• Work with engineers across Design, Manufacturing, Operations, and Performance groups to gather information and track progress on fault resolution activities.
• Support system and process improvement initiatives within the Reliability function
• Participate in technical reviews, meetings, and discussions, gaining exposure to the lifecycle of car development.
• Collaborate with design, performance, manufacturing, and test teams to implement reliability improvements
• Help ensure components meet reliability, performance, and regulatory requirements

• An enthusiasm for engineering, with a desire to proactively learn within a high-performance motorsport environment.
• Strong collaboration skills, with the resilience to adapt to changing priorities and overcome challenges in a fast-paced environment.
