For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.
Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity for a Simulator Performance Engineer to join our Vehicle Performance Group.
This is an exciting role for a motivated and enthusiastic engineer to develop and deliver analysis techniques and direction to determine optimum vehicle performance using offline vehicle dynamic tools and the driver-in-the-loop simulator. Whilst this role is working from the factory base, a large part of this role would be supporting Trackside Engineers before, during and after race events, through simulations and analysis.
The successful candidate will validate simulator output with track data and compare car characteristics of the Simulator and Race Car using objective and quantifiable metrics. You will also be expected to define and organise experiments and run plans to execute simulator test requests and provide detailed analysis and reporting of the results.
Minimum Requirements
Due to the nature of this role, we are looking for someone with:
* A strong academic background with a master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical/Automotive/Aeronautical Engineering
* Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics principles and a strong working knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink.
* Excellent communication and organisational skills are required as well as an eye for detail.
* Relevant experience in a similar position and the ability to work in a fast-paced and high-pressure environment.
What We Can Offer You
Not only is this a fantastic role, but it is also a fantastic team to work with here at Red Bull Technology. A good salary is just the start; there are many other benefits too such as our bonus scheme, private health care cover, life assurance scheme, workplace nursery, company-contributed pension scheme, on-site gym & fitness classes, free food, and a cycle to work scheme.
