Senior Tyre Performance Engineer

Take a leading role in tyre performance engineering within a high-level Formula E manufacturer programme. You will manage and mentor a team of four engineers while driving tyre performance analysis, thermal modelling, and technical coordination. Operating from a remote engineering support room, you will work closely with trackside teams to deliver informed recommendations throughout race events, testing, and development programmes. Your expertise will help optimise tyre behaviour, improve performance, and support critical setup and strategy decisions. Working alongside specialists in vehicle dynamics, simulation, race engineering, and strategy, you will contribute directly to competitive outcomes. This hybrid position combines technical leadership and analytical work with regular travel to race tracks and international motorsport environments.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Motorsport Engineering, or an equivalent discipline.

• At least five years of relevant experience in tyre performance, tyre modelling, or vehicle dynamics within professional motorsport.

• Strong understanding of tyre thermodynamics, thermal behaviour, and performance modelling.

• Proven experience developing, validating, or correlating tyre models.

• Previous experience leading, mentoring, or coordinating engineers within a technical team.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex tyre data and turn findings into practical engineering recommendations.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering and trackside teams.

• Based in Europe and available for a hybrid working arrangement with regular travel to race tracks.
