Enhance understanding of tyre performance through the development of tyre models, analytical methods & analysis of physical data.
What you will do
* Create, maintain and develop a variety of empirical, thermal and physical tyre models for use in offline and DIL simulations.
* Develop analytical methods to interpret real tyre data and use this to predict conditions and procedures for optimum tyre performance.
* Evaluate and optimise tyre utilisation during track tests and race events to ensure maximum overall performance of cars during qualifying and races. This is primarily a factory-based role, however weekend event support in the remote Ops room will be required along with some travel to specific events or tests.

* Contribute towards wider Performance group activities across Race Engineering, Strategy, Controls & Vehicle Science
