Job Description

The SRT Motorsports Project Engineer is responsible for managing various technical projects across the SRT Motorsports programs. The candidate will coordinate with cross-functional teams, including vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, electrical, and mechanical design, to establish development timelines to meet all functional objectives and program deadlines. Further responsibilities include analyzing and mitigating the impact of engineering and program requests on overall vehicle performance. The Project Engineer also leads coordination of activities with multiple external stakeholders and must be confident providing updates to senior management regarding the state of the program.

This development work involves significant coordination between engineering offices and track environments, with travel required to test locations and race events as both schedule and competition needs dictate. Travel is mostly domestic within North America but can also be international.

Job Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Provide guidance to design and engineering teams to develop mechanical and electrical architectures which support motorsports program targets
• Lead development activities including testing and assessment of vehicle-level function to ensure alignment with performance targets across aerodynamics, dynamics, and electrical systems
• Responsible for the project management of mechanical and electromechanical components and systems to achieve functional attribute targets
• Manage technical projects spanning vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, electrical, and mechanical design disciplines
• Work closely with suppliers and partners to drive changes required to complete the tuning and integration of all systems
• Support all active engineering teams in development/implementation/testing of hardware and supporting software through data acquisition systems
• Coordinate development of state-of-the-art prototype solutions for competition vehicles
• Work closely with chassis and electrical team members to develop seamless integration between mechanical and electrical subsystems
