Job description

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...

• In Ford Racing, you will be a CAD/surfacing engineer supporting our Motorsports Aerodynamics group, translating aero performance targets into precise, CFD-ready 3D surfaces and physical hardware. You'll work hand-in-hand with aerodynamicists to rapidly convert wind tunnel and simulation findings into geometry that can be evaluated, iterated, and validated in a fast-paced racing development cycle.
• Beyond surfacing, you'll also design mechanical components and mounting hardware, and prepare geometry for rapid prototyping of scale models used in our wind tunnel program.
• This role is focused on functional, analysis-driven surfacing — not showroom Class-A finish — so speed, accuracy, and aerodynamic intent matter more than cosmetic polish. As we build our team, we're focusing on a culture of excellence and collaboration where we work together to exceed our performance targets.
