About the role
Before an F1 car arrives at the track it has already completed thousands of virtual laps on the dyno. Simulating the extreme conditions of racing, every component driven at the limit. Before a racing driver fastens their belts they have already spent hours in motion. Immersed in a meticulous simulation of car and circuit. Every aspect of car and driver performance probed and analysed. Behind the scenes are incredible machines built by talented engineers. Could one of them be you?
As part of this graduate scheme, you will work on exciting projects and be able to immerse yourself into the learning and experiences of a truly high-performing team.
Using a creative, analytical approach alongside detailed design work, you will support senior engineers with large projects as well as projects of your own. Supported and mentored by experienced engineers, you will develop your skills and knowledge, connecting the theory you have learnt into practice.
As a Graduate Controls Systems Engineer your responsibilities will include
- Use MATLAB and Simulink to develop the real-time software needed to make our machines work
- Help the operational teams with documentation, diagnostics, and hands-on support
- Improve our performance development capability with new functionality, tools and simulations
- Make work better by automating repetitive tasks and manual testing
- Apply our cutting edge technology and innovation to exciting new projects outside of F1
This position is perfect for someone who
- Has a degree in a mathematical or engineering subject
- Is passionate about control systems and model based design
- Likes to solve tough technical challenges using data
- Enjoys programming and software development
- Wants to learn and grow in a fast-paced and rewarding environment
