In this position...

The role of Manufacturing Software Developer – Test Station involves working on station side code to support two areas of responsibility related to hardware testing of our electronic control units. The first area is the functional testing of hardware in the devices at the factory where they are built. The second aspect is the design verification of the hardware through automated reliability testing performed by the hardware team in lab environments.

The team is composed of groups at multiple sites in Canada and the US. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with local and remote team members and other Ford groups who can share knowledge and insights and help to educate the new team member on the products we work on, the software architecture and implementation. As we support the factory from the earliest prototype builds there are opportunities to travel to the factory locations and provide direct on-site support with fellow Ford employees working with our suppliers.
