Tasks and responsibilities contain as a baseline, but are not limited to the following:

• Work within the WRT-BMW Engineering Group (Performance Engineering) in WEC to continuously look to optimize and improve performance of our LMDh race cars.
• Work in tight collaboration with the race car allocated race- and systems-engineer.
• Provide performance and driver analysis to support Race Engineer on setup/performance systems directions prior to, during and post event.
• Responsible for performance simulations: preparation, execution and analysis.
• Performance overview throughout the use of KPI, data analysis and simulations.
• Lead pre-event driver preparation document and post event driver analysis report.
• Provide race strategy support to Race Engineer with fuel and energy tracking and optimization.
• Monitor and manage vehicle performance during free practice, qualifying, and race sessions.
• Work collaboratively with vehicle dynamics, tire, systems, and simulation teams to validate tools and models.
• Conduct competitor analysis using FIA data, onboard footage, and lap-time modelling.
• Prepare detailed pre- and post-event reports highlighting key performance insights.
• Lead data reviews with drivers and contribute to debriefs and strategy meetings. 
• Assist in developing automated tools for data processing and visualization.
• Support rig tests, dyno work, and simulator sessions as required
• Ensure compliance with technical regulations and BoP (Balance of Performance) limitations.
• Be responsible for dedicated performance-related tasks assigned by WRT LMDh Chief Engineer.
• Work with global BMW and WRT engineering groups to maintain, develop and update any Engineering and analysis tools and software.
