About The Position

TGR Haas F1 Team is an ambitious Formula 1 team with a history of competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. As the first American Formula 1 team since 1986, they have a strong track record and are continuously building momentum. The team operates with a philosophy of being a racing team rather than a corporate machine, with headquarters in Kannapolis (US), Banbury (UK), and Maranello (Italy). They emphasize that employees will gain exposure to various business areas, enjoy wider visibility, and see the direct impact of their contributions. The team values learning from its employees as much as employees learn from them.

Requirements

A degree in engineering is required, with a specialization in Aerodynamics, Mechanics, or an equivalent qualification.
Experience gained through internships, thesis work, Formula Student, academic projects, or student competitions is highly valued.
Prior professional experience in wind tunnel testing or motorsport is advantageous.
Maintains calm and focus in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.
Able to handle setbacks and adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Trusted to manage confidential information and sensitive team matters.
Upholds the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct.
Collaborative mindset with a commitment to team cohesion and shared success.
Willingness to mentor and develop talent within the organisation.
Comfortable with extensive travel and irregular working hours, including weekends and race days.
Open to innovation and continuous improvement in processes and culture.
Exposure to wind tunnel facilities, model shop environments, and basic hand tools under supervision.
Basic knowledge or academic exposure to CAD software; experience with CATIA / 3DX is an advantage.
Data Acquisition experience is helpful.
Have an excellent understanding of English language.
Foundational understanding of vehicle aerodynamics and engineering principles.
Initial experience or academic exposure to CAD tools.
Many roles require working evenings, weekends, and public holidays, particularly during race season or critical development phases.
Roles supporting race operations, logistics, or communications may involve frequent international travel, including long-haul flights and time zone shifts.
Trackside roles may involve standing for long periods, walking across paddocks, and working in noisy, crowded environments.
Factory roles may require manual handling of components, use of machinery, or working in temperature-controlled areas.
Office-based roles typically involve prolonged computer use and occasional movement between departments.
Exposure to high noise levels (e.g., engines, pit lane activity), bright lighting, and fast-moving environments is common in race support roles.
This role is based in a shared workplace environment where exposure to common allergens (including food products, fragrances and cleaning materials) may occur. While we will always consider reasonable adjustments, we are unable to guarantee a completely allergen‑free environment.
All roles require adherence to strict safety protocols, especially in technical and trackside environments.
Completion of all mandatory compliance training (including health and safety, data protection, and role‑specific regulatory training) is a condition of employment and must be maintained throughout tenure.
Due to the nature of the organisation, all employees of TGR Haas F1 Team are required to be security cleared to National Security Vetting standards.
