Livonia-based Roush recently opened its first Oakland County-based technical center in Troy. The new center will provide engineering design and development services for autonomous vehicles, hybrid and electric vehicles, electric propulsion and battery systems, advanced software development and data analytics.
“Roush is committed to expanding our engineering and analytical services both geographically and technologically,” Evan Lyall, CEO of Roush Enterprises, said in a press release. “We’re well known for the breadth and depth of our automotive product development capabilities, and our new Troy Technical Center allows us to further support the transportation, military and mobility industries.”
The state-of-the-art development center is 44,000-square-foot and will create nearly 150 new jobs, including 20 positions that are filled.
“The new Troy location taps into the job market for professionals who live in the northern-most counties in Southeast Michigan,” Gary Rogers, vice president of advanced engineering, said in the news release. He will oversee the Troy center. “We want to find the best talent to fill our high-level positions, such as powertrain and vehicle system engineers, software developers, technicians and data scientists, and we want to keep jobs in Detroit,” Rogers said.
The new facility will service automotive original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers in the area, including existing customers: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, General Motors and the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center.

These snowflakes who have been rioting all of this time are going to feel awfully stupid after a few years of this.
Opening a R&D shop smack in the middle of gearhead country!
I know Troy, MI like the back of my hand.
Roush couldn’t have picked a better spot.
“Too much speed, and almost enough horsepower!”.
They make add on supercharger kits for Fords, so I tried pitching my timing controller to them. It’s an add-on for earlier Ford ECU’s that don’t have a knock sensor.
I called them up and explained it to the guy that answered the phone.
The guy took my number and said he would pass it on to someone.
Before hanging up, I asked him to read back my phone number, to make sure it was correct.
He said the first three digits, then couldn’t remember the rest.
What a douche, he was blowing me off all along.
They rely on the factory engineers. GM included knock sensors in their fuel injection/ignition systems. Ford, not so much.
This goes back to the GM HEI ignition 5 pin modules with knock detect.
Back off of the timing advance on your engine before it hammers itself apart.
But yeah, I see what you mean.,
The main selling point is individual cylinder knock retard.
J&S Vampire is the one for Ford ECU.
