Research and Development Apprentice (Dynos)

Key Skills to be Developed:

Interpreting CAD models and technical drawings to British Standard 8888, to permit the build and assembly of systems for test.

Theory and operation of each of the test environments within our world-class dyno facility. Track testing is becoming more and more limited, and so understanding how we replicate this at the factory is a critical way to add performance to the car.

The application of sensors and instrumentation to ensure that we acquire high quality data during our experiments.

Data analysis to enable the correct interpretation of information from our data acquisition / telemetry systems.

Knowledge of the design and installation of components within the car that you are dressing, servicing and testing, which will include working closely with the relevant designer(s).

Appreciation of the other areas of Research and Development, including supporting the needs within both our Test and Development Lab and Materials Lab at critical points of the year.

The ability to work safely – both individually and as part of a wider team. As well as working in line with Departmental Risk Assessments, this also includes being proactive at highlighting and resolving concerns in line with our “See it, Say it, Fix it” culture.
