This role is perfect for the experienced NVH systems engineer that is self-motivated and proactive, is capable of owning all aspects of a vehicle program from cradle to grave, is highly collaborative and seeking opportunities to work on the highest performing cars and trucks in the industry.
The position is full time on-site and located at the Ford Racing offices in Allen Park, MI.
About Us... 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. 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.
What you'll do...
- Own the NVH attribute for Ford Racing on/off-road vehicles, leading both program and technical development while representing the customer
- Plan and execute subsystem and vehicle-level development across all GPDS phases
- Serve as point person for assigned programs, communicating workplans, attribute status, and issue resolution
- Establish pre-program targets for hardware/system selection using analytical tools to meet attribute targets and minimize trade-offs before prototypes are available
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Body, Powertrain, Chassis, and development partners (Vehicle Dynamics, VEME, CAE/Simulation, Powertrain Controls)
- Deliver all NVH attributes (sound quality, driveline, road, wind, exterior noise, secondary ride) and related quality metrics
- Use analytical tools (CAE, Simulator, etc.) to assess attribute status, root-cause issues, determine solutions, and define tuning libraries to meet targets
- Create and manage test plans supporting tuning freezes and attribute assessments at major milestones
- Manage/perform off-site testing, scheduling objective testing with internal (VEV) and external vendors/suppliers
- Complete and document all DVP and CDR requirements, including exterior legal noise
