Job description

We are currently looking to recruit a motivated and skilled Data Processing Software Engineer to join our world-class Vehicle Engineering team.

In this factory-based role, the successful candidate will contribute to the development of bespoke software applications used during race events to analyze car telemetry data in real time, providing high-quality data vital for vehicle performance analysis. Projects may vary in application and programming languages, including MATLAB, C#, .NET libraries, ECU code, hardware/databases interfacing, and automated sensor data sanitization algorithms.

The successful candidate should be proficient in MATLAB, Simulink, or C#, with a strong background in programming and software engineering demonstrated through previous roles, projects, or placements.

As a Data Processing Software Engineer, you will:

1. Run and monitor data processing software using live telemetry.
2. Support our race team from Mission Control in Grove on a rotational basis and respond quickly to sensor or data issues on track.
3. Continuously seek opportunities for improvement or automation.
4. Develop your software engineering skills with team support.

1. Collaborate with other departments to capture data requirements, aiding design or performance analysis, and gather feedback for continuous development.

Our ideal candidate is someone who is:

• Degree-qualified in a STEM field involving software development, such as Computer Science, Maths, Physics, or Engineering.
• Able to debug software under pressure.
• Comfortable using Git source control and writing clear documentation.
• A team player with an open-minded, responsible, and constructive attitude.
• Well-organized with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines.

Additional experience may include:

• Advanced programming techniques like parallelization, object-oriented programming, profiling, or GUI design.
• Other software and systems such as Python, SQL, or streaming services.
• Experience with McLaren Applied Technologies products like ATLAS, vTAG, or ATLAS Data Server.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques such as frequency analysis, outlier detection, or predictive modeling.
• Experience with electronic sensors, control systems, or ECUs/microcontrollers.
