Chassis Systems Engineer - Ford Racing

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...

The Chassis Systems Engineer is responsible for integrating chassis components into a vehicle-level system to deliver Ford Racing vehicle performance targets. This role partners closely with D&R engineers, Vehicle Engineering, Vehicle Dynamics, and cross-functional teams to establish vehicle kinematic and compliance targets, maintain system health chart documentation, and support development milestones. As the single point of contact for suspension hardpoints and the vehicle ADAMS CAE model, this engineer ensures chassis-related data, models, and test outputs align with program requirements across prototype, launch, and production builds.

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..

What you'll do...

• Serve as the single point of contact for suspension hardpoints and the vehicle ADAMS CAE model
• Assess Chassis Systems health chart metrics at each milestone and work with component engineers to close gaps and meet requirements
• Coordinate durability vehicle preparation and testing, ensuring part pedigree matches the CAE model
• Lead problem-solving efforts for chassis component issues, translating test data into actionable engineering recommendations
• Support testing, prototype builds, launch builds, and ongoing production of Ford Racing vehicles at assembly plants and test facilities
• Set targets for vehicle ride height and alignment and evaluate status at vehicle builds
• Cascade travel and check load requirements to shock and spring suppliers
• Interface daily with a global team of D&R engineers, vehicle attribute teams, program management, suppliers, and manufacturing to ensure compliance with specifications and drive efficient critical decisions
• Support vehicle development and supplier reviews, including occasional travel as required
