We are a racing team, not a corporate machine. Our headquarters are in Kannapolis (US), Banbury (UK), and Maranello (Italy). We are passionate, loyal, and hardworking. Known as the 'family team' within the paddock, we offer diverse roles, broad visibility, and the chance to see your contributions make an impact.

We learn from each other and grow together.

• Design of F1 chassis components and mechanical assemblies.
• Study and develop components using solid and surface modelling and 2D drawings for high-performance, reliable solutions.
• Design scope includes suspensions, wheels, hydraulic, fuel, cooling systems, and equipment for homologation and track-side management.
• Manage design mock-up activities in the design office.
• Follow all safety regulations at venues.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Design Team Leader.

• Mechanical aptitude and knowledge of composites.
• Ability to follow complex regulations regarding materials shipment and facility maintenance.

Work Environment and Physical Demands:

Must prioritize tasks in a high-pressure environment, with occasional travel and long hours, including weekends. Physical demands include lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, squatting, and manual dexterity. The environment involves machinery, race cars, rigs, debris, and hazardous fluids. Compliance with health and safety policies is mandatory.

This description may not include all duties but covers the essential responsibilities.

At MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, we value diversity, inclusion, and our employees' well-being. We offer competitive rewards, bonuses, and health programs. If you're passionate about racing, technology, and teamwork, consider joining us to turn your passion into a profession.
