As a member of Ford's Advanced Networking Group, the Hardware Engineer will be responsible for ensuring signal integrity in in-vehicle communication networks. The Advanced Networking Group plays a crucial role in identifying and developing optimal in-vehicle communication networks for Ford's next-generation electrical architecture. This involves integrating new network technologies, enhancing the performance of existing ones, and maintaining electrical robustness for automotive applications. The group is tasked with creating network requirement specifications and design verification documents spanning from OSI model's layer 1 (hardware) to layer 2. These specifications are utilized by Product Development teams across all vehicle programs. Additionally, the group ensures the accurate implementation of in-vehicle communication networks through comprehensive design reviews, simulations, measurements, and proof of concept.
