Model Maker
Posted 3 days 6 hours ago by Mane Energy
In Formula 1, performance isn't just designed-it's built, tested, refined, and pushed to the limit. This is where you come in.
We are looking for a highly skilled Model Maker to play a critical role in the development of cutting edge aerodynamic models. Your work will directly influence wind tunnel testing and, ultimately, on track performance.
Working at the intersection of precision engineering and rapid innovation, you will transform complex designs into high quality physical components that help unlock performance gains measured in milliseconds.
What You'll Be Responsible For Precision Model Construction- Assemble and prepare high performance wind tunnel models and components in line with the aerodynamic development programme.
- Deliver exceptional quality parts and assemblies, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and performance.
- Take ownership of day to day model shop activities, executing tasks with precision and a strong attention to detail.
- Collaborate closely with Aerodynamicists, Model Design, Mechanical Design, and Additive Manufacturing teams to deliver components for wind tunnel testing.
- Support the continuous evolution of the wind tunnel programme, ensuring parts are delivered on time and to the highest standard.
- Work with internal teams to coordinate testing schedules and priorities, ensuring seamless execution.
- Contribute to the exploration of new technologies, materials, and manufacturing techniques.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency, and build quality.
- Bring a proactive, solution focused mindset to every challenge.
- Manage your workload to meet tight deadlines and shifting priorities.
- Ensure all components are delivered on time and ready for test, without compromising quality.
- Maintain clear and timely communication on progress, risks, and deliverables.
- Build strong working relationships across teams, contributing to a collaborative and high performance environment.
- Promote a positive, professional attitude, supporting both team success and continuous improvement.
- Be flexible in your approach, including shift work and weekend support when required to meet programme demands.
- Experience in automotive or high performance engineering (F1 experience highly desirable).
- Strong understanding of precision manufacturing and model assembly techniques.
- Good working knowledge of mechanical systems and component integration.
- Ability to work independently and scope tasks with minimal supervision.
- Comfortable operating under pressure and tight timelines.
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to delivering high quality output.
- Hands on, proactive, and driven by results.
- Flexible and adaptable to changing demands and fast paced environments.
- A team player with a "can do" attitude and a focus on continuous improvement.
Every component you build contributes directly to performance on track. Your craftsmanship, precision, and speed will play a vital role in shaping aerodynamic gains at the highest level of motorsport.
If you take pride in building world class components and want to see your work translated into real performance, this is your opportunity.
