About the role

Job TitleWe are looking for a highly skilled and motivated engineer with a passion for simulation and performance engineering. Your Mission Develop and maintain high-fidelity vehicle physics models and sub-models to enhance simulation toolsets. Continuously validate and correlate models with real-world track and rig data to ensure robust, reliable simulation results. Research and implement cutting-edge technologies to evolve simulation capabilities and meet engineering requirements. Work cross-functionally with race engineers, performance analysts, and control engineers to provide solutions that support technical decision-making. Ensure simulation tools and models remain at the forefront of accuracy and efficiency.

Your Profile: We can currently only consider applications from candidates based in Europe or the USA. Please take a good look at the minimum requirements and please be aware that any applications not matching these minimum profile requirements will be ignored.

Education & Experience: A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field. Strong background in mechanics and vehicle dynamics. Prior experience in modelling, simulation, or performance engineering within motorsport or high-performance automotive environments is essential.

Technical Skills: Proficiency in engineering simulation software and object-oriented programming (Python, MATLAB, C++ preferred).Strong mathematical and analytical skills, particularly in multibody dynamics and numerical methods. Familiarity with race car dynamics, control systems, and aerodynamic modelling. Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to engineering challenges. Excellent communication and collaboration skills—able to work closely with a multidisciplinary team. Passionate about motorsport, performance engineering, and continuous learning.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
