September 13, 2024 - Carly Bowling
A University of New Mexico alumnus sped into a new job in August as an aerodynamics design engineer with the McLaren Formula 1 team in Woking, England.
Tiger Lee, who graduated from UNM in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, has long dreamt of working in motorsports. In his position with McLaren Racing, he will be working on the wind tunnel models and CAD surface modeling of the team’s F1 race cars. With 186 grand prix wins, it isn’t only the F1 drivers racing to victory. The environment at the McLaren factory is fast-paced and new design iterations are tested every day, sometimes multiple times.
