Job Description
In this position...
You will lead Body Interior Engineering for current and future Ford Racing vehicle programs. You'll be an independent, empowered supervisor who owns interior design, development, validation, and certification. You'll integrate the interior system into the total program and deliver on quality, cost, weight, function, and timing. You'll guide supplier and internal teams to bring performance-focused interior systems to life.
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 is 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.
