• Support internal and external teams using these tools to develop control software for high-performance vehicles.
• Develop and maintain SIL simulation environments.
• Lead software testing, issue tracking, and release processes.
• Create clear, user-friendly technical documentation and guides.

 
Required Skills & Experience

• Expert knowledge of MATLAB programming and Simulink control algorithm modelling.
• Skilled in MATLAB/Simulink code generation customisation (e.g., TLC).
• Strong understanding of C/C++, compilers, and build toolchains, particularly for ARM targets.
• Experience with real-time control systems and RTOS.
• Familiarity with software version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Degree in Engineering, Electronics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or another highly quantitative field, or equivalent experience.

Desirable Skills

• Motorsport or automotive control systems and electronics experience.
• Knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet).
• Experience with SIL and HIL testing tools.
• Familiarity with continuous integration tools (e.g., Jenkins).
• Understanding of MATLAB unit testing frameworks.
• Interest in embedded microprocessors.
