We are a racing team, not a corporate machine. Our three headquarters are in Kannapolis (US), Banbury (UK), and Maranello (Italy), driven by passionate and dedicated team members. Known as the 'family team' within the paddock, we offer diverse roles, broad visibility, and meaningful contributions to our collective success.

We learn from each other and strive to improve together.

• Components include suspensions, wheels, hydraulic, fuel, cooling systems, and equipment for homologation and on-track management.
• Manage design mock-up activities within the design office.
• Follow all safety regulations.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Design Team Leader.

• Mechanical aptitude with knowledge of composites.
• Ability to comply with complex regulations regarding material shipment and facility maintenance.

Work Environment and Physical Demands:

Must work effectively in high-pressure, time-sensitive environments, with occasional domestic and international travel. Long, flexible hours including weekends may be required. 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 and responsibilities as assigned by management.

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