Remote Motorsports Engineering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Ford is advancing some of the most ambitious work in mobility, performance, and next-generation automotive innovation.

• Bring creative sourcing ideas, market insights, and talent availability data to recruiting partners and business leaders
• Conduct market mapping, competitor research, and talent intelligence across niche automotive and technical markets

Recruiter & Stakeholder Partnership

• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring teams to understand role requirements and priority profiles
