United Autosports – McLaren Hypercar Programme
Full-time | Hybrid & systems performance role | Global travel
If you’re an engineer with deep expertise in hybrid systems, control logic, performance algorithms and data interpretation — this is one of the most influential technical roles in our Hypercar Programme.
About the Role
As a Performance Controls Engineer, you’ll be responsible for optimising the hybrid systems, control strategies, deployment, recovery behaviour and software-driven performance parameters of the Hypercar.
You’ll work at the intersection of data, systems, software and performance — shaping how the car behaves dynamically and ensuring the hybrid package works in harmony with the mechanical and aerodynamic platform.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Owning hybrid performance data analysis and correlation.
* Monitoring deployment, recovery, state-of-charge and hybrid efficiency during sessions.
* Working with the manufacturer on system updates, calibration and software releases.
* Supporting the Race and Performance Engineers on hybrid-influenced setup and performance decisions.
* Running hybrid tools, dashboards, modelling and live performance monitoring.
* Diagnosing hybrid behaviour anomalies and ensuring safe, compliant operation.
* Contributing to run plans, performance documents and hybrid-related debriefs.
* Supporting long-term performance strategy around energy management and consistency.
What You’ll Bring
* Strong controls, software, electronics or hybrid systems engineering background.
* Experience in hybrid or electrified motorsport environments (F1, FE, LMDh, WEC).
* Ability to interpret complex data and communicate findings clearly.
* A disciplined, calm, analytical approach under pressure.
* Understanding of the safety-critical nature of hybrid systems and HV compliance.
* A passion for extracting every advantage from software and controls.
This is where performance meets intelligence — and where the smartest engineers thrive.
