About Us

We are a high-performance Formula One Team driven by innovation, precision, and passion. Our Aerodynamic Performance group plays a critical role in maximising the car’s on-track performance by analysing aerodynamic data and supporting development decisions. As an Aero Performance Intern, you'll be part of a team that transforms wind tunnel, CFD, and track data into actionable insights that help shape the car’s design and race strategy.

The Role

As an Aero Performance Student Placement, you'll support the team in analysing aerodynamic behaviour, validating development concepts, and contributing to performance optimisation across a range of conditions. You'll work closely with aerodynamicists, simulation engineers, and vehicle performance teams to ensure the car’s aero package delivers maximum efficiency and downforce.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in analysing wind tunnel, CFD, and trackside aerodynamic data.
  • Support the validation of aero concepts through simulation and testing.
  • Help prepare performance reports and visualisations for design reviews and race events.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in aero analysis workflows.
  • Collaborate with design, simulation, and race engineering teams to ensure aerodynamic performance is fully understood and utilised.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Currently studying a degree in Aerodynamics, Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and seeking an industry placement in your penultimate year of university.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Understanding of aerodynamic principles and vehicle dynamics.
  • Experience with data analysis tools and CFD software is beneficial.
  • Passion for motorsport and a proactive, detail-oriented mindset.
  • You must have the right to work in the UK, as we cannot provide sponsorship for this role.
  • Be available to attend onsite for an assessment centre in September.

What We Offer in Return

At Alpine Formula One Team, you won’t just contribute; you'll make a direct impact on race car performance at the pinnacle of motorsport. Working alongside some of the most talented individuals in the industry, you'll help shape innovation on a global stage.

Our purpose-built facilities in Enstone provide the perfect environment to thrive. We offer a competitive salary, private medical healthcare, full access to our free on-site gym, a fully catered restaurant with a daily allowance and a wide range of additional benefits designed to support your wellbeing and growth.

Beyond the perks, you'll be part of a team that’s pushing boundaries in Formula One. The thrill of pioneering cutting-edge technology, combined with a collaborative and inclusive culture, creates unmatched opportunities for career development and personal achievement.

Take the next step in your career and play your part in shaping the future of Formula One.
