The way a vehicle moves — how it responds to driver intent, how it manages lateral and longitudinal forces, and how naturally it connects the driver to the road — defines its character. It is the DNA of the vehicle.

We are building the next generation of centralized vehicle motion control systems: advanced embedded control software that unifies vehicle dynamics, improves integration across systems, and creates a more intuitive, confident, and engaging driving experience.

We are looking for a highly skilled Embedded Controls Software Engineer to help define, develop, and deliver these next-generation control systems. This role is ideal for an engineer with deep experience in embedded controls, safety-critical systems, vehicle dynamics, and hands-on development of math- and physics-based control strategies.

You will work at the intersection of embedded software, electrical systems, vehicle dynamics, functional safety, and systems integration — helping shape how future vehicles feel, respond, and perform.

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. Ford’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company’s vision of a fully electric transportation future. EVDD is customer-obsessed, entrepreneurial, and data-driven and is dedicated to delivering industry-leading customer experience for electric vehicle buyers and owners. You’ll join an agile team of doers pioneering our EV future by working collaboratively, staying focused on only what matters, and delivering excellence day in and day out. Join us to make positive change by helping build a better world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.
