2.62 seconds. That’s how long it takes to service an entire F1 racing car at a pit stop.

2 weeks. That’s how quickly your contributions can make a visible impact on the track.

Join one of the world’s leading Formula 1 teams, where every role plays a pivotal part in enhancing car performance and speed. Here, the collective effort truly outpaces the sum of its parts.

The Role?

As the Software Engineering Manager in this fast-paced Formula 1 team, you and your team will face the constant challenge of rapid turnaround times. The ever-evolving F1 racing technology demands quick adaptation and the ability to deliver high-quality software solutions under tight deadlines.

You’ll lead the Aerodynamics Software Group responsible for developing software tools and applications to streamline and enhance the entire aerodynamic development process, including planning, production, data capture, analysis, and presentation.

This role presents a unique opportunity to lead and grow a software engineering team in the highly competitive world of F1. Your work will directly influence both the department and the broader racing team, providing essential tools that will shape the team’s success

• Leadership & Technical Involvement: Lead a team of seven, staying closely involved with technology to guide architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and ensure best practices. While not primarily coding, you will lead by example, fostering technical excellence and strategic execution.

• Team Growth: The ASG team plays a crucial role in supporting wind tunnel operations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) efforts. As the team grows, you will be responsible for recruiting new talent and expanding the department to meet future demands.

Your Profile?

• Degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• While now focused on technical leadership, you should have a strong technical foundation to guide the team effectively. The technology stack is Microsoft-based using C#, .NET Framework, SQL Server, ASP.NET, JavaScript/TypeScript).

• Proven track record of managing and leading software development teams, particularly in fast-paced and high-pressure environments.

• Strong understanding of modern software development methodologies, including source control, work item tracking, change management, automated testing, and release processes.

• Experience or knowledge in Computational Fluid Dynamics or Wind Tunnel Testing is highly desirable, though training can be provided for the right candidate.

• Experience in Motorsport or F1 is an advantage but not essential. Relevant experience in other engineering-heavy industries like Automotive, Aerospace, or Aviation is also valuable.

• Ability to remain calm under pressure and troubleshoot problems quickly and logically.

• Comfortable working within tight deadlines.

• Strong problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail.
