Our vision is that our people and technologies will pioneer a better future. Our mission is to achieve breakthroughs in performance. We're at the cutting edge of innovation in industries including automotive transportation and motorsport. We create solutions that drive efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We want to help to reduce the carbon footprint and become more sustainable. Our focus is on electrification and telemetry, control and analytics. To deliver efficient lightweight electric powertrain and vehicle development; motorsport solutions that make series more sustainable and efficient; reliable connectivity solutions for transportation and insightful analytics and monitoring of transport fleets. By applying our expertise, we deliver real benefits and pioneer a better future. The Team Our Mechanical Engineering team has an open and inquisitive mindset, eager to explore and solve tough engineering challenges. We deliver data-led solutions and have the capability to provide input across all of McLaren Applied's hardware engineering programmes. Our multi-skilled team applies world-leading engineering tools, techniques, and processes to the creation of novel concepts, detailed design, and verification through to production delivery. Value comes from a number of our key strengths, including: mechanical analysis simulation and optimisation; advanced 3D modelling; application of high-performance materials; prototyping and performance validation testing; and design for production. As a small, highly effective, and agile team, we work closely with other Engineering functions, Chief Engineers, Product Management and Operations teams. We pride ourselves on our collaboration across the company and wider business and our strong working relationships with external customers. Purpose of the Role Deliver innovative breakthroughs in performance through the application of advanced technology, design and data-led mechanical engineering. Principle Accountabilities Design and engineer high-performance products and components using a data-led approach. Confidently analyse and overcome mechanical engineering design problems with feasible and innovative solutions. Operate within a multi-disciplinary team, in a range of different industries outside of familiar areas of expertise. Support project planning, budget estimates and pre-sales bid activities, taking an active role in customer technical discussions. Plan, manage and account for your time. Anticipate any issues which might affect delivery progress and proactively address these, escalating for support if required. Communicate with clarity with key stakeholders at all levels of our business, customer organisations and supply partners. Share and articulate complex mechanical designs and concepts with peers and non-engineering colleagues, such that others can easily understand, build and evolve your ideas collaboratively. Write project proposals, technical requirements and specifications, and other documentation to a high standard. Produce and confidently deliver impactful engineering presentations to internal and external audiences. Drive your career development proactively as part of a structured appraisal and feedback process. Identify and undertake learning and development opportunities and actively manage a continuous professional development plan. Provide input into team strategy discussions, taking a shared responsibility for the team's growth, capability development, and external image. Help to continually improve our team's processes and enhancements to our toolsets.
