About the role

In this mission-critical role, you will be part of a cutting-edge team revolutionizing Power Supply Architectures for our next-generation vehicles across global platforms.
As the "reliability architect," you will ensure the robustness of the foundational electrical systems that power everything from advanced infotainment to safety-critical autonomous driving capabilities.
You won't just analyze systems; you will influence the very DNA of Ford's future vehicle platforms.

Come build what matters.
Spearhead the FMA (Failure Mode Analysis) process for 12V and 48V Power Supply Architectures, identifying potential failure modes early in the design cycle to influence architectural decisions.
Develop and maintain comprehensive Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, and Interface Matrices to visualize and document system interactions and potential error states within the Power Supply Architecture.
Facilitate and lead Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) sessions with cross-functional teams, ensuring that every potential risk in the power distribution and management system is mitigated.
This position demands a proactive systems-thinking approach, integrating expertise from electrical design, failure physics, and functional safety to deliver indestructible solutions.
