Job description

2025 sees MoneyGram Haas F1 Team celebrate its tenth season in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship — we're just getting started. We don't follow the status quo; we're here to challenge the competition, and we want you to join us.


The first American Formula 1 team to compete in the sport since 1986, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a memorable points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Nine years later, the team continues to demonstrate growth and a clear direction with its future objectives — coming off the back of its second-best season to date in Formula 1.


We're a racing team — not a corporate machine. We have three HQs — Kannapolis in the US, Banbury in the UK, and Maranello in Italy — each powered by passionate, loyal, and hardworking team ambassadors. At MoneyGram Haas F1 Team — known within the paddock as the 'family team' — you'll be involved in many different areas, have wider visibility across the business, and will see your contribution clearly.


Yes, you'll learn from us, but we expect to learn from you too!


General Summary:

This position reports to the Design Team Leader or their designee; it is located in Maranello, Italy. Responsible for designing F1 chassis-related components and mechanical assemblies.


Key Responsibilities:
  1. Promote teamwork and effective communication to develop working relationships across all personnel and departments.
  2. Design of F1 chassis components and mechanical assemblies.
  3. Study and design components through solid modelling, surface modelling, and 2D drawing to achieve high-performance, reliable solutions, and optimized sizing.
  4. Components include suspensions, wheels, hydraulic, fuel, and cooling systems, as well as equipment for car homologation and on-track management (e.g., legality checks, pit stop equipment).
  5. Manage design mock-up activities in the design office.
  6. Follow all safety regulations at all venues.
  7. Perform other duties as assigned by the Design Team Leader or their designee.

Education and Work Experience:

GCSE, High School diploma, or equivalent required. Further education, including a Mechanical Engineering degree, is preferred. Minimum 6 years of work experience, with at least 3 in a professional motorsports environment or F1 companies.


Specialized Knowledge and Skills:
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Excellent understanding of English.
  • Strong technical background in racing cars.
  • Ability to work to high standards in stressful, time-sensitive situations.
  • Quick decision-making skills, working scientifically and analytically through problems.
  • Ability to work well within a team at all levels.
  • Sympathetic approach to colleagues and ability to integrate into a team environment.
  • Positive, can-do attitude and willingness to assist others.

Equipment and Applications:
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks (preferably CATIA), Microsoft Office, and ERP systems.
  • Mechanical aptitude with knowledge of composites.
  • Ability to follow complex regulations related to material shipment and facility maintenance.

Work Environment & Physical Demands:

Ability to prioritize and work methodically in a high-pressure, time-sensitive environment. May require occasional domestic and international travel, long and flexible hours including weekends. Physical demands include lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, squatting, 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 primary responsibilities.


At MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, we value diversity and strive for an inclusive environment. We offer competitive rewards, bonuses, and health programs. If you're passionate about racing, technology, and teamwork, consider joining us to make your passion your profession.


Notice:

All employees must be security cleared to National Security Vetting standards. We support this process. UK residents must have been residents for the last 5 years; others may need an overseas criminal records check.
