ING Renault F1 Team Launches Fourth Altran Engineering Academy
For the fourth year running the ING Renault F1 Team and Altran
are pleased to announce the Altran Engineering Academy.
The team will open its doors to one winning candidate, who
will gain the opportunity to work on a 6-month placement with
the ING 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 1 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."
The previous three editions of the Altran Engineering Academy
have been a resounding success and thousands of people visited
the official competition website and hundreds of registrations
were received from candidates in more than twenty countries.
Candidates can register on the official website of the competition:

Altran - ING Renault F1 Team technological partnership
How do we respond to changes in engine regulations; how do
we improve the car's aerodynamic performance? High-level expertise
is required in many different fields to design and develop
a front-line Formula 1 chassis-engine package. Altran has
been supporting the Renault F1 Team since 2002, providing
talented engineers in a variety of specialities, including
computation, information technology, electronics, logistics
and quality control. They contribute their skills to chassis
development in Enstone, UK, and to engine design in Viry-Châtillon,
near Paris. The Altran experts are driven not only by the
human and sporting adventure, but also by the technological
challenge offered by the highly-competitive and rewarding
F1 environment.
