• Support preparation of pre-event analyses, engineering reports, setup comparisons, and post-event summaries for the IndyCar program.

• Develop and maintain analysis tools, dashboards, and repeatable workflows using appropriate engineering and data-analysis methods.

• Assist with investigations involving vehicle dynamics, tire performance, fuel efficiency, race strategy, reliability, and other competition-relevant topics.

• Organize technical information and communicate findings clearly through concise presentations, written reports, and engineering reviews.

• Collaborate with race engineers, vehicle-performance engineers, powertrain partners, and internal GM engineering teams while maintaining data quality and confidentiality.

• Contribute to a safety-focused, disciplined, and continuous-improvement-oriented motorsports environment.

Required Qualifications:

• Pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree in:

• mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, data science, applied mathematics, physics, or a related field.

• Able to work full-time, 40 hours per week during the summer months.

• Able to work onsite on a full-time basis at the Charlotte Technical Center.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with vehicle-performance analysis, motorsports, automotive engineering, or another high-performance engineering environment.

• Experience using Excel, Python, MATLAB, or similar tools to analyze and visualize engineering data.

• Coursework or project experience in vehicle dynamics, data acquisition, controls, powertrain, simulation, or race engineering.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative, detail-oriented environment.

• Hands-on experience with engineering projects, laboratory testing, or technical data collection.
