Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord, NC three times per week, at minimum.
The Role
This role will work within the GM Motorsports Program to develop performance metrics, conceptualize new analysis methods, and implement these techniques to produce improved on-track performance. The focus of the Metrics/Methods Developer is the derivation and validation of new performance metrics and new analysis procedures to better characterize vehicle or team performance. Collaboration with the GM Software group is essential in implementing these methods into production tools. The team will initially focus on supporting new GM motorsports ventures, including exploratory studies to support a potential Formula 1 program. With the focus on new programs, work will include the development of vehicle, track, and competitor characterizations methods and measures.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with GM supported teams and GM personnel to understand team objectives, participate in a coordinated effort and convey findings.
Continuously strive to improve GM Motorsports programs’ analysis methods and vehicle dynamics understanding by:
-
Reimagining new and better solutions to common problems or questions.
-
Staying informed of latest industry advances.
-
Drawing on math, physics, vehicle dynamics and data science methods to develop new performance measures to characterize vehicle handling, performance, and potential.
-
Prototyping new ideas and validating these against track and test data.
-
Team up with GM Software groups and Andretti personnel to implement solutions into our production toolchain.
-
Collaborate with group Performance Engineers to employ newest methods and tool into production analysis procedures, continually increasing the insight derived from regular analysis work.
