test flakiness

  • Experience collaborating with suppliers and multi-site teams, including interface definition and acceptance criteria for deliverables
