Job description
If you're an engineer with deep expertise in hybrid systems, control logic, performance algorithms and data interpretation - this is one of the most influential technical roles in our Hypercar Programme., As a Performance Controls Engineer, you'll be responsible for optimising the hybrid systems, control strategies, deployment, recovery behaviour and software-driven performance parameters of the Hypercar.
You'll work at the intersection of data, systems, software and performance - shaping how the car behaves dynamically and ensuring the hybrid package works in harmony with the mechanical and aerodynamic platform.
What You'll Be Doing * Owning hybrid performance data analysis and correlation. * Monitoring deployment, recovery, state-of-charge and hybrid efficiency during sessions. * Working with the manufacturer on system updates, calibration and software releases. * Supporting the Race and Performance Engineers on hybrid-influenced setup and performance decisions. * Running hybrid tools, dashboards, modelling and live performance monitoring. * Diagnosing hybrid behaviour anomalies and ensuring safe, compliant operation. * Contributing to run plans, performance documents and hybrid-related debriefs. * Supporting long-term performance strategy around energy management and consistency.
Requirements
Strong controls, software, electronics or hybrid systems engineering background. * Experience in hybrid or electrified motorsport environments (F1, FE, LMDh, WEC). * Ability to interpret complex data and communicate findings clearly. * A disciplined, calm, analytical approach under pressure. * Understanding of the safety-critical nature of hybrid systems and HV compliance. * A passion for extracting every advantage from software and controls. xhkmmrq
