Alpine F1 Team isn’t just about speed—it’s about pushing the limits of technology, design, and performance. Based in the breathtaking Oxfordshire countryside, our cutting-edge facilities and dynamic team culture create the perfect environment for engineers to experiment, grow, and make a real impact in the world of Formula 1.

If you thrive on challenge, love the thrill of racing, and have the drive to help us chase the championship, we want you on our team. Apply today and let’s make history—together.

The Role

Drive innovation. Master aerodynamics. Shape the future of racing.

In this role, you’ll be helping the department develop complex shapes that push the boundaries of performance while navigating challenging legality requirements. Your expertise will directly influence the aerodynamic efficiency of our Formula 1 car, helping us gain a competitive edge on the track.

If you’re ready to think beyond limits and make a real impact in the world of F1, this is your chance.

Your Main Responsibilities Will Be

• Working in the Surface Design group, you will contribute to creating surfacing schemes to allow aerodynamic concepts to be evaluated.
• Alongside our aerodynamicists, you will be a key part of the process of ensuring that the surfaces tested comply with the Formula One technical regulations.
• You will liaise with other members of the aero department, such as aerodynamicists, CFD engineers and wind tunnel model designers, to ensure that the desired aerodynamic intent is captured, and our development process runs smoothly.
• You will liaise with Planners to ensure that wind tunnel and CFD deadlines are met.
• You will liaise with the design team for the race car to ensure the compatibility of aero surfaces with full-size manufacturing techniques, and to formally release geometry following aerodynamic sign-off.
• You will proactively use your skills and knowledge to improve the methodology and procedures used to develop the surfaces of our car.

The Person

The person we are looking for will have many of these skills and capabilities:

• Experience in a surface design role in Formula One or another relevant industry.
• The ability to interpret geometric descriptions and sketches and use them to create complex 3D geometry.
• While not a requirement, it would be an advantage to have a degree in one of the following or a similar subject: Mechanical Engineering. Product Design, Automotive and Transport Design, Automotive Engineering,
• CAD experience (Catia 3DX would be a particular advantage).
• Excellent communication, liaison and team working skills, recognising that working together with colleagues in other disciplines is essential to the efficient function of the department.
• The ability to manage your work schedule effectively and efficiently to meet demanding design deadlines.
