Ford Motor Co. (F) said it will hire 3,000 salaried employees this year, 800 more than originally planned, as it moves to fill positions in engineering and other technical areas.

Of the new hires, 2,400 will be professionals for product development, manufacturing, quality, purchasing and information technology, according to an e-mailed statement.

“Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs,” Felicia Fields, group vice president for human resources, said in the statement. About half of the positions have been filled already, according to the statement.
