Job summary

Formula 1 is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to deliver bespoke solutions supporting timing, televising and organisation of F1 events. You will own hardware components from concept to deployment and lead cross-functional engineering activities.

You will design analogue, digital and power circuitry, review PCB layouts, mentor juniors, and drive robust, high‑reliability systems while collaborating with software, mechanical and other disciplines in a fast-paced, high‑profile environment.

Qualifications

• Educated to degree level in electronics engineering (or suitable equivalent).
• 5 years proven experience in electronics hardware design and development, with a focus on high-performance, high-reliability systems from requirements through to testing.
• Debugging and supporting hardware during system integration.
• Desirable experience in broadcast or automotive (motorsport).

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of complex electronic hardware solutions from requirements and architecture through design, verification, manufacture, integration and deployment.
• Lead electronics design activity on assigned projects, translating system needs into robust hardware requirements and solutions that meet performance, reliability, safety and operational needs.
• Make and justify key technical decisions and design trade-offs, considering performance, reliability, manufacturability, testability, lifecycle, component availability and technical risk.
• Design and review analogue, digital, power and mixed-signal circuitry, including schematic capture and PCB layout, with appropriate EMC, signal-integrity and power-integrity consideration.
• Provide technical leadership through design and peer reviews, ensuring engineering decisions are appropriately analysed, challenged, documented and verified.
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, verification and system integration, collaborating with embedded software, mechanical, systems and other engineering disciplines to resolve complex issues.
• Own the verification approach for assigned hardware, defining test strategies, plans, procedures and acceptance criteria, and ensuring objective evidence demonstrates requirements compliance.
• Identify, assess and communicate technical risks, providing clear recommendations and escalating significant issues to project and engineering stakeholders where appropriate.
• Provide technical direction to PCB fabrication, assembly and external engineering suppliers, resolving manufacturing, quality and production issues.
• Mentor engineers and technicians, lead root-cause investigations, produce high-quality engineering documentation, and drive continuous improvement of electronics standards, tools and practices.
