Alpine F1 Team have an excellent opportunity to join our team as a Senior Simulation Development Engineer within our Control, Simulation and Modelling Group.
Senior Simulation Development Engineer – The Role
This position will focus on supporting the development and maintenance of vehicle models and simulation tools and be involved in developing complex simulation and optimisation techniques that meet the Team's future simulation requirements. Based within the Simulation Development Group at Enstone, the role will involve collaboration with other members of that group and interaction with members of the Performance Systems Group and Race Team to support them in their use of our models and simulation tools.
You will be responsible for delivering hi-fidelity vehicle models and simulation tools (including dynamic & steady state) with the appropriate level of complexity and fidelity to meet the needs of the users in the Performance Systems Group and Race Team. You will provide user support and maintenance for our vehicle models and existing simulation tools. This position also requires and individual to develop complex simulation methodologies, and optimisation techniques that fully exploit our vehicle models and simulation tools to direct car setup and design.
Senior Simulation Development Engineer – The Person
We are looking for individuals with a first-class degree in engineering, mathematics or physics with a strong theoretical mathematical background. We are looking for an individual with several years professional or PhD experience in a relevant vehicle modelling environment, F1 experience being a clear advantage. An understanding of racing car vehicle dynamics and suspension, tyre & aerodynamic modelling is required. Good working knowledge of C/C++/Python programming, Simulink and vehicle dynamics is preferable. Knowledge in the use of optimal control theory and DYMOLA for multibody and multi-domain modelling will provide an advantage
