Systems Engineer

We have a new opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer to join our world-class Technical team. This role sits at the heart of what we do - your work will directly shape the performance of our car both on track and at the factory. You will lead the specification and system-level design of our electrical and electronics systems across the car, dyno and simulator facilities, bridging technical complexity with real-world delivery, and ensuring our most critical systems perform when it matters most. What You’ll Be Doing Working closely with engineers across every design group, you will play a central role in shaping how our car and test rig systems are architected, integrated, and delivered. Day to day, you can expect to:

• Work with stakeholders to define and document system technical and functional requirements.
• Design the overall structure and architecture of complex car and rig systems, ensuring components integrate effectively, including the creation of topographical diagrams to document system design.
• Contribute to the integration, detail design, and testing of system elements to ensure everything functions as intended.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical challenges during testing, development, and live use, both at the factory and at the track.
• Help define testing, service, and maintenance requirements throughout the systems lifecycle.
• Complete regular analysis to improve performance, reliability, and efficiency, and to reduce cost.

We are looking for a technically strong engineer who values first-principles engineering and comes with a solutions-oriented mindset and a genuine drive to solve complex problems. You will need to be comfortable working across teams at every level of the organisation, bringing structure and clarity to a fast-moving environment. To be considered, you will ideally bring:

• Prior experience in system-level design, or hands-on design experience with relevant system components such as harnessing, sensing devices, and data loggers.
• Experience in F1, Formula E or other motorsport category.
• Proficiency in electrical CAD wiring design software.
• In-depth understanding of electrical and electronic assemblies, including MIL-spec wiring harnesses and connectors.
• Good working knowledge of data logging equipment, sensing devices, and a range of communication protocols such as CAN and Ethernet.
• Strong understanding of system architecture and integration principles.
• Experience with Raychem harness systems, Autosport connectors, and motorsport ECU systems is highly desirable.
• An organised approach with the ability to clearly prioritise tasks and deliver to agreed deadlines.
