The role
You will be working closely with the Electronics and Mechanical Engineering departments in the design and prototype manufacture of wiring harnesses, ranging in size and complexity from small adapter pieces to full race car systems. In addition, you will be responsible for assembly and test of many of the electronic devices designed and manufactured in-house. Your experience of the harsh racing car environment will allow you to proactively contribute to the robust design of all of Ilmor’s racing electrical and electronic systems.
Other duties will include testing of suspect components, reporting to the design departments on the test results and making recommendations to improve system reliability.
You will also be actively involved in specifying, assembling, testing and operating a variety of test rigs including alternator, electronic actuator, small hybrid drive and fuel system component rigs. You will also assist in supporting the electrical installation side of the engine test facilities.

Essential
- Fully conversant with DR25 system, motorsport wiring specifications and premier racing series wiring harness mechanical design.
- Harness testing using a dedicated tester (Cirris etc).

- Ability to design and build simple prototype electronic circuits.
- Good mentoring skills.
- Experience with McLaren electronics (System Monitor, ATLAS).
