Job description

Brackley, UK

At the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, a group of passionate and determined people work to design, develop, manufacture and race the cars with the aim of fighting for world championships each and every year.

Whether working in our Operations, Technical, Race or Business Support functions, we are all in and aspire to build the greatest team in the history of our sport.

Every individual plays their part. No stone is left unturned in the chase for every tenth of a second. The history of our sport is long and rich, and we are continuing our journey with renewed effort year on year. Record books remember the names of a few, but history is written by the many.

The Role:

We have an exciting opening for an Aerodynamic Surface Designer to work within our Aero Design group. You will work collaboratively alongside other skilled designers and aerodynamicists to generate new surface concepts for our Formula One program. As a valued member of our Aerodynamics Department, your ideas and skills will make a tangible contribution to the Team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Creating CAD surfaces for new aerodynamic concepts, working closely with our aerodynamicists
• Maintaining our surface models
• Support with the release of aero surface geometry to the full-size car design office.
• Developing our capability, methodology and processes, e.g. the next generation of CAD tools
  
  

Supported and mentored by knowledgeable engineers, you will see your skills develop. Immersed in a culture of empowerment and fresh thinking, you will take the next step in a successful career in your chosen specialism.

What we are looking for:

You are passionate about design and surfacing, with a determination to deliver at the highest level, applying your skills and understanding to practical engineering challenges.

Essential skills and experiences:

• Experience in a professional surfacing role, for example in motorsport, nautical, aerospace or automotive engineering or in product design
• Skilled in using a high-end CAD package for surfacing. We use CATIA 3DX, but candidates with experience of surfacing in other packages, and who are interested in developing their skills, are also welcome.
• A creative and thoughtful approach to solving engineering challenges
• Capable of working on your own and applying your reflective nature to understand a problem, your open and honest communication style means you also relish collaborating in a team setting. With a broad overview of your subject, you enjoy discussing technical concepts and finding solutions to problems that require an eye for detail design, interpretive skill and dependable judgment.
• A prior interest in motorsport is not required: we are more interested in your potential to deliver by applying your design skills and understanding to practical engineering challenges.
• Having proven you have the skills to excel, you are keen to develop and push yourself, taking your career to the next level.
  
  

Desirable skills and experiences:

• Familiarity with VBA, python or C# to deliver macros/automation.
