As part of the Alpine long-term plan to compete for F1 World Championships we are looking to add to our excellent team with individuals who are motivated to significantly contribute to our relentless pursuit of excellence.
Within the Powertrain Group we have a new vacancy as a Senior Powertrain Engineer. This position will be within our Engineering Office based in Enstone, covering a diverse range of components and systems, providing opportunity to be responsible for a significant contribution to our car performance.
Senior Powertrain Design Engineer - The Role
Reporting to the Lead Design Engineer, you will be the technical expert in designing complex hydraulic systems and components. Your responsibilities include creating designs for optimal performance using data-driven decisions, considering key factors such as mass and parasitic losses. You will create detailed hydraulic schematics, diagnose and resolve system issues, select appropriate materials, and choose hydraulic components such as QDs, solenoids, and servovalves. Additionally, you will develop test procedures and ensure on-time delivery of reliable parts meeting all aerodynamic and mechanical requirements. Collaborating closely with the Aerodynamics, Control Systems, and Simulation groups, you will take full cradle-to-grave ownership of your area of the F1 car, including leading the design of hydraulic tooling and liaising with Production and Quality Groups.
