Responsibilities Develop vehiclelevel Logical Schematics and set up Design Transmittal (DT) Structures within the Vehicle Systems Engineering Management Global Design Transmittal (VSEMGDT) system. Ensure the Generic Fusing Strategy and Generic Grounding Strategy are strictly followed across all designs. Execute compatibility reviews, assess Systems Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and ensure compliance with related system requirements in the Ford Engineering Design Environment (FEDE). Support HardwareintheLoop (HIL), Final Design Judgement (FDJ), and Design Confirmation Vehicle (DCV) Breadboard setups, including determining feature configurations and variants. Verify the Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure all necessary hardware and components are present for Breadboard builds. Update module software using InVehicle Software (IVS) or JFrog repositories and configure modules using the Ford Converter Tool (FCT) or EndofLine (EOL) simulation. Perform functional pointtopoint testing and lead Design Confirmation Vehicle (DCV) signoff for Vehicle Engineering Validation (VEV) Design Verification (DV) Breadboards. Provide module configurations and support Vehicle Software Configuration System (VSCS) development.
