Are you ready to kick-start your engineering career at the pinnacle of motorsport?
Our Quality Engineering Team plays a vital role in ensuring that only the highest-quality components and assemblies make it onto our race-winning Formula 1 car. We work across the business to champion a Right-First-Time mindset, collaborating with Design, Engineering and Operational teams, as well as our external suppliers, to deliver excellence at every stage.
From developing product specifications aligned with process capability to managing supplier performance and resolving issues rapidly and robustly, our work is fast-paced, impactful, and essential to success on track.
We also lead Continuous Improvement initiatives and support the management of our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, helping drive efficiency and innovation across the organisation.

- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to respond quickly and effectively.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to deliver cross-functional results.
- A curious mindset, commitment to continuous learning, and adaptability in a fast-changing environment.
Desirable:
- Basic understanding of Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001 or similar) and exposure to quality tools (e.g. 8D, 5-Why).
- Hands-on experience with vehicles (e.g. Formula Student, race series volunteering, kit car builds).
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings (including GD&T).
- Coding or programming skills (e.g. VBA, Python).
