We are a leading Formula One team with a rich history of innovation and success, with 16 FIA Formula One World Championship titles since our foundation in 1977.

The Role

We are seeking an analytical and innovative Aero Performance Engineer to join our team in the Aero department. As an Aero Performance Engineer, you will play a key role in defining and analysing tests from Track, Wind Tunnel, CFD, and driver in the loop simulation to drive forward the correlation and performance methodologies in the Aero department.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Analysis of the correlation between Wind Tunnel and track, making recommendations to improve the Wind Tunnel to reduce any differences.
  • Involved in defining and analysing driver in the loop simulations to understand how aero performance sensitivities affect lap time and how this should affect our part selection in the Wind Tunnel.
  • Involved in defining and analysing driver in the loop experiments to align aero performance and setup directions.
  • Analysis of the correlation deficiencies between CFD and track, then working with the CFD group to improve our simulation.
  • Involved in R&D projects to deliver new instrumentation capability for the department.
  • Contributing to the improvement and development of our data analysis toolset for aero performance data, collaborating with dedicated software engineers.

Requirements

  • Solid understanding of race car vehicle dynamics and a passion for optimising on track performance.
  • Experience analysing aerodynamic performance and correlation data.
  • Familiarity with scientific coding languages and the ability to develop your own data analysis tools.
  • The ability to present complex analysis in a concise manner that brings the data to life.
  • Degree in Aerodynamics, Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work with a wide range of groups and integrate seamlessly.
