## Description

At Ford Racing, you'll work as a CAD/surfacing engineer supporting the Motorsports Aerodynamics group, translating aero performance targets into precise, CFD-ready 3D surfaces and physical hardware.

Responsibilities:

- Build and modify 3D surfaces and geometry to translate aerodynamic design intent and CFD/wind tunnel feedback into usable CAD models.

- Design mechanical components, brackets, and mounting hardware to integrate aero devices and instrumentation onto full-scale and scale-model vehicles.

- Prepare and optimize CAD geometry for rapid prototyping (3D printing/additive manufacturing) of scale models for wind tunnel testing.

- Rapidly iterate surface and mechanical geometry to support quick-turn CFD studies, wind tunnel builds, and aero correlation loops.

- Manage CAD/surfacing content lifecycle within the PLM structure (Teamcenter/3DX) to keep aero and design teams aligned.

Qualifications:

- Associate's degree in a technical discipline or equivalent design experience within the automotive field or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

- 3+ years of experience in an automotive/motorsports product development environment.

- 2+ years of experience surfacing and mechanical modeling in Catia (GSD/ISB), 3DX, NX, SolidWorks, ICEM Surf, Alias, or similar tools.

- Working knowledge of surfacing techniques for functional/aerodynamic geometry (freeform surfaces, lofts, blends) rather than Class-A styling surfaces.

- Experience designing mechanical components/hardware and preparing models for rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing.

- Capability to use 3D CAD/surfacing software as a collaborative tool in a rapid-iteration environment.

- Strong teamwork and collaboration skills, especially with aerodynamics and performance engineering teams.

- Understanding and proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

Benefits:

- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

- Flexible family care days, 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

- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day

- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
