Performance Simulation Engineer

Job description:

Performance Simulation Engineers are responsible for making the car quicker through advance modelling and simulation tools such as offline simulations or driver in the loop simulators (DILs). They are heavily involved in race preparation, live race car support and post event analysis. It is a data driven discipline where the perfect correlation of the simulations and the real car is always the objective.

Duties:

Help to deliver performance to the race car through simulation tools usage and development.
To develop simulation tools across a wide range of topics such as Energy Management, Tyres, Vehicle Dynamics, Lap Sims, etc.
Help to run and operate the driver in the loop simulator sessions.
Help to develop tools for the driver in the loop simulator.
Responsible for managing and developing the setup management tool used in the racing team.
Responsible for running all the pre-event offline simulations and analysis.
Get involved in the Ops Room (Mission Control) for supporting the Race Team at the track side during the events.
Contribute to the coding/maintenance/development of models of the race car.
To participate in the overall correlation of the simulation tools across the team.
To support the more Senior Engineers in the team on performance analysis of race/test/DIL events.

Knowledge and skills:

At least 1 year of experience in motorsport.
Effective communication and collaboration skills.
Self-motivated, proactive, solution focused attitude.
Extensive knowledge of data acquisition, data analysis, and statistical analysis.
Extensive knowledge and understanding of racing car vehicle dynamics.
Experience and knowledge of Matlab/Simulink and WinTAX/SYSMA.
Knowledge of Python or any other programming language.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement required.
Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to achieve common goals.
