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. ## Description 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. ## Related Videos - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Build Delightful Mobile Experiences with Kotlin, Realm, and Atlas Device Sync](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/694-build-delightful-mobile-experiences-with-kotlin-realm-and-atlas-device-sync) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
