What is motorsport data science?

Motorsport data science is the application of data analysis, statistical modeling, and computational techniques to improve performance, strategy, and safety in motorsport competitions. Data scientists in this field work with large volumes of sensor data from race cars, telemetry, weather, and track conditions to inform decisions about car setups, pit stops, tire choices, and driver performance. Their insights help teams gain a competitive edge and adapt to rapidly changing race environments. Motorsport data science requires a blend of engineering knowledge, programming skills, and strong analytical abilities.

What are some common challenges faced by motorsport data scientists when working with race data, and how can they be overcome?

Motorsport Data Scientists often encounter challenges such as managing and analyzing vast amounts of high-frequency telemetry data in real time, ensuring data accuracy under rapidly changing track conditions, and translating insights into actionable strategies for the team. Overcoming these challenges requires strong collaboration with engineers and drivers, robust data validation processes, and the ability to quickly adapt analytical models during race weekends. Building strong communication skills and familiarity with motorsport-specific tools can help data scientists provide timely, impactful insights that influence race outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a motorsport data scientist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Motorsport Data Scientist, you need a strong background in data analysis, statistics, and programming (typically Python or R), along with a degree in data science, engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with motorsport telemetry systems, data visualization tools, and machine learning frameworks is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help translate data insights into actionable strategies for race teams. These skills are crucial for optimizing performance, making real-time decisions, and gaining a competitive edge in high-pressure racing environments.

Job description


Racing is where our story began.
In 1901, Henry Ford climbed into a car he built himself "Sweepstakes" and beat America's most famous driver. He wasn't a racer, but he had to win. He did. Ford Motor Company was born from that victory.
That fighting spirit lives on in Ford Racing today. We're the engineers, strategists, and competitors who bring Ford's track-tested edge into every vehicle we build. Every track, every stage, every proving ground that's where we prove ourselves.
The result: one of the world's most iconic brands, legendary nameplates, and a team unmatched in the industry.
Our mantra: Race to win, engineer to lead.
If you're a competitor, innovator, or performance obsessive, Ford Racing is where you belong. Help us write the next chapter.
In this position...
You'll work at the intersection of battery chemistry, data, and competition turning test results into physics-based models that translate into faster lap times. If you love seeing your work make a measurable impact, this is where that happens.
You'll be part of a small, high-performing motorsports team where ownership is high, ideas are tested fast, and continuous improvement is the mission.
You'll apply your modeling expertise to Ford Racing's current battery systems, then set the direction for future methods and battery designs.
Responsibilities
What you'll do...
  • Build and refine electrochemical models using tools like MATLAB and COMSOL to drive future development and guide decisions on cell chemistry and format direction.
  • Build and refine thermal and equivalent circuit models using tools like GT-Suite and Simulink to predict how battery cells will perform under real track conditions.
  • Work with array design engineers to shape how cells integrate into the battery array, informing cooling methods and heat rejection designs for optimum system efficiency.
  • Provide technical expertise to a global team of internal and external stakeholders spanning Ford Racing production and motorsport vehicles.
  • Guide testing strategies to ensure data needed for models are generated effieciently. Define requirements for battery management systems as they relate to cell state estimation, life, and operational efficiency.

Qualifications
You'll have...
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field: Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a relevant field
  • 2+ years of direct experience modeling Li-Ion battery cells
  • Competency in relevant engineering software (e.g., COMSOL, GT-Suite, Python, MATLAB Simulink)
  • Working knowledge of battery cell test methods, chemistry, and key design parameters
  • Ability to travel domestically and internationally, as required
  • Sponsorship is NOT available for this position.

Even better, you may have...
  • Master's / Ph. D in a related field: Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a relevant field
  • Experience with 3D heterogeneous chemistry modeling
  • Hands-on experience producing lab-scale Li-Ion battery cells
  • High Voltage Safety Training
  • Competitive spirit and interest in professional motorsports
