Job description


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...
This pivotal role requires a dynamic individual with a proven track record in delivering complete powertrain systems from concept to production. This individual should have a strong knowledge of research processes, understand how technology can be fast tracked into production, and understand the fundamentals to deliver a high-quality design from concept to production.

  • This requires a team player that can lead others to solve tough issues, leverage core resources, and resolve technical issues with limited oversight.
  • This person needs to be positioned to immediately pull in significant technical expertise to solve issues and keep the program on track.
  • Technical oversight of this program will include a strong understanding of program management and project deliverables that align with Ford GPDS deliverables.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects from conception to completion, meeting tight deadlines and budgetary constraints.
  • Significant experience working directly with manufacturing facilities, including successful resolution of complex production and quality issues in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills to inspire and motivate team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performing work environment.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey tough technical issues to non-technical stakeholders effectively.
