The posting

Help shape the aerodynamic performance of a Formula 1 car.

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Design Engineer with a strong background in Formula 1 aerodynamic surfacing to lead the delivery of high-quality aerodynamic geometry for CFD, wind tunnel testing and race car development.

Working closely with Aerodynamicists and fellow designers, you’ll take ownership of major surfacing projects, translating aerodynamic concepts into precise, high-quality geometry that meets performance, legality and programme requirements.

This is an opportunity to combine advanced surfacing expertise with technical leadership, driving design quality, developing methodologies and helping shape the aerodynamic performance of our car. Your work will directly contribute to our ambition to challenge at the front of the grid.

*Please note: We have opportunities at multiple levels and welcome applications from Engineer, Senior Engineer and Lead Engineer candidates. The role and responsibilities will be tailored to reflect your experience and level of expertise.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the planning, design and delivery of complex aerodynamic surfacing projects, from concept through to release for CFD, wind tunnel testing and race car application.
  • Own geometry quality, legality and delivery timing, ensuring designs meet aerodynamic requirements and programme deadlines.
  • Develop and optimise advanced CAD surfacing techniques, parametric methodologies and design workflows in collaboration with Aerodynamicists.
  • Drive continuous improvement in design tools, processes and standards to improve efficiency, consistency and surfacing quality.
  • Support FIA legality checking, maintain regulation box CAD models and ensure compliance with relevant technical regulations.
  • Identify technical risks and delivery constraints early, providing clear progress updates and solutions to senior stakeholders.
  • Champion technical excellence, collaboration and consistent best practice across the Aerodynamic Surfacing group.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other designers, helping develop capability and maintain high standards across the team.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

  • Extensive experience in Formula 1 aerodynamic surfacing, with a proven track record of delivering complex geometry for wind tunnel, CFD and race car development.
  • Expert CAD skills and advanced surface modelling capability, including complex geometry and parametric design methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamic development processes and the interfaces between surfacing, CFD, wind tunnel testing and vehicle programmes.
  • Experience managing complex design projects, balancing technical quality, legality and delivery under demanding deadlines.
  • Knowledge of FIA technical regulations and legality checking methods.
  • Experience improving surfacing tools, workflows and design methodologies, with the ability to influence technical direction.
  • Strong communication, problem-solving and leadership skills, including the ability to guide and develop other designers.
  • A proactive, collaborative and solution-focused approach, with the judgement to balance competing technical and programme priorities.

Make an impact

At Aston Martin Aramco, you’ll have the opportunity to influence the geometry that underpins our aerodynamic development, working alongside talented specialists to turn innovative concepts into solutions that contribute directly to car performance.

You’ll help drive technical excellence across the Aerodynamic Surfacing group, shape how complex design challenges are approached and contribute to our ambition to challenge at the front of the grid.

If you have the F1 aerodynamic surfacing experience, technical depth and drive to make a difference, we’d like to hear from you.
