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, your 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 Design Engineer, you will design, develop and implement innovative mechanical / composite components and systems.

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 Design Group, your ideas will make a real contribution to the success of our Applied Science projects.

Key Accountabilities

Your Responsibilities May Include

  • Designing innovative mechanical and composite components and systems
  • Owning projects from concept, through design and testing to implementation
  • Supporting senior engineers on larger, more complex initiatives
  • Generating 3D models, assemblies and 2D drawings, including defining and documenting manufacturing information
  • Improving existing processes and introducing new capabilities

Supported and guided by experts, you will grow your technical and professional skills. Immersed in a culture of empowerment, fresh thinking and continuous learning, you will build a strong foundation for a successful career in your chosen field.

This role is office-based, at our campus in Brackley, United Kingdom.
