Cae Engineer @Motion Applied

Woking, GB

Contributed to the end-to-end mechanical design and delivery of McLaren Applied’s suite of high-performance motorsport electronic products, including ECUs, display screens, and sensors, for series such as Formula 1, NASCAR, WEC, and Formula E.Key responsibilities include concept development, detailed 3D CAD using Siemens NX, structural and thermal simulation (FEA/CFD) using Altair/Siemens tools, design for manufacture and assembly (DFM/DFA), prototyping, and validation testing. Trained to standards for technical drawing and geometric tolerancing, with a focus on producing clear, manufacturing-ready documentation.Engineered ruggedised, compact, and lightweight mechanical solutions optimised for harsh racing environments — addressing challenges such as vibration isolation, thermal dissipation, ingress protection (IP), and tight packaging constraints. Supported rigorous bench testing and environmental qualification, ensuring components met exacting motorsport standards.Collaborated cross-functionally with electronics, software, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure cohesive design integration, particularly in PCB interface, connector layout, and thermal management. Developed machined components in a fast-paced, iterative development cycle while remaining aware of additive and alternative manufacturing options.Provided technical input across multiple product streams simultaneously and supported wider engineering strategy and peer development where needed.
