• Configure, calibrate, and deploy instrumentation, sensors, ECUs, and data loggers for race, test, and R&D activities.
• Own and refine processes and procedures for electronic systems installation, configuration, and validation.
• Perform fault identification and diagnosis on sensors, wiring harnesses, control units, and data systems.
• Develop on‑board diagnostic software and analyse telemetry data to monitor system performance and resolve issues.
• Lead sign‑off testing for on‑car systems and assemblies, ensuring reliability and compliance with requirements.
• Develop custom electronics, controllers, and supporting installations to meet evolving project needs.
• Provide factory, and where required, trackside support for the operation of electronic systems at race and test events.
• Work collaboratively with project owners across the business to define and deliver electronic system requirements.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Degree in Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar discipline with strong electronics focus.
• Excellent knowledge of electronics, installations, instrumentation, sensors, and data logging systems.
• Experience with motorsport ECUs, data loggers, and interfaces – ideally SECU/Motion Applied.
• Strong understanding of automotive/motorsport communication systems, wiring, and circuit diagrams.
• Proficiency with tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Zuken, P‑CAN, C++, or comparable electronics/control software.
• Able to work calmly under pressure, make confident decisions, and deliver results to tight timescales.
• Self‑motivated, adaptable, and effective at building strong working relationships across teams.
• Demonstrated commitment to Health & Safety and willingness to travel in the UK and internationally.
