Ford Racing Chassis Systems Engineer

Ford Racing chassis systems engineer focused on analysis and integration of chassis components to deliver vehicle level performance targets on future Ford Racing production vehicles.

The Chassis Systems Engineer is responsible for integrating the chassis components into a vehicle level system. This role will partner 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, support development milestones, and ensure chassis-related data, ADAMS models, and test outputs align with program requirements.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical judgment, attention to detail, and experience working across prototype and production vehicle builds. This position requires the ability to translate test data and engineering requirements into actionable recommendations that support chassis component development, vehicle dynamics performance, durability readiness, and milestone deliverables.

Occasional travel may be required to support vehicle development and supplier reviews.

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...

• The Chassis Systems engineer is the single point of contact for suspension hardpoints and the vehicle ADAMS CAE model. At each milestone they assess the Chassis Systems health chart metrics and work with the component engineers to meet the requirements.
• Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for chassis design issues. Ensure compatibility between chassis components including bushing, ball joint, and threaded fastener joint designs.
• Coordinate durability vehicle preparation and testing ensuring part pedigree matches the CAE model. Lead problem solving efforts for chassis component issues.
• Support the testing, prototype, launch builds and ongoing production of Ford Racing vehicles at assembly plants and test facilities. Set targets for vehicle ride height and alignment, evaluate status at vehicle builds, and cascade travel and check load requirements to shock and spring suppliers.
• Interface daily with other a global team of D&R engineers, vehicle attribute teams, program management, suppliers, and manufacturing to ensure compliance with required specifications and critical decisions are made efficiently.
