- Measure, fit, and verify all critical engine components (bearings, pistons, valves, cams, crankshaft, etc.) using precision instruments.

- Maintain accurate build records and traceability documentation (torque logs, clearances, serial numbers, parts usage, etc.).

- Disassemble and inspect engines post-event or post-dyno for wear, damage, and component life tracking.

- Collaborate with design, development, and dyno teams to support continuous performance and reliability improvements.

- Identify and report potential assembly or quality issues, contributing to root cause analyses and countermeasures.

- Ensure cleanliness and organization of the build area in accordance with motorsport standards.

- Support dyno and test operations (installation, pre-start checks, post-test inspections).

- Occasionally travel to test or race events to provide engine support (if required).

### Required Qualifications:

- Completed vocational training as an automotive or motorsport mechanic, or equivalent technical qualification.

- Minimum 5 years of experience in high-performance engine assembly, preferably in endurance racing (LMDh, LMP, GT, or F1).

- Strong knowledge of internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and associated electronics.

- Proficiency in using precision measurement tools and interpreting technical drawings.

- Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

- Willingness to travel internationally for race and test events.

### Preferred Skills:

- Comprehensive understanding of internal combustion engine architecture, tolerances, materials, and assembly techniques.

- Experience with high-precision measuring tools (micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, torque wrenches, etc.).

- Strong knowledge of component life management, wear analysis, and reliability tracking.

- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, build specifications, and assembly sheets.

- High commitment to quality, precision, and process consistency.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a small, focused team.

- Fluent in English (written and spoken); other languages are a plus.

### What We Offer:
