Filipo Tamassia

This experience started with a two-month internship as part of the course, followed by hiring for race weekends while I was still studying. My tasks here were very varied, mainly working on the cars (Lamborghini Huracan GT3 and Huracan Supertrofeo). I did repairs as well as dismounting and reassembling them. I also made the setups and pit crew activity. Here, I gained a lot of manual skill and flexibility, both in working shifts and traveling. This job involved a lot of responsibilities and under-stress work.

Most of my job was working alongside engineers to set up and run validation tests. These tests could span a wide range and included mechanical resistance tests (traction, resilience, impact), wear and tear (both mechanical and chemical), extreme weather simulations, and a lot of customized tests. The company also owns a racecar, which competes in the EuroNASCAR championship. I used to be a mechanic for the team and was in charge of maintaining the car.

I worked here as part of my course. My job was to test the production engines on the bench. This included mounting the engines on the bench and then trying them through a specific cycle, finding possible problems, and establishing in the end whether or not the engine was compliant with the required specs.

I worked part-time for the family company. I used to do mountings of furniture and be the porter for movings.
