Electrical Systems Engineer

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.

At Ford, our commitment to engineering the world’s best performance vehicles isn't just a business goal, it’s our origin story. It began in 1901 when Henry Ford’s "Sweepstakes" race car utilized mechanical fuel injection and insulated spark plugs to win his first and only race. That victory provided the notoriety and funding to launch Ford Motor Company.

Today, that same spirit drives the Ford Performance team. From the sands of Baja to the pavement of Le Mans, our success on the track fuels the development of our road‑going icons. We are the team behind the Raptor, Mustang GT350, the legendary Ford GT, and the next generation of high‑performance vehicles.

Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life.

We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more!
