Smedley Group: Engineering the Future of Motorsport
Motorsport has always been a proving ground for engineering excellence — a place where data, precision, and human performance collide at extreme speed. But historically, the tools that shape elite racing have been locked behind closed doors, accessible only to the biggest teams with the deepest budgets.
Smedley Group is changing that.
Founded by former Ferrari and Williams F1 engineer Rob Smedley, the company brings Formula 1‑grade engineering, data science, and operational systems to the broader motorsport world. Their mission is simple: make racing faster, fairer, cleaner, and more accessible through objective, measurable performance analysis.
Today, Smedley Group operates across the UK, US, and Europe, building a team of engineers, data specialists, mechanics, and event operators who thrive in high‑pressure motorsport environments.
And right now, they’re hiring.
Why Smedley Group Exists
Motorsport has a visibility problem. Talent is everywhere, but the pathways are inconsistent, subjective, and often inaccessible. Traditional development relies heavily on opinion rather than data.
Smedley Group exists to fix that.
By building platforms for real‑time data acquisition, analytics, simulation, and operational tooling, they’re creating a modern infrastructure for motorsport — one that identifies talent objectively and improves racing at every level.
Their flagship initiative, the FAT Karting League, uses F1‑derived data systems to evaluate drivers with unprecedented accuracy. It’s one of the first genuine attempts to democratise elite motorsport technology.
This is motorsport rebuilt for the modern era.
A Job Board Built for Motorsport and Racing Technology
Smedley Group isn’t a traditional racing team. It’s a hybrid: part engineering startup, part motorsport operations unit, part technology lab.
If you work in motorsport, engineering, racing operations, or event delivery, you shouldn’t have to dig through irrelevant listings or generic job boards. You should be able to find roles that match your skills, your technical background, and your passion for racing.
That’s why their roles sit on Shred Shark — a platform built for sport, action, outdoor, and performance industries.
