Suspension Design Engineer

Renault Sport Racing have an excellent opportunity to join our team at a tremendously exciting time in our history within Formula 1.   As we continue to grow as a team, we are looking for a highly talented individual to join the Suspension Design team as a Suspension Design Engineer.   

Design Engineer – The Role

Reporting to the Head of Suspension Design the successful candidate will take ownership of a particular area of the suspension system. This could be the scheming and detailing of inboard/outboard suspension systems and components (such as uprights, rockers, levers, hydraulic & pneumatic systems etc.). In addition, while it is not required that you should be a composites specialist you should be confident to design non-structural composite material components (such as bracketry, cooling ducts etc.). Your duties will also include specifying and detailing any necessary tooling, jigs or testing fixtures.

Design Engineer – The Person

We are looking for an individual who has experience of working in a design role in motorsport, preferably in an F1 team.  Excellent communication skills and a keen eye for detail are a must, alongside the ability to work under pressure.

  • An understanding of implications on overall car performance when balancing design criteria
  • Experience of being a senior specialist/technical expert for a defined part of the car
  • A proven and pro-active fault implementation approach
  • A track record of high standards/ownership for all aspects of work delivered

Candidates must be self-motivated, capable of working with minimal supervision and delivering high quality designs to crucial deadlines.
