Talent Pool: Simulator Engineer
Brackley, UK
Before a driver turns a single wheel on track, countless hours of preparation happen behind the scenes, not in the garage, but inside state of the art Driver in the Loop (DIL) simulators. This is where race weekends are rehearsed, car concepts are explored, and performance is unlocked long before the lights go out. Every lap, every setup change, and every engineering decision is informed by the accuracy, fidelity, and capability of these advanced simulation environments.
Behind this technology are the engineers who design, develop, operate, and refine the tools that help shape our car’s competitiveness. If you’re motivated by technical challenge, fascinated by the relationship between virtual and real world performance, and excited by the opportunity to make a direct impact on car development, we invite you to join our Simulator Engineering Talent Pool.
What Future Opportunities Might Involve:
* Work collaboratively as part of the DIL Simulator Team and contribute towards identifying and addressing performance limitations of the car
* Support the operation and development of our DIL Simulators, putting in place improvements to the hardware, software and testing processes to maximise the quality and robustness of the facility
* Propose novel hardware and software solutions to enhance the capability of our DIL Simulators
* Plan, execute and analyse DIL Simulator test sessions to feed into current car performance optimisation and future car concept development
* Monitor and assess correlation of the vehicle and sub-system models, ensuring validity of the simulation results and suggesting key areas for improvement
* Support the advancement of processes and in-house tools to maximise efficiency through streamlining testing, automating repetitive tasks and improving data analysis
What We Typically Look For:
* Strong academic and practical background with an Engineering degree (Mechanical, Electrical, Controls or similar)
* Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
* High level of computer literacy and willingness to learn new computing programmes
* Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams, to deadlines, and under minimal supervision
* Highly motivated, enthusiastic, and organised self-starter with excellent communication skills
* Flexibility with respect to working hours and comfortable with a changeable schedule
They can also have:
* Familiarity and understanding of highly integrated mechanical systems
* Experience with motor and actuator control technology such as Beckhoff
* Experience using System Monitor and ATLAS
* Familiarity with coding in Matlab or Python and use of source control tools
* Experience with simulation and performance analysis in Formula One, another top-level motorsport category or equivalent high-level engineering industry
* Appreciation of vehicle dynamics theory and modelling techniques
Across all levels, we value individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoy using software, data, and modelling to solve engineering challenges.
