Tyre Performance Engineer

Tyre Performance Engineer Our Formula E client has an opportunity for a Tyre Performance Engineer to join their team within a rapidly expanding and exciting work environment. About the Role Create, maintain and develop a variety of empirical, thermal and physical tyre models for use in offline and DIL simulations. Develop analytical methods to interpret real tyre data and use this to predict conditions and procedures for optimum tyre performance. Evaluate and optimise tyre utilisation during track tests and race events to ensure maximum overall performance of cars during qualifying and races. This is primarily a factory-based role, however weekend event support in the remote Ops room will be required along with some travel to specific events or tests. Formulation of the pre-event tyre report with recommendations for tyre preparation and usage during race/test events. Contribute towards tyre group post-event reports with appropriate analysis and comment. Contribute towards wider Performance group activities across Race Engineering, Strategy, Controls & Vehicle Science About you Strong degree in an Engineering or Mathematical subject Tyre modelling experience is desirable. Knowledge of higher fidelity thermal, physical and structural models would be a distinct advantage. Previous tyre engineering experience in FE, WEC, F1 or other professional series would be desirable, although graduates with relevant study experience would also be considered. Proficiency and interest in computational methods and numerical analysis Proficient with programming and analysis languages e.g. Matlab, Python, JavaScipt C++, C, & C# Experience in tyre indoor and outdoor testing (planning, execution, data analysis) would be an advantage. Self-motivated problem solver with a Can do attitude and high levels of initiative. Enquiring mindset and creative thinker, with high levels of pride and accuracy in their work. Calm & confident communicator with the ability to communicate complex information clearly, sometimes within a high-pressure / time-sensitive environment. Event support could require working long hours over weekends.
