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.

Product Creation and Industrialization (PC&I) brings together Ford’s vehicle, electric, digital and design teams with our global manufacturing system. Working as one end-to-end organization, we turn ideas into high-quality vehicles, software and experiences across gas, hybrid and electric, designed around what customers need.

In this position... Ford's Aerodynamics team is looking for an exceptional, well rounded, Aerodynamics Engineer to grow our capabilities and help us accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. You will be involved in the development of ground-breaking new products from their earliest conception, through to volume production and beyond, delivering unparalleled efficiency and ludicrous performance alongside uncompromising comfort, safety and reliability. The successful candidate will have a proven record of applying deep technical understanding to real world design problems to produce creative solutions. You will work dynamically with cross functional partners in Design, Vehicle Engineering and Program Management to meet challenging aerodynamics targets and redefine what is possible in the automotive industry.

Responsibilities

What you'll do...

  • Use a first principles approach to create aerodynamically efficient designs and redefine what is possible in the automotive industry
  • Work with cross functional partners, such as Design and Vehicle Engineering, from early concept to production to relentlessly improve aerodynamic performance and an awesome overall product
  • Work alongside Designers to define products that are as aerodynamically efficient as they are aesthetically pleasing
  • Design and modify aerodynamic concepts in CAD
  • Evaluate and refine designs using CFD and experimental methods
  • Define and execute wind tunnel, road and track test programs
  • Working with engineers to optimize part execution for aerodynamics and to resolve design conflicts
  • Developing tools and methods used within the Aerodynamics team

Qualifications

You'll have...

  • BS degree Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering or a combination of education and equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of experience in aerodynamic development
  • 5+ years using CFD and experimental testing, such as wind tunnel or road testing
  • 3+ years creating and manipulating 3D surfaces in CAD

Even better, you may have...

  • Master's or PhD degree in Aerospace/Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering
  • Detailed technical knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals
  • Ability to work towards challenging goals with minimal supervision
  • Ability to communicate complex aerodynamics concepts and goals to cross functional partners
  • Track record of creating and developing novel aerodynamic concepts
  • Automotive or Motorsport industry experience
  • A passion for sustainable energy or solving technical challenges

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a changemaker, a technical expert, a culture builder…or all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including: • Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage • Paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more • Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments and more • Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases • Tuition assistance • Established and active employee resource groups • Paid time off for individual and team community service • Generous vacation time, sick/personal time, and paid holidays, including between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
