If you share our racer's spirit and want to contribute to the next chapter in Aston Martin's glorious history, please apply and join one of the most exciting projects in Formula One.

An exciting opportunity exists for a Vehicle Modelling Engineer to join the Performance Simulation Group .

The current Formula One regulations heavily limit real world testing of a F1 car. This makes the role of unregulated simulation indispensable in the development and optimisation of many areas of a Formula One team, particularly in Performance Engineering, where the performance targets for the car design are generated, and the on-track performance of the current season's car is understood and optimised.

This role will be focused on the development of the Team's performance vehicle models and simulations, for use trackside, in the simulator and in offline vehicle development settings. Our goal is to produce a portfolio of cutting-edge tools across all simulation use cases. The position will involve cooperation with Performance Development, Simulator Development, Performance Software, Performance Optimisation, Race Engineering, Aerodynamics, R&D and Mechanical Design functions.

Responsibilities :

• Development of advanced physical models of a Formula One car and its subsystems
• Development of simulation algorithms that exercise the high-fidelity vehicle model to enable engineers to perform complex analysis
• Researching new or alternative modelling and simulation methodologies to keep the department on the bleeding edge
• Writing readable, maintainable, and efficient code
• Communicating with other departments to deliver projects within the Team

Candidate Profile :

Competitive candidates will meet a range of the following criteria:

• Degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline (Masters/PhD preferred)
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills
• Motivated by finding creative and practical solutions to complex problems
• Ability to work effectively within a cross-functional team, and with minimal supervision
• Strong interest in topics such as numerical methods, control theory, statistics, computational methods, and nonlinear programming
• Competent with MATLAB and Simulink
• Experience with common programming languages, such as C/C++
• Good understanding of OOP principles
• Experience with Git or other source control tools

We will be sending out a test to all candidates on Monday 15th April 2024, so please ensure you check your junk mail.
