General Information
Help improve the accuracy and predictive capability of tyre simulation across NASCAR and IndyCar applications.Your work will strengthen the connection between tyre behaviour, simulation and on-track performance, supporting better engineering decisions and vehicle development.
Your mission
Develop and improve tyre performance and thermal models for high-level NASCAR and IndyCar programmes.Work remotely within a specialist tyre engineering group of 3-4 engineers, contributing to simulation accuracy, tyre understanding and performance development under the guidance of a senior technical lead.
YOUR TASKS
- Support race, test, simulator, and rig activities and collaborate with engineers and drivers to optimize on track performance.
- Provide pre and post event simulations, analyse data, and deliver key tyre performance metrics at race and test events.
- Develop and improve tyre models from scratch, with particular focus on thermal behaviour, tyre warmup, wear, degradation and overall tyre performance.
- Ensure continuous validation and correlation of tyre models with track and rig data to guarantee robust simulation results.
- Integrate and validate tyre models in offline simulation and DiL environments to support vehicle performance analysis and development.
- Contribute to tyre development programmes across different motorsport championships, working closely with tyre manufacturers to define development targets, coordinate testing and evaluate tyre performance.
- Interact across the team to develop methods, tools, and solutions that support objective technical decision making.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly skilled and detail oriented engineer with a strong background in tyre performance, vehicle dynamics, simulation and tyre modelling.✅ Education & Experience:
