Data and Systems Engineer

Grove Racing is seeking a workshop-based Data & Systems Engineer to support our engineering team across the preparation, configuration and management of our race engineering systems.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on ensuring our data, electronics, communications and engineering systems are correctly configured, tested and ready for use.

Our engineering team will determine the technical requirements and direction, with this role responsible for executing those requirements accurately and consistently.

Working closely with our engineering team, responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and maintaining MoTeC i2 projects, workspaces, maths and configurations

• Preparing and configuring VBOX systems and equipment

• Managing software, firmware and configuration versions across engineering systems

• Programming and configuring team radios and communications equipment

• Programming, configuring and conditioning sensors and electronic components

• Bench testing sensors, electronics and other components prior to installation

• Maintaining calibration records and configuration information

• Preparing and configuring data acquisition and logging equipment

• Managing engineering laptops, software installations and system configurations

• Downloading, organising and managing vehicle and test data

• Assisting with CAN, telemetry and other vehicle data systems

• Electrical and electronic fault finding

• Producing 3D CAD models and technical drawings using Autodesk Inventor

• Managing engineering drawings, models and revision control through Autodesk Vault

• Operating 3D printers where required for prototypes and engineering parts

• Inspecting and testing components against engineering requirements

• Maintaining technical documentation and configuration records

• Preparing systems and equipment for race events, testing and workshop use

• Supporting engineers with general technical and systems-based tasks

The ideal candidate will have practical experience or a strong technical understanding across several of the following:

• MoTeC i2

• VBOX systems

• Motorsport or automotive data acquisition

• Sensors and instrumentation

• Radio and communications systems

• Electronics and electrical testing

• CAN systems and vehicle networks

• Autodesk Inventor and Vault

• 3D modelling and technical drawing

• 3D printing

• Computer hardware, software and networking

• Configuration and version management

Experience with automotive electrical wiring, wiring looms, connectors and associated fault finding would be highly advantageous.

Previous motorsport experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.

This position could suit someone from motorsport, automotive electronics, mechatronics, instrumentation, electronics, Formula Student or another technical environment who wants to build a career within professional motorsport.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has excellent attention to detail

• Is technically minded and comfortable working with both hardware and software

• Can accurately follow engineering instructions and processes

• Is methodical when configuring and testing equipment

• Understands the importance of configuration control and traceability

• Takes pride in making sure equipment is prepared correctly the first time

• Is comfortable performing repetitive technical tasks where accuracy is critical

• Can troubleshoot technical problems and escalate when required

• Is organised and able to manage multiple preparation tasks

• Is keen to learn and develop within a professional engineering environment

This role provides the opportunity to work directly with our engineering team and develop broad experience across the data, electronics, communications and technical systems that support an industry-benchmark race team.
