Data Science Engineer

Application Deadline: 27 March 2026

Department: Vehicle Science

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Silverstone

Reporting To: Robbie Stevens

Description

Are you passionate about applying advanced modelling and AI to unlock performance in one of the most cutting edge engineering environments in the world? Join our Vehicle Science team as a Data Science Engineer, where your work will directly influence and continuously improve the performance of our Formula One car.

This is a unique opportunity to use mathematical modelling, physics based methods, and machine learning to accelerate simulation, improve predictive capabilities, and generate high value insights across aerodynamics and other engineering domains.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of data driven performance engineering. You will:

  • Build robust, reliable data driven and physics informed models using advanced mathematical and AI/ML methods.
  • Develop and optimise scalable data pipelines integrating simulation data, physical testing outputs, and trackside measurements.
  • Research and implement state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques to improve modelling fidelity and computational speed.
  • Collaborate with Aerodynamics, Vehicle Performance, Simulation & Modelling and other technical groups to embed insights into engineering decisions.
  • Communicate findings through clear reports, visualisations, and presentations for both technical and nontechnical audiences.
  • Ensure data quality, security, and compliance across the modelling workflow.
  • Write clean, maintainable code using modern software engineering practices and AI assisted development tools.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

We’re looking for someone analytical, curious, and ready to push boundaries. You should have:

  • A master's degree or higher in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of reduced order modelling and ideally exposure to fluid mechanics or other complex physical systems.
  • Excellent analytical skills across experimental methods, modelling, statistical inference, and data driven techniques.
  • Familiarity with surrogate modelling, emulators, and predictive algorithms used to accelerate engineering workflows.
  • Preferably, strong programming skills in Python and experience with ML/scientific libraries such as SciKitLearn, JAX or PyTorch. However, software training will also be provided.
  • Ability to work calmly under pressure, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality results on tight timelines.
  • Strong problem-solving ability and confidence making data driven recommendations.
  • A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for building strong working relationships across teams.
Benefits

Investing in your career is paramount. We promote professional and personal development through a provision of learning opportunities and work with you to shape your career and realise your full potential.

As part of our high-performing, collaborative team, you'll enjoy a competitive package, including a discretionary bonus scheme, private healthcare, pension plan, life assurance, TEDSgroup childcare benefits, a cycle-to-work scheme, tech scheme, and car scheme.

You will also have access to our state-of-the-art facilities at the AMR Technology Campus, featuring a new on-site gym with fitness, spin and yoga classes, a bistro café, and restaurant.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
