What you'll do
As an Engine Mechanic for the LMDh project at Hyundai Motorsport, you will be part of a high-performance team responsible for the assembly, maintenance, and optimization of hybrid power units used in our endurance racing program. This role requires precision, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both combustion and hybrid-electric systems in a motorsport environment.
- Assemble complete race engines (short block and top end) according to defined build specifications, drawings, and procedures.
- Measure, fit, and verify all critical engine components (bearings, pistons, valves, cams, crankshaft, etc.) using precision instruments.
- Maintain accurate build records and traceability documentation (torque logs, clearances, serial numbers, parts usage, etc.).
- Disassemble and inspect engines post-event or post-dyno for wear, damage, and component life tracking.
- Collaborate with design, development, and dyno teams to support continuous performance and reliability improvements.
- Identify and report potential assembly or quality issues, contributing to root cause analyses and countermeasures.
- Ensure cleanliness and organization of the build area in accordance with motorsport standards.
- Support dyno and test operations (installation, pre-start checks, post-test inspections).
- Occasionally travel to test or race events to provide engine support (if required).
What you need
- Completed vocational training as an automotive or motorsport mechanic, or equivalent technical qualification.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in high-performance engine assembly, preferably in endurance racing (LMDh, LMP, GT, or F1).
- Strong knowledge of internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and associated electronics.
- Proficiency in using precision measurement tools and interpreting technical drawings.
- Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
- Willingness to travel internationally for race and test events.
Why this matters
This role keeps a world-championship-winning F1 team running. When equipment fails, races can be lost, so your work directly impacts performance. You'll develop deep expertise in high-spec facilities and have clear progression into senior facilities management roles. The F1 environment means you'll work with cutting-edge building systems and learn from the best in the industry.
