There’s huge scope and variety. You’ll potentially be looking every aspect of data: how it’s stored, transported and accessed; what are the most effective software and hardware options…
You’ll delve into diverse areas including computational fluid dynamics, track data, tyre thermal modelling, and suspension performance.
You’ll be working under the guidance of the Data Science Team Leader and collaborating with a brilliant group of people, each with fresh perspectives to bring to the table. It’s a friendly and collaborative environment where you can really broaden your career.
