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

Rural-Remote Space Jobs: Reaching for the Stars Beyond City Limits

A Fresh Horizon for UK Space Professionals When most people think of space industry jobs, their minds drift to launch pads in Florida, sophisticated mission controls at NASA, or even satellite facilities in the heart of London. However, the space sector is increasingly decentralised and offers abundant opportunities across the UK—well beyond the capital. At UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a surge in vacancies that allow for rural or coastal living, prompting jobseekers to search for “space jobs in the countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” A variety of factors—rising remote work, cloud-based engineering tools, and demand for diverse local test sites—are fuelling this movement. Britain’s beautiful rural and seaside regions no longer represent peripheral backwaters for the space sector. Instead, they host emerging launch sites, small satellite enterprises, research hubs, and remote teams that keep pace with the nation’s growing ambitions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), deep-space missions, and Earth observation technologies. If you’re a satellite engineer, an astro-data analyst, or a space project manager craving fresh air and lower living costs, this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore how rural-remote space roles are exploding in popularity, the specific benefits (and potential hurdles) of working outside major cities, and the practical steps you can take to launch your space career amidst rolling hills or ocean vistas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Space—Propelling the Next Frontier of Exploration

Space exploration has long been a showcase of human ingenuity—launching satellites that enable global connectivity, sending probes to other planets, and even eyeing the possibility of interplanetary travel. Yet, as missions become more complex—think long-duration travel, real-time data analysis from distant probes, and advanced Earth observation—traditional computing methods can struggle to handle the colossal volumes of data and the intricate physics involved. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has helped automate some decision-making (like autonomous rovers on Mars), but the tasks ahead—such as on-orbit servicing, space debris management, or deep-space exploration—demand a new tier of computational capability. Enter quantum computing, a revolutionary technology that harnesses phenomena like superposition and entanglement to perform certain computations at speeds unimaginable on classical hardware. By merging quantum hardware with AI—often termed quantum-enhanced AI—the space sector stands to overcome limitations in orbital mechanics, big-data analytics, and complex resource optimisation. From more efficient satellite constellations to cutting-edge astrophysical research, this synergy could herald a new era of space exploration and commercial ventures. In this article, we will: Survey the current challenges in space-based missions, from planning and operations to data processing. Demystify quantum computing—how qubits differ from bits and why quantum algorithms can outperform classical ones in specific contexts. Examine how quantum-enhanced AI can transform various space applications, such as satellite fleets, deep-space comms, Earth observation, and more. Identify the main roadblocks (hardware maturity, data transfer) and how the industry might address them. Highlight new career pathways, skills, and roles emerging at the crossroads of space technology, AI, and quantum computing—particularly in the UK. Whether you’re a satellite engineer, astrophysicist, data scientist, or a space enthusiast curious about where technology is heading, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may become the linchpin for the next wave of advances in space exploration, driving more efficient missions, groundbreaking research, and a thriving job market.
