Job Description

The Performance Engineer directly contributes to the performance of our race cars by working closely with the race engineers, engineering staff, and crew chiefs, while also working independently to identify, test, organize, analyze, validate, and communicate areas of improvement and ways in which these improvements can be realized. Using data, research, internal and external resources, as well as other staff, the performance engineer role will develop items and help to understand and optimize configurations that will aid in the performance of the race car.

A strong interpersonal and communication skillset is required, along with an exceptional team mentality. Performance Engineers are encouraged to challenge established thinking and share their ideas to create an environment where everyone can contribute to our shared success.

  • Optimize suspension systems during 7-Post testing
  • Conduct on track testing, data analysis, & performance reporting
  • Collaborate with Performance Engineers & Race Engineers to develop & refine engineering tools
  • Provide live race support — monitor timing & scoring, track performance trends, and communicate clear, actionable observations to race teams.
  • Develop, standardize, and maintain engineering reports and performance documentation

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Automotive, or related discipline)
  • Minimum 3 years of motorsports experience
