This role ensures that mechatronic subsystems (e.g., actuators, sensors, motors, control units, and closed-loop control systems) meet functional, performance, safety, and durability requirements prior to release, and serves as the technical authority accountable for sign-off decisions at key program milestones. ## Responsibilities ### Mechatronic Systems Integration & Testing - Develop, execute, and maintain test plans and validation strategies covering the mechanical, electrical, and control/software interactions of mechatronic systems (e.g., electric power steering, e-actuators, motors/gear systems, sensor-actuator control loops, closed-loop feedback systems) - Conduct bench, rig, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), and full-vehicle testing to verify system-level requirements across mechanical tolerances, electrical performance, and control logic behavior - Evaluate system-level interactions between mechanical components, sensors/actuators, embedded control units, and software algorithms to identify integration risks - Analyze test data (mechanical, electrical, and control system telemetry) to diagnose faults, and lead root-cause investigations with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams ### Sign-Off & Release Management - Own and drive formal system-level sign-off for mechatronic subsystems at program gateways (e.g., DV, PV), integrating mechanical, electrical, and controls evidence into a unified sign-off package Prepare DVP&R documentation, test evidence, and risk assessments; present sign-off recommendations to cross-functional review boards and program leadership - Track and resolve open issues, non-conformance, and engineering waivers spanning mechanical, electrical, and software domains prior to sign-off - Maintain requirements traceability across mechanical specifications, electrical/electronic interfaces, and control software requirements ### Cross-Functional Collaboration - Act as the technical integration point between mechanical design, electrical/electronic engineering, controls/software, and quality teams - Collaborate with suppliers on mechatronic component and system-level validation, ensuring compliance with OEM specifications Support DFMEA/PFMEA reviews across mechanical failure modes, electrical faults, and control system malfunctions - Communicate sign-off status, technical risks, and mitigation plans clearly to engineering management and program stakeholders Process, Standards & Documentation - Ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262 Functional Safety, IATF 16949, ASPICE, SAE) for mechatronic systems - Maintain audit-ready documentation of test results, calibration data, and sign-off approvals - Contribute to continuous improvement of test rigs, HIL environments, and sign-off methodologies for mechatronic applications ## Qualifications ### Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Automotive Engineering - 3+ years of experience in mechatronic systems engineering, application engineering, or systems validation within automotive - Solid understanding of mechanical design principles (tolerances, kinematics, materials) combined with electrical/electronic circuits and embedded control systems Hands-on experience with test tools/environments (HIL, dSPACE, CANoe/CANalyzer, LabVIEW, or equivalent) - Familiarity with requirements management tools like Jama and control system modeling (MATLAB/Simulink) - Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills across multi-domain systems - Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross-disciplinary technical reporting English proficiency. ### Preferred Qualifications Experience with ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ASPICE processes for mechatronic/embedded systems Knowledge of vehicle network protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay) Experience testing closed-loop control systems, motor/actuator performance, or sensor fusion applications ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 25, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 23 days - Location: Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico - Work arrangement: Hybrid[Apply on Ford Motor’s careers site →](https://efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/71177) ## More jobs at Ford Motor ### [Bill of Material Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/cc56cb58e0980e2b8e68/) Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico ### [EDS Low Voltage Industrialization Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/a0956bf5480c60512160/) Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico ### [Electrical STA Site Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/dd1aed867ac8d6c602be/) Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico ### [Engineer - Surge Power Unit Industrialization](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/ac65402d838ef3515ffd/) Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico ### [Engineer- Transmission/Power Unit Core](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/966c2986f87901ab9c44/) Naucalpan de Juarez, MEX, Mexico ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Systems Engineer / Senior Systems Engineer (Defence Programs)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/65e6643da77be1ed840c/) Lockheed Martin · Mawson Lakes, AUS ### [Systems engineer Assen, Drenthe Assen, Drenthe IT / IT SYSTEMS IT / IT SYSTEMS Permanent](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vinci/jobs/4e933982e5b127bdd088/) VINCI · Assen, Drenthe ### [Senior Systems Engineer (Traction Power Systems)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens/jobs/3484b779ddae5ca5ae9f/) Siemens ### [Systems Engineer, Staff - SoC Interconnect / NoC Systems Architecture](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/72fc4fb509505edd8052/) Qualcomm · Bangalore, India ### [Lead Systems Engineer - Space Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/98e86723863f60c163eb/) Lockheed Martin · Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, GBR OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
