Verification and Validation Engineer

Location: Dearborn, MI, United States; Hybrid

We are seeking an ADAS Sensing Systems Validation Engineer to validate and continuously improve the performance of advanced driver-assistance sensing systems across Ford's full vehicle lineup. In this role, you will develop and execute rigorous design validation methods to ensure proper sensing performance at the component, system, and vehicle level—accounting for diverse environmental conditions and cross-carline variability. You will also play a key role in defining use cases, functional requirements, and performance targets for ADAS sensing systems.

Success in this role depends on strong cross-functional collaboration, partnering with Hardware/Software teams, Systems Engineering, and Suppliers to keep verification and validation (V&V) activities aligned with broader project goals. This position also requires strong systems-level thinking to develop and refine test methods that ensure consistent sensing performance across Ford's entire vehicle portfolio. In addition, you will identify opportunities to apply HIL and CAE methodologies for platform and sensor verification, and champion continuous improvement of V&V processes by integrating industry best practices and emerging technologies.
