- Location: Operations Centre, Brackley, NN13 7BD
- Employment type: Full-Time
About The Role
We are seeking a self-motivated individual to join our team as an Apprentice within the Research and Development group. In this position you will be embedded within our Dyno Facility, and you will take a hands-on role in developing our ability to sign-off safety-, performance-, and reliability- critical components for use on our race car.
Reporting to a senior member of our technician team, your apprenticeship will provide periods of integration across the different areas of our dyno environment, and you will be mentored by the subject matter expert for each of these. You will learn the theory and practical skills to:
- Support with dressing of car systems such as gearboxes, hydraulics and brakes, and the installation of these systems into the relevant dyno test facility – for “business as usual” production sign-off as well as our “Virtual Track Test” events where we operate as if we are at the circuit.
- Servicing of the critical facility-side plant and systems such as the air handling units that make our full car feel like it is on the track, and the off-car rigs that support the car systems in the garage.
- By the conclusion of your apprenticeship, be able to take specific ownership of the testing of a system of the car in the dyno (as an example – this could be conducting performance testing and car pass-off testing of cooling system components in our thermal dyno).
This Apprenticeship will take part at our Campus in Brackley, alongside additional learning at a Technical College. Typically, this would be four days per week in the workplace with one day per week in the classroom setting.
