Job description

Are you ready to accelerate your career with a dynamic and innovative F1 team? We have a fantastic opportunity for an exceptionally talented Senior Design Engineer to join our Powertrain Design group within the Engineering Office at Enstone. This position will play a crucial role in helping us push for podiums and race wins.

Our team is dedicated to engineering excellence, pushing the boundaries of technology and optimising performance to achieve our goals. We are built on collaboration and mutual support, fostering a vibrant, inclusive culture where your ideas and contributions are valued.

The Role Of Our Senior Powertrain Design Engineers

You will be part of the team behind all our complex powertrain components and sub-systems, taking ownership of your own designs with the opportunity to apply your theoretical knowledge. Project ownership within the Powertrain section includes components across car fluid systems (Water/Oil(s)/Hydraulics/Fuel), as well as PU-facing systems such as Tailpipe and Air Horn. Component design spans machined metallics and composite components for internal airflow management.

Your Challenge

• Contribute to detailed design specifications from cradle to grave, defining and supporting component or system validation, servicing and utilisation and resolving any issues as they arise.
• Responsibilities include but are not limited to: concept design and scheming components; detailing machined parts; detailing composite components and applicable tooling; design and specification of build tooling for complex assemblies.
• Be capable of technically leading a project, liaising as required with Chief Engineer(s), other Design Section and Departments across the Team as required, and highlighting/escalating technical and timing conflicts that may occur
• Be able to mentor less experienced Engineers through demonstration of Engineering best practice, and technically approve work of others as a fundamental part of Design sign-off

Who We Want

We are looking to enhance our talented team with someone who has extensive experience, ideally within F1 or another high-level motorsport. You should be educated to degree level or equivalent in Engineering and have a solid base knowledge of engineering first principles.

We need someone who is self-motivated, analytical, and a pragmatic decision-maker capable of working with minimal supervision. We seek someone with a creative, innovative, and consistent approach to problem-solving, with a strong attention to detail to deliver right-first-time solutions.

It would be ideal if you had previous CAD experience with Catia V5/3DX, but we will support with
