For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.
Job Description

* Create, collate, and communicate the engineering direction to key stakeholders.
* Create and release detailed engineering models and technical drawings using Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
* Remove mechanical limitations to performance development and deployment.
* Actively contribute to the team’s and department’s development.
Essential competencies for our Mechanical Design Engineers
* Previous experience in developing detailed requirements from an engineering scope.
* Competence in using one of the main CAD packages to produce 3D models and 2D engineering drawings.
* Experience in delivering engineering direction when presented with imperfect data.
* Mechanical (or similar discipline) engineering degree or equivalent qualification or experience.
* Experience of successful fault investigation, containment, and rectification.
* Experience in designing for manufacture to improve quality, reduce cost, and reduce lead time without sacrificing performance.
* Designing from a clean sheet using first principles.
