Structures Analyst

Overview

In this Structures Analyst role, you assess and optimise structural components to support Formula One performance, safety and reliability. You will apply FEA and classical calculations to validate innovative concepts and guide design decisions across the team. Working closely with Design, Aerodynamics, Vehicle Dynamics, R&D Testing and the Race Team, you influence from concept through to trackside performance. You will explore materials like composites, metals and plastics to maximise stiffness and durability while pursuing weight reduction. This is a chance to contribute to world-class racing and shape the engineering of cutting-edge race cars.
