Job Description :

We are looking for a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Propulsion and Commissioning Engineer to support Ford's propulsion development programs in Auburn Hills, Michigan. In this role, you will be responsible for setting up, commissioning, and maintaining HIL test benches that simulate real vehicle propulsion systems such as internal combustion engines, hybrid powertrains, and electric drivetrains.
