Ford Systems Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles.

Come build what matters. Racing is where our story began. In 1901, Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself, "Sweepstakes," and beat America's most famous driver.

He wasn't a racer, but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory.

That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. We're the engineers, strategists, and competitors who bring Ford's track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track, every stage, every proving ground that's where we prove ourselves.

The result: one of the world's most iconic brands, legendary nameplates, and a team unmatched in the industry. Our mantra: Race to win, engineer to lead. If you're a competitor, innovator, or performance obsessive, Ford Racing is where you belong.

Help us write the next chapter. In this position... Passion for performance, Ford Racing - Road Car Team At Ford, we're committed to engineering the best performance vehicles possible

That commitment dates back to 1901 when Henry Ford and a small team of engineers developed a race car called "Sweepstakes". It featured innovations such as mechanical fuel injection and insulated spark plugs - those breakthroughs helped Henry win the one and only race in which he ever competed. He used the notoriety - and winnings - of that win to start Ford Motor Company eventually.

That passion and ingenuity has powered wins from Daytona to Le Mans and from Indianapolis to Baja. Our success on the track has fueled the development of our cars on the road. Today, drivers can savor the performance of the Edge ST, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, Mustang GT350, Raptor and, of course, the legendary Ford GT.

VISION: Create the world's leading performance portfolio...accessible to all. MISSION: Fuel innovation and passion for Ford, on and off the road. What you'll do..
