We are a team with the ambition to constantly improve our performance on and off the race track. Entering a new era of F1, we are looking to further develop and strengthen our Aerodynamics department in Bicester (UK).

The Role

We are looking for passionate and brilliant Junior Aerodynamicists who will work in one of our development teams. In this role you will be involved in all aspects of aerodynamic development including concept generation, design and development of car components. You will also be involved in aerodynamic assessment of key components on the race car.

Responsibilities

Aerodynamic Development

  • Work with the Team Leader to define the best development strategies, based on directions and performance targets
  • Prepare, supervise and execute aerodynamic test and development programs, from concept formation to finished racecar design
  • Create new geometries using CAD.
  • Submit geometries to test in both WT and CFD and manage the process.
  • Analyse results from CFD and wind tunnel and recommend track test of performant geometrie

Communication And Relationship

  • Communicate effectively with other groups such as model design, model shop, aero technology group, CFD group, aero production and wind tunnel systems group
  • Provide flexible attendance and attitude to work, both in line with the requirements of the role and any specific requirements of the projects
  • To work in a professional manner at all times regardless of the task set and be pro-active in promoting a positive image for the department
