Scuderia AlphaTauri, in its ambition to constantly challenge the status quo and push for continuous improvement, is looking to further invest in its growth by expanding its capabilities. Entering a new era of F1, we are looking to develop and strengthen our Aerodynamics Department in the UK.
If you’re passionate and brilliant Aerodynamicist and looking for the next step on your journey where you can make a difference and bring your expertise.
Responsibilities
Areas that play to your strengths
All the responsibilities we'll trust you with:
Development
Working as part of the Aerodynamic Development group, you will be involved in the aerodynamic concept generation, design, development, characterisation, and assessment of key components on the race car. This will involve the use of semi-empirical, CFD, wind tunnel testing methods and in some circumstances on-track testing.
Test
Prepare, supervise, and execute aerodynamic test and development programs, from concept formation to finished race car design and extensive use of both CFD, wind tunnel and other tools to develop components, from initial idea to finished design.
Wind Tunnel
Conduct wind tunnel testing (some shift work will be required) and reporting of results. Provide accurate and timely aero tests, actively contributing to an increase in the car performance.
Flexibility
Provide flexible attendance and attitude to work, both in line with the requirements of the role and any specific requirements of the projects.
Professionalism
Always work in a professional manner regardless of the task set and be pro-active in promoting a positive image for the department/team/sponsors.
Experience
Your areas of knowledge and expertise
that matter most for this role:
- At least 2 years’ experience of F1 Aerodynamic development
- Proficient computer skills including CFD and 3D CAD software
- Creativity and innovation
- The capacity to lead a project, solve complex problems and achieve performance targets within strict deadlines
- An in-depth technical appreciation of semi-empirical, CFD and wind tunnel test techniques
- A strong aerodynamic academic background of minimum degree level, and solid relevant working experience
- A team-player attitude and the ability to work under pressure and minimal supervision
- Travel 0-10%
