You will take ownership of projects from concept through to prototype testing and race deployment working closely with other engineering departments to ensure world-class performance and reliability.
About You
With a deep understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic system design you bring hands-on expertise in gearbox or powertrain hydraulic systems confidently selecting pumps valves actuators accumulators and other critical components and packaging them efficiently within tight spatial constraints.
Your strong grasp of engineering fundamentals - materials stress and fluid mechanics - underpins every decision you make and your background includes a relevant engineering degree (Mechanical Automotive or Aerospace) supported by practical design experience in motorsport aerospace or precision engineering. Youre fluent in CAD and ideally familiar with Siemens NX but youre just as capable of adapting quickly if your experience lies with other platforms.
Above all youre a clear communicator and a collaborative teammate confident working across disciplines and influencing others to drive the best possible outcomes.
Main responsibilities:
Leading the concept design and detailing of mechanical hydraulic and pneumatic components and assemblies across the powertrain and chassis.

Conducting design reviews independently or alongside the Principal Engineer and Head of Department.
Deputising for the Principal Engineer and Head of Department when required.
Taking end-to-end ownership of projects - from design through manufacture assembly testing and on-car validation - including fault analysis and root cause resolution.
Supporting design checking and peer reviews ensuring compliance with performance specifications and continuous benchmarking against competitors.
Driving innovation and continuous improvement in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Mentoring junior engineers sharing expertise in fluid system design and integration best practices.
