Data Analyst Extraordinaire: Analyze data and write algorithms to assess control system performance and reliability. Identify areas for improvement and contribute to developing even more robust systems.
Communication is key: You'll be expected to generate clear and concise reports, keeping everyone informed about potential issues and improvements.
Do you have what it takes to join the team?
Technically gifted: We're looking for someone with a strong academic background in engineering (Control Systems, Mechanical, Electronic, etc.) or a relevant STEM subject (Mathematics, Physics).
Engineering problem-solver: You can apply engineering principles to solve complex challenges across different areas like electronics, mechanics, and hydraulics.
Control systems guru: A practical understanding of control systems and their implementation is a must.
Team player with a hunger to learn: You're self-motivated, proactive, and eager to develop your skills by tackling real-world engineering problems.
Communication whiz: You can express yourself clearly and work effectively under pressure with tight deadlines.
Bonus points if you have:
Experience with control system programming (Matlab/Simulink): We speak fluent engineering code here.
Data analysis skills (Matlab, Python): Turning data into insights is crucial.
Motorsport enthusiast: Your passion for F1 will fuel your dedication!
Experience in these areas: HIL testing, driver simulators, mathematical modelling, sensor fusion, software development, communication protocols, electro-hydraulic actuator control, or machine learning – these are all pluses!
The Perks of Pit Lane:
