Power Net Architecture Modeling Engineer designing simulation environments and modeling vehicle electrical systems at Ford. Join the team driving automotive innovation in Dearborn, MI.
Responsibilities
Develop Power Net simulation environment: Develop a simulation environment for power supply architectures on 12V and 48V including power supply components and required vehicle interfaces in an automotive development process.
Component modeling: Integrate component models of power sources and energy storage into the electrical system model. This supplier specific models need to represent electrical, thermal and aging behavior.
System model verification: Coordinate a structured verification process for the power supply model on component and system test bench level. Iterate hardware test results into the model environment to optimize results.
Power Net verification by CAE: Verify power net architectures with respect to sizing, electrical functionality, and power supply safety concepts in this CAE environment.
Interface: Interface with power supply controls organization to ensure a smooth integration of 12V and 48V power net controls into the simulation environment.
Support the component engineers and their suppliers in developing and verifying powerful component models.
Support the integration of the power net model into a vehicle simulation environment.
