The opportunity:

TCG is partnering exclusively with a leading high-performance composites business that has recently launched a new advanced technologies division spanning motorsport, aerospace and defence. They're currently building their founding engineering team, and are developing their own proprietary materials and deep-tech engineering IP.

We're recruiting a Design Engineer for the more junior to mid-level end of the team, focused on fast-turnaround motorsport work. This suits someone who understands the pace of F1 and composite design, and who wants to grow into more complex programmes over time.

The role:

• Support fast-paced motorsport design work with quick turnaround demands
• Work across composite design and development
• Contribute to a founding engineering team as one of its first hires
• Support wider aerospace and defence programmes as the team develops

What we're looking for:

• Design engineering background from motorsport or F1
• Understanding of the quick-turnaround pace that motorsport design requires
• Composites experience a strong advantage (the bulk of the work is composites-led), but not essential for the right engineer
• Appetite to develop and take on more technical work over time
• CATIA V5 proficiency required; NX also considered
