What is the difference between Virtual Prototype Design vs CAD Designer?

AspectVirtual Prototype DesignCAD Designer
Primary FocusCreating digital, functional prototypes of products or systemsDeveloping detailed 2D/3D technical drawings and models
Tools & SoftwareSimulation software, 3D modeling, virtual testing toolsCAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA
Work EnvironmentProduct development teams, engineering labs, virtual simulation platformsDesign offices, engineering departments, manufacturing firms
Required CredentialsEngineering background, CAD knowledge, simulation skillsDesign or engineering degree, CAD certification

Virtual Prototype Design focuses on creating digital, functional models for testing and validation, often using simulation tools. CAD Designers primarily develop detailed technical drawings and 3D models for manufacturing. While both roles require CAD skills and engineering knowledge, Virtual Prototype Design emphasizes virtual testing and simulation, whereas CAD Design centers on detailed documentation and design creation.

Job description


We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.
In this position...
As an Advanced Diesel Emissions Systems Engineer, you will lead the concept definition, design, and integration of cutting-edge emissions systems for the 6.7L Scorpion diesel engine. The primary focus will be developing hardware and software strategies to achieve the 31MY Bin75 compliance. You will serve as a technical lead, balancing cross-functional trade-offs between mechanical, electrical, and chemical domains to deliver an optimized, durable propulsion system.
Responsibilities
What you'll do...
  • System Development & Validation: Lead development testing across chassis dynamometers, engine dynamometers, and physical Super Duty test vehicles equipped with the 6.7L Scorpion diesel engine. Utilize virtual vehicle analytical simulations to front-load calibration development and demonstrate Tier 4 system capability.
  • Certification Delivery: Own the calibration deliverables required to achieve Tier 4 chassis certification for Super Duty/6.7L Scorpion applications, including preparation of test procedures, data packages, and compliance documentation for regulatory submission.
  • Attribute Trade-off Management: Conduct sensitivity studies to optimize the balance between Tier 4 emissions compliance, fuel economy, performance, and drivability specific to the 6.7L Scorpion powertrain. Establish preferred values for control variables using a data-driven approach.
  • Sub-System Coordination: Synchronize the calibration of various 6.7L Scorpion sub-systems-including the diesel engine, fuel injection system, turbocharger, EGR, and aftertreatment (DOC/DPF/SCR)-with the transmission and driveline to ensure seamless integration and achievement of Tier 4 emissions targets on chassis-certified platforms.
  • Experimental Design: Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE) methods to efficiently map complex multi-variable calibration spaces and define robust operating strategies across the Super Duty duty cycle range.
  • Prototype Commissioning: Lead the setup and commissioning of prototype Super Duty systems equipped with the 6.7L Scorpion engine in both chassis dyno and vehicle environments. Perform system-level debugging and troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues.
  • Technical Reporting: Document and present calibration progress, trade-off results, and Tier 4 regulatory compliance status to program leadership and cross-functional teams, including emissions certification and regulatory affairs groups.

Qualifications
You'll have...
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience: 3+ years of experience in powertrain calibration, with a specific focus on heavy-duty diesel emissions calibration and chassis certification; experience with the 6.7L Power Stroke/Scorpion engine platform strongly preferred.
  • Technical Tools: Proficiency with industry-standard calibration tools (e.g., ETAS INCA, or Vector CANape) and CAN communication protocols.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of EPA/CARB Tier 4 emissions regulatory requirements and chassis certification test procedures applicable to Super Duty diesel applications.
  • Diesel Aftertreatment Expertise: Design and validation experience with diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems (DOC/DPF/SCR)
  • Hands-on Aptitude: Demonstrated mechanical and electrical (wiring) skills for prototype vehicle/bench setup and hardware-in-the-loop troubleshooting on diesel powertrain systems.
  • Testing Proficiency: Experience with data acquisition (DAQ) systems and various testing environments, including chassis and engine dynamometers.
  • Data Analysis: Experience in data engineering and statistical validation, with a proven track record of analyzing large-scale datasets to identify statistically significant trends.

Even better, you may have...
  • Advanced Degree: Master's or PhD in Engineering
  • Experience: Experience in powertrain calibration, with a specific focus on the 6.7L Power Stroke/Scorpion engine platform strongly preferred.
  • Specialized Software: Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and advanced DOE optimization software (e.g., AVL ASCMO, Model-Based Calibration Toolbox).
  • Leadership: Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical reviews and mentor junior calibration engineers.

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!
As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder...or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:
• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
• Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more
