Job description
Location: 4400 Papa Joe Hendrick Blvd, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262
Hendrick Motorsports is currently seeking an experienced and highly motivated Race Engieer- Performance Development.
The Race Engineer - Performance Development is a high level technical leadership role responsible for independently identifying, developing, and delivering competitive performance advantages for Hendrick Motorsports race teams on a continual basis.
This role goes beyond traditional setup refinement. The Race Engineer - Performance Dev is expected to define new paths to performance, leveraging advanced simulation, Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL), Design of Experiments (DOE), Lap Time Simulation (LTS), software development, AI-driven analytics, and unconventional methodologies to uncover gains others are not pursuing.
This individual must be highly self-motivated, capable of setting technical direction, executing complex test programs, building tools as needed, and leading small engineering groups through rigorous performance investigations. The role blends theoretical vehicle dynamics, hands-on mechanical work, mechatronics, and mentorship, and is critical to expanding the organization's long-term competitive edge.
Key Responsibilities:
Primary Responsibilities
1. Performance Discovery & Development (Primary Focus)
- Lead independent efforts to identify and deliver measurable performance gains for race teams on a recurring basis.
- Explore non-traditional and unconventional setup methodologies, vehicle behaviors, and testing strategies to pursue optimal performance.
- Apply advanced vehicle dynamics understanding across simulation, rig testing, and on-track environments.
- Drive correlation between simulation, DiL, 7-Post, and track data to ensure findings translate into real-world gains.
- Define technical problems worth solving - not just respond to existing requests.
2. Simulation, Software, & AI Tool Development
- Develop and maintain custom software tools, scripts, and workflows to accelerate performance discovery.
- Utilize AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to extract insight from large and complex datasets.
- Apply DOE, LTS, and simulation techniques in creative and forward-looking ways.
- Continuously push the boundaries of how simulation and data analytics are used within race engineering.
3. Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) Leadership
- Design, construct, and execute DiL test sessions, including setup definition, test plans, and optimization strategies.
- Lead groups of engineers during DiL testing, providing technical direction and real-time decision making.
- Translate DiL outcomes into actionable setup philosophies, development direction, and race-ready recommendations.
- Ensure DiL and Simulation activities are tightly correlated to track behavior and competitive objectives.
4. 7-Post Rig & Physical Testing
- Collaborate closely with 7-Post engineers to define test plans, DOE studies, and performance investigations.
- Actively participate in 7-Post operations, including mechanical changeover of the test car when required.
- Support rig testing with a strong understanding of suspension systems, damping, tires, and structural interactions.
- Apply findings from rig testing to simulation and on-track performance.
5. Mechatronics & Experimental Methods
- Apply mechatronics principles, sensors, and data acquisition systems to solve complex performance problems.
- Conceptualize and help develop actuation methods or loading techniques to test components, systems, or full vehicles.
- Direct small groups or individuals in experimental studies involving instrumentation and custom test setups.
- Support both shop-based and track-based experimental testing programs.
6. Trackside & Shop Support
- Provide high-level engineering support during select tests and race events, on-site or remote.
- Assist with race car preparation, troubleshooting, and performance validation when needed.
- Work effectively under pressure to deliver clear, actionable technical guidance.
7. Mentorship & Technical Leadership
- Serve as a mentor to younger engineers, developing their technical skills, engineering judgment, and professional habits.
- Help shape engineers into highly effective race engineers through guidance, feedback, and example.
- Foster a culture of curiosity, accountability, technical rigor, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications and Skills:
Qualifications and Skills:
- Experience:
- 2+ years of experience in motorsports engineering with emphasis on vehicle dynamics and performance optimization.
- 2+ years of experience of at track engineering support in a premier racing series - preferably Nascar Cup Series Level Competition

- Expertise with simulation and data analysis tools (MATLAB, Python, Pi Toolbox, Motec, etc.).
- Strong foundation in tire modeling adjustments, setup development, and system optimization.
- Demonstrates success in leading DiL or Test sessions and integrating results into competitive performance.
- Core Competencies:
- Accountability - accepts responsibility and accounts for actions.
- Accuracy - performs work accurately and thoroughly.
- Analytical Skills - applies critical thinking and reasoning to solve problems.
- Problem Solving - proactively finds solutions to work-related issues.
