• Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts for upwards of 140 vehicle features, ensuringcompliance with Ford's quality standards.
• Conduct functional, regression, and performance testing to identify defects and ensure the reliability anddurability of Ford trucks including F-150 and Superduty.
• Utilize tracking tools and frameworks, such as JIRA, to streamline vehicle testing processes, improveefficiency, and enhance test coverage for both hardware and software components.
• Conduct testing milestone efficiency review, compile data from historical test data to identify processinefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement.
• Work closely with design teams to perform root cause analysis of identified issues.
• Conduct vehicle-level testing, including on-road and off-road testing, to validate system performance,reliability, and overall vehicle quality.

As an FCG I rotated through 4 positions within Ford over the course of 2.5 years. My first rotation was as a Design and Release Engineer on the 2015&2017 Ford Mustang. My second rotation was as an Electrical Systems Integration Engineer for the 2017 Ford Escape. I did development work for Hybrid Powertrain Systems Controls, and finished up the program with.

Louisville, Kentucky Area

Electrical Systems applications and support for the 2018 Ford Escape. Worked with production and manufacturing engineers to make sure the launch process went smoothly and delivered an exciting and desirable product to the customer.

Wake Forest, NC

I designed and supported systems-level documentation for various military-grade SONAR assemblies.
