ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Research and Development Design Engineer you will take specific responsibility for design projects involving prove-out testing of suspension and powertrain components within our test environments (such as our 7-post rig and sub-system dynos), and homologation of safety critical components such as the chassis.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES (DUTIES):

• Responsible for the design of interfaces between car components and test rigs to enable performance testing, reliability prove-out or production sign-off.
• Designing of “Proof of Concept” installations to demonstrate the validity of a new technology or supplier.
• Application of engineering calculations to support your design work in pursuit of “right first time”. This will include hand calculations and the use of finite element analysis.
• Supporting the capture of requirements and development of specifications for new testing facilities and capabilities.
• Assisting in the coordination of design and manufacturing programmes and with the testing and calibration of equipment.
• Supporting in-house tests as required, especially for first-off tests of components.
• Assisting with commercialisation of our high-end test facilities.
• Responsibility for feedbacks associated with test rigs. This involves working on immediate containments for issues and developing long term countermeasures to ensure that each time we perform a test it is better than the last.
• Supporting the race team through the design of pit stop and garage equipment.
