Electronics Systems Engineer – Motorsport | High-Performance Engineering We’re supporting an elite motorsport team in their search for a talented Electronics Systems Engineer to join their world-class engineering department. This is a highly varied and hands-on role that offers the opportunity to work across a wide range of departments and projects – from race car systems and simulators to rig testing and diagnostics.

Whether you're configuring new instrumentation for the next Grand Prix, developing diagnostic software, or integrating a next-gen ECU into a driver-in-loop simulator, this position will challenge and grow your skills in a fast-paced and cutting-edge environment.

Key Responsibilities
Develop and support electronic systems for race cars, simulators (HIL/DIL), test rigs, and R&D facilities.

Own and evolve internal processes and procedures related to electronics systems.

Configure and calibrate instrumentation, data logging, and ECU systems across test and race environments.

Build internal tools for configuration, calibration, data monitoring, and optimisation.

Provide trackside and factory support for testing and race events when needed.

Diagnose faults across sensors, wiring harnesses, ECUs, and embedded systems.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and meet system requirements.

Set up and decode CAN, ARCNET, and Ethernet communications.

Investigate and debug embedded software in Simulink and C.

Analyse telemetry data to assess system health and pinpoint issues.

Develop onboard diagnostic software to support real-time performance and reliability.

What We’re Looking For
A degree in Electronics, Automotive, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or a related field.

Strong foundation in electronic systems theory and data-driven analysis.

Deep understanding of instrumentation, sensors, data loggers, and related hardware.

Experience using McLaren Applied tools such as ATLAS and System Monitor.

Proficiency with Matlab, Simulink, and embedded software debugging.

Familiarity with CAN diagnostic tools (e.g., PCAN, CANalyzer).

Working knowledge of data acquisition and analysis systems in high-speed environments.

Programming experience in C, C#, or .NET is highly desirable.

Flexible, collaborative mindset with the ability to adapt in high-pressure motorsport settings.

Experience in Formula 1 or top-tier motorsport environments is a strong advantage.

A genuine passion for racing and desire to contribute to world-class performance.

Why Apply? This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to an innovative and driven motorsport organisation working at the cutting edge of automotive technology. You'll be surrounded by passionate engineers and have a direct impact on race car performance and reliability.

If you're ready to work at the highest level of motorsport and push your electronics engineering career to new heights – we want to hear from you.

Apply now and take the next step in your journey toward the pinnacle of motorsport engineering

How to Write a Space Industry Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

The UK space sector is growing rapidly. From satellite manufacturing and launch services to Earth observation, space data, communications and downstream applications, organisations across the UK are hiring engineers, scientists, software specialists and operations professionals to support increasingly complex space missions. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Space industry job adverts often receive very few applications, or attract candidates whose experience does not align with the realities of space programmes. At the same time, experienced space professionals frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, over-ambitious or disconnected from how space projects actually operate. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Space professionals are systems-focused, risk-aware and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak programme maturity and unrealistic expectations. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, technical seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a space industry job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the UK space sector.

Maths for Space Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

UK space careers can look intimidating from the outside. Job adverts mention “systems engineering” “mission assurance” “GN&C” “RF” “payloads” “flight dynamics” “verification” “ECSS” & suddenly you’re wondering if you need a maths degree just to apply. You don’t. For most UK space jobs, the maths you actually use clusters into a handful of practical topics that map directly to real work across satellites, launch, ground segment, downstream data, mission ops & space software. This article strips it down to what matters most for job readiness plus a 6-week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can use immediately. UK space is also actively focused on growth & skills. The government’s National Space Strategy sets ambitions to grow the UK’s space ecosystem & spread employment across the UK. The Space Sector Skills Survey 2023 highlights recruitment challenges plus the importance of new skills & technologies including AI & ML. Recent industry reporting also estimates UK space industry employment at 55,550 FTEs plus wider supply-chain jobs. So learning the right maths is not an academic exercise. It’s a practical way to widen the roles you can credibly target.

Neurodiversity in UK Space Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The UK space sector has quietly become one of the most exciting places to build a career. From small satellites & launch services to Earth observation, navigation, in-orbit servicing & space data startups, the industry needs people who can solve hard problems in smart ways. Those people are not all “typical” engineers or scientists – and that’s a strength, not a weakness. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for precision work in the space sector. In reality, many of the traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be major assets in space engineering, mission operations & space data roles. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring UK space careers. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a space industry context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common space roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the UK space sector – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
