Hi everyone,
I’ve recently come across an opportunity in Motorsport R&D (intership ) focused on the development of high-performance, street-legal tyres, and I’m seriously considering applying.
The position is described as follows:
- Designing high-performance car and motorsport tyres, taking into account performance, durability, and market requirements
- Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the tyre production process, including material selection and manufacturing techniques
- Developing and refining both indoor and outdoor testing methodologies to accurately characterise product performance, as well as software tools to streamline the development workflow
- Enhancing and improving software tools for the analysis and interpretation of testing results, using data to assess tyre performance and identify areas for improvement
- Creating development plans and defining strategies to meet project objectives
- Working within cross-functional teams to develop collaborative and professional problem-solving skills
They are looking for candidates with:
- A Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
- Good knowledge of software used for FEM modelling
- Good knowledge of MATLAB and Python
How would you prepare for a role like this, both in terms of theoretical knowledge and practical skills (software, projects, etc.)?
