Our ideal candidate will have:

A solid understanding of race car vehicle dynamics and a passion for optimising on track performance.

Have experience analysing aerodynamic performance and correlation data.

Familiarity with scientific coding languages and able to develop your own data analysis tools.

The ability to present complex analysis in a concise manner that brings the data to life.
