Electronics Systems Engineer

We have a new opportunity to be part of our Electronics team in the role of Electronics Systems Engineer.

As an Electronics Systems Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing and maintaining cutting-edge electronic systems across a variety of applications, including on-car systems, simulators, test rigs, and R&D projects. You will be responsible for configuring and calibrating instrumentation, logging systems, and ECUs, as well as supporting both factory-based operations and potential trackside activities.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced motorsport environment, can quickly learn new concepts, and has a deep understanding of electronic systems in Formula 1.

You will be responsible for:

• Developing electronic systems for use in on-car, HIL simulators, DIL simulators, test rigs, and R&D facilities.
• Taking ownership of processes and procedures related to electronic systems.
• Configuring, calibrating, and implementing instrumentation and logging systems across various test environments.
• Setting up and managing ECUs, data loggers, and sensors for testing and race applications.
• Developing software tools for configuration, calibration, monitoring, analysis, and performance optimization.
• Supporting race and test events, providing expertise in electronic systems operation and troubleshooting.
• Diagnosing and resolving sensor, wiring harness, and electronic control unit faults.
• Defining electronic systems requirements for new and ongoing projects, working closely with other departments.
• Setting up and decoding CAN communications.
• Debugging issues related to embedded software using Simulink and C.
• Analysing telemetry data to assess system performance and troubleshoot issues.
• Developing on-board diagnostic software to enhance F1 car reliability and performance.

What you will need to be successful in this role:

• Degree in a relevant engineering discipline (Electronics, Mechanical, Automotive, Mechatronics).
• Strong mathematical and analytical skills, with a solid understanding of electronic theory.
• Experience with instrumentation, sensors, and data loggers.
• Proficiency in Mathworks tools (MATLAB, Simulink).
• Knowledge of high-speed data acquisition and analysis systems.
• Understanding of automotive and motorsport communication protocols (CAN, ARCNET, Ethernet, etc.).
• Experience using CAN diagnostic tools (PCAN, CANalyzer, etc.).
• Familiarity with McLaren Applied Technologies tools (System Monitor, ATLAS).
• Programming skills in C, C#, .Net are desirable.
• Experience with software engineering in C# is highly advantageous.
• Ability to use a data-driven approach to problem-solving.
• A flexible and team-oriented attitude in a dynamic motorsport environment.
• Prior F1 or high-level motorsport electronics experience is a strong advantage.
• A passion for Formula 1 and the ambition to work at the highest level of motorsport.

This is a full-time office-based role based at our campus in Silverstone, with additional requirement to travel to other locations for track tests where necessary.
