Chance to win six-month placement in R&DFor the fourth year running the Renault team and Altran will run the Altran Engineering Academy. The team will open its doors to one winning candidate, who will gain the opportunity to work on a six-month placement with the Renault
F1 team R&D department. Included in the prize are accommodation in Oxford, a company car and a comfortable salary.
The winner will also have the support of an Altran expert who will help him settle and focus on his mission. Candidates will present their case study on a project featuring technological innovation in one of seven disciplines: aerodynamics, power, performance engineering, vehicle dynamics, control systems, electronics, materials transducers and fuel technology.
Previous winners Mark Caldwell, Isaac Prada and Gustav Kristiansson have defined their experience as a turning point in their career.
With more than one participant to the competition now being employed by the team and others actively in touch for future positions, the initiative has proven an invaluable platform for young graduates seeking a career in motor racing, giving them unique, privileged access to the high-performance, cutting-edge engineering environment of a top Formula One team.
Robin Tuluie, Head of R&D at the ING Renault F1 Team, is quick to highlight the benefits of the programme: "The competition intrinsically attracts a broad range of young engineers with a passion for our disciplines who are not intimidated by the complexity of our environment and the commitments we require. Their support in these four years has been technically valuable to the team and, for my department, a rewarding human experience.”
