About this role
Help shape the aerodynamic performance of a Formula 1 car from concept through to wind tunnel testing. The Opportunity We're looking for a Junior Aerodynamicist to join our Aerodynamics team in Maranello, Italy. Working closely with the Aerodynamics Team Leader and the wider aerodynamics group, you'll support the design, analysis and testing of aerodynamic concepts that contribute directly to car performance. This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career engineer to gain hands-on experience across aerodynamic development activities, from numerical and experimental analysis through to wind tunnel testing and model design. You'll be involved in the full development cycle and see your work translated into real performance gains on track. What You'll Do * Analyse aerodynamic modelling results from both experimental testing and numerical simulations. * Develop and evaluate alternative aerodynamic concepts and designs. * Write procedures, test plans and technical reports to communicate findings. * Create production documentation for wind tunnel test parts. * Support surface definition and aerodynamic concept development. * Undertake or support model part design activities. * Participate in wind tunnel testing and coordinate activities required for successful test execution. * Work collaboratively with engineers and stakeholders to support aerodynamic development programmes. What We're Looking For * GCSE, High School Diploma, or equivalent qualification in a relevant discipline. * Strong technical understanding of racing car engineering principles. * Proven experience using CFD software and 3D CAD software. * Understanding of aerodynamics, fluid analysis and thermodynamics. * Knowledge of structural analysis and vehicle dynamics. * Ability to understand, model and create engineering components or devices. * Excellent English language skills. * Positive, proactive attitude with a willingness to support colleagues. * Computer with Microsoft Office and engineering packages including but not limited to, wind tunnel, basic hand tools, fabrication tools. * Flexibility to support wind tunnel testing during weekends and night shifts when required. It Would Be An Advantage If You Also Have * Engineering degree or further education in an engineering-related discipline. * Data Acquisition experience.
