Space Sector Contracts

Are you ready to make a direct impact on the future performance of a world-class Formula 1 team? As aThermal Performance Engineer, you’ll join an innovative and dynamic group of specialists striving to push the limits of thermal efficiency and car performance. Working collaboratively across departments—including Aerodynamics, Vehicle Performance, Engine Systems, and Race Engineering—you’ll play a vital role in achieving our goal of consistently being a top-three team in the FIA Constructor’s Championship.


About the Role

As part of this role, you will:

  • Investigate performance limitations and opportunities through defining track, dyno, rig and simulation tests and highlight the findings in high-standard reports
  • Refine and develop our simulation models in Python, MATLAB and Modelica to capture current car physics and create new sim capabilities to test novel ideas for existing and future F1 cars
  • Leverage our simulation stack to help define future global performance targets and optimums
  • Optimise the vehicle thermal performance to the specific needs of each track through event prediction, support and correlation
  • Nurture and grow collaborations across departments and with our works PU manufacturer and contribute to global car performance generation
  • To chair, attend and proactively participate in meetings as required
  • To work proactively, responsibly and professionally at all times and to respect and comply with the company’s reporting structure
  • Any other duties as reasonably requested aligned to your job role


What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will combine technical expertise with a collaborative and proactive mindset. You’ll need:

  • Strong academic groundingin Physics, Thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics, with a proven ability to model these in simulation environments.
  • Software skillsin Python, MATLAB, or Modelica, with a passion for refining and innovating simulation capabilities.
  • Problem-solving capabilityacross diverse technical challenges, along with the ability to interpret and leverage large datasets to extract trends.
  • Strong interpersonal skillsto build effective working relationships across departments and confidently contribute under pressure.
  • Aresults-driven attitude, with confidence in decision-making and adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Experience in high-level motorsport—preferred but not essential — experience within Formula 1 and/or as a Performance Engineer.


Embark on a journey with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team to reshape history at our cutting-edge, sustainable campus in Northamptonshire. Combining our rich heritage with innovation, we bring fresh energy to the sport, driven by a commitment to challenge the status quo and dominate the track.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
