Ford Racing Features & Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Supervisor

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.
