Aero model designer / model maker
Designing and making the 60 percent scale car that goes in the wind tunnel, faster than the real one changes.

Who comes into this from somewhere else
Ranked by how much of the job carries over. Our judgement, not a measurement, and it is here to tell you where to start looking.
From Aerospace & defence
Designing an instrumented scale model that survives the tunnel and changes overnight is the job exactly.
Nothing standing in the wayFrom Automotive (volume)
Rapid, one-off design for a physical model built by hand and machine. The tunnel adds instrumentation and pace.
What you would need to add
Surface modelling for complex curved bodywork. The reason aero parts are drawn in it rather than a general-purpose CAD package.
From Architecture & model making
Precision model making to a drawing, in composites, resin and machined parts. Engineering CAD and tolerancing are the gap.
What you would need to add
Surface modelling for complex curved bodywork. The reason aero parts are drawn in it rather than a general-purpose CAD package.
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. How a drawing states what actually has to be accurate, and by how much.
