Matthew Welch

• Trimming/Bonding of composite components from technical drawings.
• Assembly of panel sets for GT off road and heritage cars.
• Assembly composite materials on patterns and moulds for car parts.
• Enhanced product integrity by paying keen attention to details during assembly process.
• Liaise with engineers on technical updates.
• Maintain equipment and filtration areas.

My main role within car build group was to make sure all sensor / pressure tapping configurations are working correctly for each aerodynamic car part producing reports for each item for correlation purpose and real time data collection on each race car including coding of various sensors which are used on each car. This involves close relationships with -

• Aero performance group.
• Trackside aero.
• Wind tunnel and electronics.

I built aerodynamic rake department which also requires above relationships. Being part of car build group working between events to check each component needed for next race while working with inspection, electronics etc was ready.

• To build and assemble all pressure tapping installation's,
  ensure all aero sensors are fully operational and installed to optimise results.
• Provide end to end support for the race team to ensure all aero assemblies are available on time as design intention.
• Assisting the composites build group in preparing all composite parts pre and post event.
• Utilised specialist tools to assemble parts of machinery diligently.
• Facilitated smoother project execution by effectively liaising with engineers and other technicians.
• Trained junior staff on operational procedures and safety protocols, fostered skill development.
• Increased efficiency by maintaining and repairing complex technical equipment.

• The main responsibility was to oversee and build highest quality repeatable aerodynamic rake instruments which gave consistent results with correlation to wind tunnel and CFD. Specialised aero part testing in the wind tunnel to get individual data / offsets to help aerodynamic performance group with base settings for future races.

Producing high quality composites components for the model shop to be used on the wind tunnel model.

• Producing composite wind tunnel parts to be used with the aero development in the wind tunnel . Full size testing experience in a pit lane environment.
• Utilised specialist tools to assemble parts of machinery diligently.

• Producing composite parts to be used within the wind tunnel. Forming close working relationships with the design team to efficiently hit deadlines.

• The role within this team was model maker / composite technician with also wind tunnel operating and full size test team duties .
• Collaborated with designers to understand their vision, transforming their conceptual designs into tangible 3D models.
• Delivered high-quality model prototypes by utilising traditional and digital design techniques.

• The role within this company was to die cut specialised component for the automotive and aerospace industry.

• The role was to produce aircraft components for aerospace industry.
