Abhiemanyu Sukumaran ’24 (ME) landed his dream job as a Performance Analysis Engineer at McLaren Racing after serving as president of UConn Formula SAE for two years.
When Abhiemanyu Sukumaran ’24 (ENG) attended his first virtual meeting for UConn Formula SAE, he had no idea it would redefine his future. What began as curiosity during the COVID era quickly became a passion—and ultimately a launchpad into the pinnacle of motorsport.
Today, Sukumaran is a Performance Analysis Engineer at the McLaren F1 Team, helping prepare championship-contending cars and drivers for races around the world.
In his role at McLaren Racing, Sukumaran works at the crossroads of car performance, driver performance, and future vehicle development. As he puts it, performance analysis engineers are effectively “the race engineers at the factory.”
