From its 1997 inception, Radical set out to create a customer-led niche in the world of motorsport, a race-bred thrill-a-minute driving experience. But the Radical philosophy extends much wider than just the cars. By launching our own race championships, we became the first manufacturer to bring long-format, doubleheader endurance racing to the club racer, and provided a comprehensive spares and technical support team at every event that continues to this day. At our Peterborough manufacturing HQ, we produce over 150 cars per year, exported to a global network of over 30 dealers. This is where we see our cars from start to finish before they hit the track -from our team of engineers who design and test new concepts, to the production teams who machine, fabricate, laminate, engine build, sub-assembly, bay assembly, and dyno sign off every Radical car produced. Job Description: As a Development Engineer at Radical Motorsport, you will have the opportunity to develop the current and next generation of Sports cars for the world’s biggest purpose-built race car manufacturer.
