We are now inviting early-careers professionals to join our Applied Science Graduate scheme. If you have an open and curious mind, a creative approach to problems, and are keen to develop yourself further, this could be the perfect opportunity to launch your career in a dynamic team environment.

As a graduate on our scheme, you will take ownership of exciting technical challenges, while also contributing to more complex projects alongside experienced specialists. Initially, you will support our portfolio of customer activities, but later there may be opportunities to move to the Formula One side of our Team.

Our graduate scheme is a fantastic opportunity to learn from exceptional professionals who bring passion and determination to everything they do. Immersed in a high-performance culture and guided by experienced specialists, you will develop your skills and knowledge, applying your theoretical knowledge and skills to deliver real-world impact.

About The Role

As a Graduate Aerodynamicist you will improve vehicle performance by developing aerodynamic concepts, using tools such as our state-of-the-art CFD facilities to deepen your understanding of complex flow structures, while also enhancing the tools you and your colleagues use to find performance.

Working collaboratively as part of a small team, you will apply your creative and thoughtful nature to a variety of stimulating challenges. By interpreting trends and building insight, you will create novel solutions to real problems. As a valued member of the Aerodynamics Group, your ideas will make a real contribution to the success of our Applied Science projects.

Key Accountabilities

• Developing concepts that enhance aerodynamic or hydrodynamic performance
• Interpreting trends, for example from CFD, experimental, or real-world testing
• Improving our understanding of flow structures
• Collaborating to create innovative solutions
• Enhancing the tools you and your colleagues use to find performance
• Surfacing and designing components in CAD
• Meshing and post-processing CFD
• Planning and running test and development programmes

Required:

Technical Skills And Experience

• A master’s degree in a relevant discipline with content that includes aerodynamics. Examples could include: Aerospace, Mechanical, Automotive, or Motorsport Engineering or similar
• Experience of aerodynamic design, application or research, gained through university projects, extra-curricular activities or working in industry
  
  

Candidate Profile

Your commitment and diligence have yielded good university results: you have completed, or will soon be completing, a relevant course of undergraduate or post-graduate study and you have a good appreciation of the relevant technical subject matter.

With an open and honest communication style, you relish collaborating in a team setting and enjoy discussing technical concepts. You are equally comfortable working on your own: applying your reflective nature, interpretive skills, attention to detail and dependable judgment to understand complicated problems then propose and evaluate viable solutions in a timely fashion. Looking to fulfil your potential, you are excited about constantly learning while fostering the understanding of others.

A prior interest or involvement in motorsport is not required: we are more interested in your potential to deliver at the highest level, applying your skills and understanding to practical challenges.
