As a Senior Engineer (m/f/d) Simulation, you’ll be part of a small UK team with the mission to support global Toyota with our in-house simulator technology.
You will contribute to the continued development of this technology for a broad range of Motorsport and Automotive applications and be required to take ownership of feature developments and customer deliverables. This will involve algorithm and model development to keep Toyota at the leading edge of innovation and drive forward the virtualisation of vehicle development. You’ll also have close contact with the customer/ end-user, allowing you to be part of the full development cycle - from requirements and concept development through to delivery of your work. This will include occasional travel to other Toyota facilities around the world for support and delivery.
As part of the UK team, you’ll also work closely with various TGR-E groups in our head office in Cologne, supporting a common development process and technologies. You will have the opportunity to mentor younger team members, whilst still learning from subject matter experts within the business.
