Mechanical Design Engineer - Powertrain/Power Unit Integration
Powertrain/Power Unit Integration Design and Suspension, Steering, and Brakes Design. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the cutting-edge design and integration of systems that push the limits of performance and innovation in Formula 1.
Key Responsibilities:
Powertrain/Power Unit Integration Design:
* Design and integrate high-performance powertrain/power unit systems (engine, transmission, hybrid/electric) into the F1 car architecture.
* Collaborate closely with other engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and optimise vehicle performance.
* Assist in testing and validation of powertrain systems, ensuring high reliability
Suspension, Steering, and Brakes Design:
* Design and optimize suspension, steering, and braking systems to meet the specific demands of Formula 1 racing.
* Work alongside other engineering teams to ensure integration with powertrain and other vehicle systems.
Key Requirements:
* Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
* Proven experience in designing and integrating powertrain, suspension, steering, and braking systems in high-performance vehicles, preferably in motorsport (F1 experience a plus).
* Strong proficiency in either CATIA or NX CAD software.
* Deep understanding of the dynamic behaviour of powertrain systems, suspension, steering, and braking components in motorsport applications.
* Ability to perform simulations and validate designs in high-performance, high-stress environments.
* Experience working within the constraints of tight deadlines and high-performance targets typical of Formula 1 development.
* Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams.
Preferred Skills:
* Hands-on experience in F1 or other motorsport vehicle design and development.
* Expertise in simulation tools integrated within CATIA/NX,
