At McLaren, our mission is to set the standard for high performance in sport. Everyone, in every part of the team, has a role to play. So if you want to test your ideas with the world watching... And measure your progress in milliseconds... And play your part in racing history... You belong here. High performance starts with you.
Purpose of the Role:
The purpose of this role is to provide world class web user experiences to end-users of racing software in McLaren F1. As a senior member of the development team, you will deliver next generation user experiences for software applications in the racing, simulation, and analysis domains, and mentor other members of staff who are delivering web applications. You will work closely with Product Management to design the right workflows and usability to make our software intuitive, powerful, and cohesive through reusable components and application integration.
Role Dimensions:
The McLaren F1 Performance Software & Data Science group is responsible for the analysis, design, and delivery of bespoke and third-party software tools and methodologies which help improve racing performance. This starts with aerodynamicists creating designs and testing them with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and our Wind Tunnel, which requires powerful data acquisition, processing, and analysis. Vehicle dynacists simulate and optimise car setup, and Race Engineers and Strategists use our software for operational decision-making. We are a cross-functional group, bringing together data science, machine learning, software engineering, and DevOps to deliver performance focussed platforms and solutions.
As a Senior Specialist Front End/UX Engineer, your role will combine elements of technical leadership, agile/lean project delivery, and close engagement with end-users and stakeholders. You’ll be involved in all stages of the development life cycle, from initial analysis through to deployment, monitoring, and iterative refinement. You will partner with Product Managers to design the best workflows and look and feel that enable different personas to be effective: from mechanics working in a fast paced garage environment through to dynamics performing complex analysis and data sharing.
